Ecuador
The Amazon rainforest in Ecuador is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity. This region, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," houses an immense variety of plant and animal species, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. Ecuador's Amazon is home to more than 1,000 species of birds, 1,500 species of butterflies, and countless mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Beyond its ecological significance, the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador is also culturally rich, inhabited by numerous indigenous communities such as the Huaorani, Shuar, and Kichwa.
We have one program in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador dealing with Wildlife Rehabilitation. You will stay in a simple wooden jungle hut propped up on stilts, surrounded by the Amazon rainforest.
Accommodation in Ecuador
Jungle Huts for Volunteers
Accommodation for volunteers is in simple wooden jungle huts, propped up on stilts, offering dormitory accommodation surrounded by the Amazon rainforest, including a kitchen and a lounge. There are Western toilets and showers. The kitchen is equipped with basic utensils such as pots, pans, plates, cups, cutlery, etc. Water is available, but electricity is only available in the evenings when a generator is switched on for you to charge your electronics. Otherwise, candles are used, with stocks maintained in the houses. We recommend you carry a flashlight with you. There is a fire pit for bonfires and hammocks for you to relax in at the end of the day.
Montenegro
Montenegro, a small Balkan country nestled along the Adriatic Sea, is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, ranging from rugged mountains and pristine beaches to serene lakes and dense forests. Historic coastal towns like Kotor and Budva, boast medieval architecture, vibrant nightlife, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Despite its compact size, Montenegro offers diverse outdoor activities such as hiking, sailing, and skiing, making it a paradise for adventure seekers. The country's warm Mediterranean climate, friendly locals, and delicious cuisine further enhance its appeal as a captivating travel destination.
The Adriatic Sea in Montenegro is known for sightings of the bottlenose dolphin and whales, and the occasional presence of other cetaceans such as the striped dolphin and the common dolphin. The presence of these marine mammals make it an important area for marine conservation and a fascinating destination for eco-tourism and wildlife enthusiasts. You can participate in our Cetacean Research Program in Montenegro.
