Volunteer at eco camp in Orinoco Delta, Venezuela
Pays: Venezuela
Last Activity: 01.07.2012
Description
We have created an eco camp in the jungle in Venezuela.
After building different lodges in the Delta we decided we wanted to
take the initiative to create something different
We have built a small camp which offers a more environment-friendly alternative for visiting the Delta.
We employ the local Warao, so they do not longer have to traffic wild animals or log trees to earn their living and create a nursery for the endangered redwood. By visiting their communities, we encourage them to sell their handycrafts to have an additional income and the excursions are carefully planned, that they cause minimum damage to the forest. You will be actively involved in replanting the trees through our nursery program. This way, you can experience this special environment without leaving too big foot prints.
A week ago we bought a small farm and we would like to start organic farming. You are welcome to help out in this project.
We are loking forward to welcome you at our Eco Camp, and hope that you can participate in this unique project.

We spent 10 great days at the EcoCamp, helping with cooking, cleaning, changing sheets, translating, and working on the farm. Every day was a new experience. The accomodations were excellent and the staff was friendly, easy-going, and helpful.
The food was good (especially the bread), but vegetarians will have fewer choices.
Overall it was more
