Payment Terms
If you are interested in volunteering in Peru’s Amazon Basin as a reforestation volunteer or intern, you will need to fill out the online application form – to secure a placement on the project, please complete and submit the form including your application payment of £195. If for some reason, your application is not accepted, we will reimburse this payment fully. However, for those who are accepted, 25% of the full amount needs to be paid within 14 days of being confirmed on the project, with the remainder (75%) to be paid one month before arrival.
Project Dates
Volunteers/interns need to arrive in Puerto Maldonado on their start date ideally around noon (at latest by 3pm), for an onward transfer the same day to the reforestation centre. If you can’t get a morning/early afternoon arrival, then we would advise staying the night in a guest house/hotel in Puerto Maldonado. Please note the dates below are Monday to Monday, however, we are flexible and you can start on any day as your transfer to the reforestation centre is included in the cost.
