Join us as a Volunteer

​Join us to help and learn more about the most diverse and largest rainforest in the world. Come to work and live close to nature. We promise you, it will be the adventure of your life. 

Everybody is welcome
​We make research and conservation available for everyone. Don´t be afraid of helping in a biological station, of course we work very seriously but we believe that everyone can contribute in a certain way. Come and discover this beautiful forest and the working in the field. Volunteers will help with the main projects and activities. Activities include maintaining the conservation area, wildlife monitoring (e.g. behavioral studies, camera trapping, mammal transects, pitfall traps, phenology study), habitat evaluation (vegetation plots), assisting researchers and other activities to maintain the station.

Since 2018, we've maintained our prices to make them more accessible to everyone. But in 2026, with so many changes, we've had to adjust our prices to meet our conservation goals. However, our proposal remains significantly lower compared to similar projects in the area. The quality and experience remain unmatched. Furthermore, we have improved facilities and a highly qualified staff.
