Volunteer at Orinoco Delta Lodge Venezuela
Description
We are a jungle lodge in north-eastern Venezuela, at the limits of the incredible Delta Del Orinoco national park. We offer travellers from around the world the opportunity to experience one of the natural wonders of South America: the majestic Orinoco River and its incredible Delta, home to one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and land of the ancient Warao indigenous tribe. This unmatched location, with its rich culture and vibrant nature, offers a unique setting for a great adventure.
Work activities can vary but are not limited to the following: bartending, tour guiding, housekeeping, painting, gardening, and animal care (we have a parrot, 4 dogs, and 2 cats).

Cost:
The project is free and includes accommodation and three meals a day. Meals are usually based on: rice, eggs, cornflour, cheese, plantains, black or kidney beans, and vegetables. We occasionally serve chicken, meat, and fish. We can adapt to your diet as long as it is reasonably within our capabilities and budget. We provide you with a private cabin in our garden with a private bathroom. You will occasionally have to share your cabin with other team members of the same gender if space becomes limited. Sharing will be for a maximum of 1 to 3 nights at a time. You will have your own space almost 100% of the time, as it is very rare that space will become limited.
Other information:
You will be interacting with guests from all over Venezuela and the world. You will have plenty of free time to read, hang around in a hammock, take an afternoon or an early morning kayak ride. Life is slow in the Delta. This is a photographer's paradise. Great place for swimming and kayaking, and simply relaxing and enjoying nature. Satellite internet is available for a few hours every day, usually after 5 pm. It is not very fast, but it is enough to send emails, use WhatsApp, and light use of social media. Our staff are very friendly and has been working with volunteers for the last 6 years. Nature Lives Here.
