a small paradiseBest of IgoUgo

Overview

the name is inti wara yasi and it is located in vial tunari, a small village, 5 hours from cochabamba. the place is a non-profit project that tries to fight the fenomanon of bolivian people taking monkeys and birds out of the jungle. all of the people that work there are volunteers from all over the world (mostly europe and north america). no experience needed - just a love for animals. unlike many volunteering programs, in this one you don't have to pay for anything - just give your love and care to abused animals.
