GVI runs rainforest expeditions that take volunteers to witness the incredible wildlife and beauty of the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest or the lowland rainforest of Costa Rica.

You get to be much more than a tourist, actually getting to know the rainforest’s local communities whilst you help to preserve the vanishing natural resource that is their home.
