Fundo Ecolรณgico Tamborapa
Volunteer activities on an eco coffee farm plantation site. – We know that life in cities is stressful and hard. Every single day we have got to deal with noise, bad mood, traffic, problems and many similar things. This is the main reason we are always trying to disconnect from this reality and take a deep breath as well as recharge energies.
We offer you the chance to escape from this situation while you are helping us with a familiar project we have got in the northern rainforest of Peru.
Updated April 2022
