Area: Inside Madidi National Park

Option 1. Torewa is an indigenous community of Quechua-Lecos indians that is located in the heart of Madidi National Park in Bolivia, surrounded by a million and a half hectares of protected Amazon rainforest. We offer a very unique type of community volunteering where you can stay from two weeks to two months in one of the largest protected Amazon regions in the world. Animal encounters here are surely beyond what may be experienced in other areas and reserves of smaller size. This is a unique possibility to travel deep inside the Amazon to one of it's largest and best preserved areas and volunteer in a true isolated indigenous community. surrounded by endles extyensions of untouched primary tropical Amazon rainfroest.There is no electricity, running water, or any services whatsoever. This is not the type of easy volunteering for people that search free lodging and food. This is an once in a lifetime nature experience that is waiting for only but a few. To come here you are asked to bring food supplies,and transportation is difficult since you need to either hire a shuttle boat or wait for some days for a boat to take you there. Speaking some spanish is required. Option 2. Working in a tour agency in the town of Rurrenabaque that offers tours to madidi national park.

Area: Asturias

Janet and John live in Asturias. We are now at the end of our fifth year of so called retirement here and love it. This is definitely not the Costas! We live in Valdes in Asturias….. a county of rugged coasts with super ( but often stony) beaches. The interior (where we live at 270 meters high in the hills and 30 minutes from the nearest beach) is largely mixed forest of sweet chestnut, oak, ash and beech with plantations of northern pine and eucalyptus. The valley bottoms and tops are mainly green pasture for cattle grazing or silage with flatter fields with maize for cattle. It is beautiful – a lake district without the lakes and without the crowds. Weather – This is green Spain so we have clouds and rain. The temperature is higher than the south of England – a greater noticeable difference in the back part of the year. When we bought our house we wanted a house with some land to grow veggies on. We ended up with two houses (one “the barn” had no floor and was only home to spiders and cobwebs – we called it the barn because it was the oldest and still had the cattle feeding stalls), a traditional Horeo, 5 fincas (fields - one with a small maize mill – not functioning) and two Montes (bits of hillside with lots of trees on.) Thank goodness three of our neighbours keep most of the fields clean by grazing cattle, sheep and growing grass, so I am left with only the finca (6500 m2 )below the house to look after. We have six chickens and two dogs (and a cat that adopted us). During the year we grow most of our own vegetables. John does most of the work on the land while Janet writes and directs two musical shows a year for her group of performers back in England
