Our programs bring people to the Amazon to work with local farmers, individuals, associations, organizations, and government institutions and support on-going projects. We offer a variety of customized experiences, from short-term student and group programs to internships that last from one to six months.
Our goal is to foster cross-cultural communication skills, create positive local and global impact, and contribute to the preservation of local cultures and the conservation of the forest.
