My classes in Cochabamba finished today and I will leave the city at 7 30 am tomorrow morning. I am headed to Parque Machia in Villa Tunari to volunteer at an animal refuge. I am not really known as an animal person and this choice may seem rather odd but every traveller I have encountered who has been there says that it was the highlight of their trip.
The animals at the park are all animals that have been rescued from abusive situations and are being recuperated to be re-released into the wild or to be given a more pleasant life. The volunteers are responsible for taking care of a specific animal. One just might find oneself lucky enough to be incharge of a Puma or a Jaguar!
More information about the park can be found at their website: http://www.intiwarayassi.org/home.shtml
