My experience on the whole using lead adventures was a very positive one. I found them very friendly and helpful. The home stay I was placed in was brilliant. Maria was awesome to stay with and lots of fun. I felt that I got the most out of Quito, which I found a great place to learn Spanish.

The Amazon Rescue Centre was an amazing place to volunteer, the manager and local staff were very informative, helpful and friendly offering ample opportunities everyday to interact with the animals, through feeding, cleaning and caring. There are other curriculum activities like, maintenance, cage building and landscaping. Honestly it was really hard work, but incredibly rewarding and fun. No two days are the same & there is a great team ethos at the centre. This creates a really positive project and I can’t recommend this place enough.
