Program Highlights
The rainforest project in Peru is one for the more adventurous! But nonetheless the accommodation is comfortable and three square meals are provided.
Taricaya is increasingly recognized internationally as a research center and has contributed a number of important research papers at international conferences, especially in the field of ornithology.
Taricaya is also Peru's premier animal release center for wild animals that have become abandoned pets and been caught in towns near the forest.
A great canopy walkway, South America's highest, gives you access to the top of the forest, leading to a totally new world.
Taricaya is at the heart of the Amazon and at the heart of conservation work in the Amazon.

Incredible experience
August 07, 2025by: Alfred DupreyProgram: Conservation in Peru with Projects AbroadThis 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: Conservation in Peru with Projects AbroadMy 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!
