Travel Advice
The Andes
"I have vounteered in the past, where I wasn’t sure what I was doing was really helping out the community but I really felt I got to see, first hand how the community was benefitting.

I will always cherish the memories I had there among many other things." Sarah (California, USA)

The Amazon
"Our time at the Animal Rescue Center was beyond what we had ever expected, but what we hoped for!

I would recommend it to anyone who loves animals, can appreciate rustic living in remote locations, likes a little physical labour, and has a big heart." Angela and Jye (Australia)

The Coast
Besides greatly improving my Spanish in just two weeks, I made very strong bonds with these people that I will never forget.

If you are interested in immersing yourself in a beautiful indigenous culture and improving your Spanish, I would highly recommend Agua Blanca in Manabi." James Mannix (USA)
