Review
I first traveled with IVHQ in May of 2019 to Guatemala. After an extended hiatus and building my own life I returned to them in April of 2026 for a trip to the Galapagos. Both times they exceeded expectations on adequately preparing me for my journey. Staff is extremely responsive, instructions are incredibly clear and equally helpful when navigating foreign lands. Homestays will vary by region and available resources, but IVHQ leaves no surprises. I have always felt well informed on what to expect from my trip. I am very confident in IVHQ’s trustworthiness and dependability by now, I can’t wait to make my next journey with them. I will not be waiting nearly as long as I did the last time.

Private Note to Provider (optional)
Not sure if this should be an IVHQ change, or a Local Team/Organization recommendation. Volunteers should receive more information about the unique animals they are caring for. Additional recommendation for stronger shoes/boots. Impressively large thorns which can pierce thinner soles.
