BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

This volunteer program is one of the best things I've done in my life.
Finding an ethical centre in Bolivia can be hard, as wildlife trafficking is a huge issue in Bolivia. But CIWY definitely has it all. They are not open to tourism to ensure the wellbeing of the animals. Enclosures are far, deep in the jungle, so the animals are as close to their natural habitat as possible. I visited other places where enclosures were too close together, which could stress the animals, but not at CIWY. I volunteered in Ambue Ari and Jacj Cuisi. Also participated in educational campaigns. They have a lot of returning volunteers as well, which speaks greatly about this place.
Most of the time is spent taking care of the animals, feeding, providing enrichment, and monitoring their wellbeing. The rest is spent in a perfect jungle environment. Rest days are amazing as well, as volunteers go to the nearby lagoons and do some groceries in town. The staff is amazing, from the coordinators to the administrators! Everyone there has the single mission of improving the wildlife wellbeing, showing that places do not need to be packed with tourists that stress out the animals.
