Come Help us at RUNAmazon!
EcoWarrior Volunteer & Travel
We offer students, youth, or other groups the opportunity to engage directly with the sustainable future of amazon environments and communities by participating in our EcoWarrior Volunteer program. Our 7 day programs are hands on and educational. Not only will groups leave having contributed to the community by building sustainable technology, but also they will learn about local culture and their environmental impact through workshops and visits to the surrounding areas.
In two weeks, groups can participate in the construction of a rainwater harvesting system, compost facility, edible garden, reforestation project, or other sustainable technology while learning about the culture through short trips to the neighboring villages of Lamas, Chirikyacu, Sauce, Moyobamba or Chazuta. Groups will also have the opportunity to visit some of the waterfalls accessible by trails, lead by a trained local forest guide.
For individuals we've got monthly based programs with Spanish Lessons, Volunteering in Local Community Projects and Eco-Tours.
How to Get Here
The project is located in San Roque de Cumbaza, a village located 40 minutes outside the city of Tarapoto. There are daily flights from Lima to Tarapoto, and we will organize your transportation from the airport to the village of San Roque.
