Service Projects
-
Through our partnership with Amazon Explorama Lodges, tourist guests often look for ways to “make a difference” during their vacation travel.
-
CONAPAC facilitates this work in river villages on one-day service projects which include building playgrounds, latrines, community gazebos, painting schools, planting trees, and building bridges and fences.
-
Visitors provide funding for supplies and then work hand-in-hand with community members to make these environmentallyfriendly projects possible.
-
The objective of the service project is to help villagers as they
improve their lives for themselves and their children while living in harmony with their environment.
-
The shared experience is mutually beneficial and fun for all! Working together helps build interest in rural populations and allows for social/cultural exchanges as a unique tourist experience--one that builds cooperation between communities, individuals, families, and tourist enterprises.
-
Tourist guest participation and hard work bring many smiles to the
children of the rainforest while most visitors depart with the feeling that it was the best part of their trip!
CONAPAC is a Peruvian non-profit organization whose mission is to promote conservation of the rainforest through education of its stewards, the people who live along the Amazon and Napo Rivers. Our centerpiece project is the Adopt-A-School program, which is strengthened by workshops and complemented by service and sustainable projects in river communities.
