Volunteer in the Galápagos Islands on San Cristobal Island, located on the east side. It has 7,000 inhabitants. The island has its own enchanted with a restored airport. Volunteers will be met at San Cristobal airport by the program coordinator and go to the project by car. A great opportunity to get to the Galápagos Islands on a budget.
A great conservation project
The farm has 7 hectares, it is located in the highlands of the island site and belongs to three brothers, where there is still native vegetation. The remaining native highland forests on the populated islands are quite limited due to farming activities in general, and the introduction of useful, but very invasive, species from the mainland.
Therefore, the farm is trying to conserve their native vegetation and reverse the negative effects of invasive or introduced species, restoring the native and endemic forests! Volunteer in the Galápagos Islands in our beautiful project.
Life in Galápagos
The House: The volunteer’s house has 6 bedrooms, with 3 bathrooms and 2 showers with hot water outside the house. Volunteers share bedrooms with 4 people. The farm provides cleaning and maintenance supplies for the house. However, volunteers are responsible for toiletries (bath towels, toilet paper, soap) and extra drinks. You will receive three meals a day on the farm from local staff, and varied and nutritional food. Be Volunteer in the Galápagos Islands in our great conservation project.
Volunteers usually work for five days each week in the morning, with weekends off. Afternoons are free to go to the port, visit the beach, etc. Evenings are quiet and frequently spent chatting, listening to music, writing in your journal or reading. Sometimes you will find that you are one of only two or three volunteers. At other times, however, there will be large groups, so be prepared for variety in the people you will meet and work with.
Tasks during your stay in the Galápagos
Volunteers work in a controlled plot of land to eliminate introduced / invasive plant species and restore native and endemic species, and then transplant them to their permanent locations. Volunteers also assist in community projects, such as installing a water pipeline for the local community (if you are in a short term, probably you won’t be working or depending on the community needs). Jose, the in charge of the project, is always on-hand for assistance and guidance in our great project where you’ll be Volunteer in the Galápagos Islands.
