Meaningful Escape to the Jungle: Impactful travel to the Colombian amazon with Bucara Voluntours
Amazonas Community & Children Program
Experience life in an Indigenous Amazonian village while volunteering with children, assisting in daily community activities, and making a real contribution to education and cultural preservation.
What the Amazon Programme offers
How it works and what you can expect
01
Volunteering
As a volunteer, you will support daily learning activities at the “Casa de Todos,” located next to the local sports field. You will help children with their education beyond regular school subjects, with a strong focus on interactive and playful English lessons. You will also take part in sports, creative workshops, and traditional handicraft activities, supporting the children’s personal development, skills, and self-confidence while contributing to the preservation of Indigenous culture.
02
Activities
During your free time, you’ll have the chance to step away from the rush of everyday life and truly unwind in the heart of the Amazon. Share small jungle adventures with fellow volunteers, build meaningful friendships, and embrace a slower, more mindful way of living. Surrounded by dense rainforest, exotic plants, and incredible wildlife such as river dolphins, monkeys, and snakes, you’ll experience the Amazon not as a visitor, but as part of its natural rhythm.
03
Your Stay
The project is hosted and led by Guillermo, a member of the Tikuna Indigenous community, who welcomes volunteers not as guests, but as part of the family. You will sleep in a private room or share your room with another volunteer, and all meals will be daily prepared and are included in your package.
