Descripción:
Torewa is a jungle community situated in Madidi National Park in Bolivia. Located 3 hours upstream from Rurrenabaque on the Beni River, Torewa is a community of 12 families originally from Apolo who fully live off the land. Everything in Torewa is about nature. The community is surrounded by rivers and a pristine forest full of birds and mammals.
To help sustain their way of life and culture, Torewa is seeking volunteers to assist with the development of a sustainable ecotourism project. The vision of the project is to provide an affordable and real jungle experience for travellers in Bolivia. Unlike other ecolodges in Madidi that cater towards older, wealthier individuals, Torewa will provide an authentic and affordable jungle experience, where visitors can live among a real jungle community (anticipated project launch date: January 2009).
Torewa is a very warm, open and friendly community of people who are eager to welcome volunteers to their homes and their way of life. This is an exciting opportunity to help build a very promising ecotourism project that will solely benefit the inhabitants of the community in the form of improved and much needed access to health care and education. This is a great opportunity to live with a real jungle community while making a difference.
