This was by far THE HARDEST place to leave! Daniel and his mother are so amazing and the most genuine kind souls I've ever met in my entire life. Not only will you be inspired by the locals and indigenous communities but you will be inspired by the incredible wildlife you get to work with! the animals touch your heart and I'm so happy I was able to make a lasting impact by helping build fences, walls, and much more in the sanctuary. The rooms at the hostel are amazing and you get HOT SHOWERS! 😍 this was an experience that I will never forget. The Amazon now has a special place in my heart <3

Danny is a passionate and dedicated conservationist who works directly and closely with locals for the conservation of flora and fauna. Danny cares for his volunteers' well-being and experience and would explain about the environment/ plants/animals so it was super informative and educational. You will definitely get to be hands-on with the various projects - animals at the sanctuary Los Loritos, hummingbird park, raintorest conservation area in the Amazon just to name a tew. We recommend this to anyone interested to have a meaningful experience in the Amazon! Thank you so much Danny!
