FAMILY VOLUNTEERING

Program is open all year round.

Bring your family to any of the 4 amazing regions of Ecuador: Amazon, Andes, Coast and the Galapagos Islands.

Lead Adventures offers the opportunity for you to bond as a family whilst combining volunteer work with adventure travel or tours. Help street children, schools, animal rescue centers, a Galapagos GiantTortoise Breeding Center, coach sports and more. You can combine one week at one project and the next in another one so you experience more of the amazing country of Ecuador. 

You can customize your trip! These are a few examples of the places you can visit:

* Baños is located on the northern foothills of the Tungurahua volcano. It is named after the hydrothermal springs of mineral water located around the city. Baños is full of adventure activities, including the Manto de la Virgen waterfall, ride a horse in the hills around the town, walk, hike or climb the surrounding trails and the volcano, mountain bike the breathtaking scenic road to Puyo or raft on one of the nearby rivers.

* Visit the Galapagos Islands and Island Hop! Start at Espanola Island and enjoy natural wonder after natural wonder, from the immense blowhole, to the thousands of nesting blue-footed boobies, to the world's largest waved albatross colony. Continue to Floreana Island and see flamingos! Enjoy Black Tortuga Bay on Sta. Cruz and witness a mangrove maze chock full of sharks, rays and sea turtles.

* In Quito: The Teleferico takes visitors almost to the top of the Volcano Pichincha. It is worth putting aside a few hours for the trip, and day or nighttime is equally interesting. The cable cars will take you up to almost 14,000 feet and the views are stunning.
