Santa Lucía has a well established volunteering programme. Following on from our highly successful reforestation programme we are looking for volunteers to help with planting the endangered trees canelo and cedro; also for help with conservation monitoring, trail maintenance, agroforestry (coffee, sugar cane and bananas,) organic gardening, English teaching, environmental education and after school enrichment programmes.

Santa Lucía Cloudforest Reserve and Ecolodge are in the foothills of the Andes in northwestern Ecuador, in the Choco Bioregion which is considered a ‘hotspot' for biodiversity. Community-owned and community-run, Santa Lucía is committed to conservation, responsible ecotourism and sustainable development.
