Incredible experience
August 07, 2025by: Alfred DupreyProgram: Rainforest Conservation in Peru
This experience is awsome for a lot of reasons ; First things first, Peru is a beautiful country, and the Amazionian rain forest is one of the most beautiful things i've seen in my entire life. At the Taricaya reserve, I felt useful and not like a random tourist, i felt like i was doing something really meaningful. Everyone at the reserve was nice and friendly, and wanted to share their knowledge with us. I did many things and different activities, from farming to building, or feeding the animals... Thank you to Taricaya Eco Reserve and Projects abroad for this amazing experience !
Volunteering At Taricaya
July 22, 2025by: Natalie KuresovaProgram: Rainforest Conservation in Peru
My stay at Taricaya EcoReserve lasted two weeks, which made for a truly incredible experience. I was given the chance to explore a whole new culture, work with flora and fauna and meet amazing people, some of which have truly impacted me with their stories and others which I have formed strong friendships with! I would definitely recommend this to anybody who takes an interest in travelling, geography, the environment and doesn’t mind getting muddy!
