Description
Unfortunately, some wild animals in Peru are mistreated by their previous owners, poachers or illegal hunting. The Wildlife Center rescues these animals and takes care of them. At the same time, the sanctuary also aims to educate visitors about endangered species and actively fight for the reproduction of these species. Only by raising awareness among locals and tourists can something be done for species conservation.
Become part of the local team and help care for the animals in the shelter. You can also contribute to the conservation of native animal species and draw attention to the importance of animal and environmental protection.

Peru is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in Peru all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, certain levels of the language of your destination country may be required to complete the project. We would be happy to advise you individually on your chosen project.
Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.
