A Journey for the Soul and Healing for the Spirit

My 12 year old daughter and I volunteered with RAREC in February of 2019 and we are making our return trip this coming weekend. This program made such a profound impact on myself and my daughter, that we are likely to make our visits to RAREC part of our life for decades to come. Interacting with the animals, the people of Iquitos, and the staff at RAREC is inspiring, deeply moving, and refreshing for the heart. We took part in community activism, environmental education programs and English language education for the locals, wildlife rehabilitation and enrichment, and this trip we will even be part of a release of one of the RAREC's rescues back to the wild. Being among the animals, in their natural environment and experiencing the truly rich culture of the people of Iquitos is a lifetime experience and if you have the opportunity to experience it, I wouldn't miss out! John and Kathya and excellent hosts, and make you feel like part of the RAREC family.
