jungle packing do´s & don'ts

March 28, 2025by: Caleb Rollins - United StatesProgram: Jungle Conservation—Volunteer in Peru!

I really appreciated all of the help I got from Maximo throughout my time here. Both the general orientation and the jungle conservation orientations were thorough and necessary. Some things I would recommend future volunteers to pack is a dry bag, something like a trash bag or better that you can put wet clothes inside. Also, some crocs or rubber slip-ons that you can get wet. On the other hand, something you shouldn´t bring is big rubber boots that can´t get wet on the inside. I would suggest bringing only Wellys.

undersold but OVERdelivered experience with Maximo Nivel!

I was genuinely really impressed with the whole experience at Maximo Nivel. I booked the trip through another organization that helps find volunteer work abroad, and the coordinator undersold the experience by a longshot. So, when I arrived, I was not expecting it to be as good as it was.

Awesome Experience!

Overall it was an awesome experience. Cristobal and Emily were wonderful and made our group feel like a family. The food was delicious, activities were very fun especially tree planting and gardening, and the people were lovely!
