You will work alongside volunteers and conservationists, and can get involved in:

• Documenting rare blue-headed macaw parrots by the river bank
• Capturing footage of mammals, which may include jaguars, tapirs or peccary through camera traps
• Surveying amphibians and reptiles on transect surveys, pitfall surveys, leaf litter plots and bamboo traps
• Collecting data on butterflies
• Supporting sustainable community projects

Trips start every month and you can stay for 2-6 weeks.
You will join your new team of volunteers for 2 days in the stunning ancient city of Cusco and have a city tour before then making your way over the mountains down to the rainforest.
You will then be based at the rainforest centre which is within one of the world’s most biodiverse hotspots, the Manu Biosphere Reserve. The research centre is based at the furthest tip of the Upper Amazon River in a remote region, which is the largest tropical rainforest biosphere reserve on earth.

This project is a real immersion into the remote Amazon jungle!
