Volunteer with local Amerindian communities to help sustain the Amazon rainforest, its wildlife and the Amerindian way of life!

Venture to Guyana to work together with local Amerindian Communities and Help set up a sustainable eco-friendly infrastructure within their community through construction, maintenance, wildlife research & monitoring!

Depending on your skills, interest and experience, the projects you are involved in will vary and could include anything from supporting the Eco-lodge with marketing skills, helping teach children and adults valuable IT skills or trekking into the forest to sensitively build wildlife viewing camps.

This Is Why

  • Experience life in the amazing jungles of South America, a lost world teeming with wildlife
  • Sleep in hammocks amongst the trees and wake up to a serenade of monkeys, birds and cicadas
  • Volunteer alongside local Amerindian people, enabling them to develop sustainable eco-tourism and protect their way of life.
  • Help to save the Amazon rainforest!


In order to prevent the threat of logging and mining in these precious areas, the local Amerindian communities need to build some eco-tourism infrastructure so that they can sensitively benefit from this incredible resource without destroying it.

Without the infrastructure there is no way to attract tourists to the area or to support them when they arrive. The communities do not have the resources to develop this infrastructure themselves which is where they need your support. With the time and skills of volunteers like you they have the opportunity to create facilities and activities for Guyana is already starting to develop and tourism will increase.

We want to ensure that this is done in the best way possible in order to protect the traditional way of life for Amerindian communities and also protect the precious tropical rainforest and it’s extraordinary biodiversity.
