Come to see for yourself
or to lend a hand

We love to let our work speak for itself.  In person, restoration is something you can touch.  Come and experience our unique reforestation center in the middle of one of the most biodiverse forests in the world.

Whether for a comfortable retreat among the trees, or to get your hands dirty in the day to day of the farm, we accept a modest number of visitors and volunteers each year, limited by the size of our accommodations. 

If you feel the call to visit, volunteer, or intern, please read this page in its entirety and complete the form at the bottom, telling us a bit about what inspires you to make the journey.

The cost of your stay (in $USD or S/. PEN) covers dormitory-style lodgings in the beautiful Casa Fénix and three substantial (and delicious) meals a day.

Our farm quarters offer modest solar power, dry composting toilets, well water for drinking and showers, and the breathtaking beauty of the Tambopata River for bathing.

Please fill out the form below to book your stay!

Ready for a life-changing experience of immersion in the Peruvian Amazon? Interns are hard-working and dedicated to creating a better world one day at a time. Prepare to form friendships with hundreds of species of Amazonian plants.

Some limited guidance and coordination with our team can be arranged when relevant to Camino Verde’s priorities.
