Mystical and, at the least, intriguing, Iquitos attracts the eyes of everyone who knows it more closely. With a population of 400,000 people, the city draws attention for being quite rustic and for being a constant invitation to adventurers on duty. It’s impossible not to surrender to the transformations of scenarios so conflicting with each other. In order to reach the capital of the Peruvian Amazon, you will see rivers, a tropical forest and, suddenly, a maze of sometimes bumpy streets. The region is a port and has access only by water or air. Being a little more isolated, Iquitos has simpler communities, which live along the river, and need greater contact with other cultures and customs. It is certainly a very good place to teach and learn new habits and lifestyles.

ABOUT IQUITOS, PERU
PROJECT DETAILS
We work alongside communities and families to help promote social change and impact by working together.
Our volunteers work in schools, orphanages or in a medical center, and your placement will depend on the number of volunteers working at the time. You will help to improve the conditions of families living in depressed areas. The tasks of the project may vary depending on the current need of the community and feasibility based on the number of volunteers. You will see the smiles and happiness of the benefited families and will be reminded of it for the rest of your life. There are no words to describe the happiness of a community after seeing the final work of the painting and renovation.
