Help a small Kichwa community to preserve 53 000 hectares of primary rainforest on the remotest volunteer expedition in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The expedition provides the chance to see, photograph and study some of the rarest and most cryptic wildlife in the Amazon, such as Anacondas, Jaguar, River Dolphins and Spider Monkeys, while improving the lives of the indigenous community.
Pavacachi is a remote Kichwa community in the Amazon Basin in Ecuador. It lies on the Curaray River, a tributary of the Amazon, 180km east of Puyo, the nearest town at the base of the Andes Mountains. The only way to access the area is by light aircraft or a 7 day hike and canoe ride! The area contains some of the highest diversity of plant and animal species anywhere in the world. Pavacachi borders Yasuni National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Area, recognised as one of the world's ‘biodiversity hotspots'.
