It is well known that anybody who volunteers, can gain skills, experience, acquire lasting friendships while helping and contributing others less fortunate than themselves. For these reasons, volunteering can be a valuable opportunity for anyone seeking to learn about and integrate into a new environment.
Rurrenabaque or ‘Rurre’ as it is affectionately known amongst locals and travellers is best described as a ‘Jungle Hub’. It is from here you will head out into the Jungle/Pampas in search of Anaconda, Caiman, piranhas, Capybaras, (the worlds largest rodent), monkeys, and a huge variety of birds.
You will travel by boat to the one of the ‘basic’ lodges where you will sleep and eat for the rest of the tour. From here you will enjoy treks into the surrounding jungle during the day and night in search of wildlife. This is a truly amazing tour that will keep you buzzing for days, and one you will remember for life!
