Like South America? Like wildlife? Like water? Then we've got a great new trip for you! This week we've unveiled Marine conservation in Ecuador, where you'll be working with sharks, turtles, birds and all manner of exotic marine life!

Not only will you be based in the stunning fishing town of Peurto Lopez, you'll also be helping out at the only Ecuadorian marine centre that brings together communities, organisations and institutions to look after the local waters and their inhabitants!

You can lend a hand at an array of projects including working with turtles, sharks, manta-rays, whales, sea birds, or assisting with coral reef projects and field research! Plus when you need a break from the animals you can put your new marine expertise to good use planning lessons and increasing local awareness of the programmes!
