Jungle Conservation - Peru

I volunteered on the Jungle Conservation project. I had a 2 day orientation in Cusco where I stayed with a host family before traveling to Puerto Maldonado to volunteer in the Peruvian Amazon for 2 weeks. I got to participate in so many environmental conservation projects in the jungle that I would not have the opportunity to do anywhere else. Some of the activities were permaculture, wildlife monitoring, trail maintenance, tropical farming, and sustainable living. This is not for the faint hearted as you will be living off the grid and won't have time to leave the reserve until the volunteering session is over as the location is remote. I saw and learned so much about the wildlife in the rainforest - I will never forget it. I would go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it!
