Tapiche is were my heart was happy

I was able to spent 1,5 months in this incredible project in April and May 2018.

The accomodation is simple but comfortable (there are mosquito nets, which is Importamt!) and the food was delicious!

Ultimately, I was planing to only go to the reserva for 4 days to do a classic Wildlife observation Tour, but ended up staying way longer. Murillo, the initiator of the project just saw how happy I was out there, and that's why I was allowed to stay as a volunteer.

As it wasn't Turtle recue season, there wasn't that much to do. I tried to help with whatever I could, tough (cooking meals, preparing picnics for the Jungle hiks, collecting trash out of the river, harvesting Mangos,...).

And If sometimes there was nothing at all to do, I simply enjoyed beeing there, chatting with the guests, murillo and the local workers, reading in one of the hammocks or taking a swimm in the river.

I still think about this magical place a lot, where the air is filled with the noises of nocturnal Monkeys and brething Dolphins in the night and every morning we were greeted by the friendly neighboring sloth. I can only recommend to go there and I promise you an experience, you will never forget.
