The main house of la Cruz Verde in the jungle

Canoes are the main means of transport 🛶

Going to the indigenous community Carmen Florida

Me helping to cook in the community ✌️ we made yuca meat balls, it was delicious 😋

The children playing around the community

Apú and Anú🙈 don't like rain at all and would come cuddling in the blanket as soon as they got food

They still are young and need a lot of affection from us (as replacement for their mama)

Hiking and camping at the top of the mountain, what a view over the jungle, the pampas and the town

Our relaxing place on the roof (if there weren't the mosquitos 🦟😡)

Without electrictity this was our every evening candle light dinner playing a ware wolf game 🐺 🌙😅

1 week @ La Cruz Verde in the Amazon

6 kwietnia 2023, Boliwia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

La Cruz Verde is an animal protection project in the Bolivian Amazon founded only in 2020 by a Swiss ex hotel manager looking for a new purpose in life. Everything was built in only 2 years with the help of the volunteers and the indigenous community Carmen Florida. The mission is to free captivated wild animals or to rescue hurt animals in the jungle. Huge respect for the courage and the huge achievement of Frédéric (the Swiss founder) and Nico (a German living there for 15 years) for the animals.

In my volunteering week we had 2 young monkeys 🙊 and a baby parrot 🦜 to care for besides activities for the group like cooking and baking bread. One day I spent helping in the community and one night hiking and camping on the mountain with an incredible view. This experience was unique, even though in demanding conditions (heat, humidity, mud, no electricity and a loooot of mosquitos).

The green lung of our planet 🌏 is magic and you feel so connected to nature as in no other place on earth, I believe (that’s why I returned to the Amazon). The animals were amazing and give back so much love while we tried to teach them how to live and survive independently in the jungle. Apú and Anú, I will miss you 🙈!! Czytaj więcej
