Travel and Length of stay Travel arrangements are your responsibility as a volunteer. You must have a current passport. A visa is not necessary if your stay is less than ninety days. Generally, it's best to fly to Quito and travel by car to one of our volunteer housing areas. We will provide transportation to and from the project site, however you are responsible for any other travel costs during your stay. Public buses are available within a one to two hour walk. Coordination with the Reserve's Administration needs to be made to arrange for car rides. Two options on the costs and facilities in Quito are described below in the "Lodging" section. To receive the best out of your experience as a volunteer, we find it necessary that you stay at least 30 days. However, some projects require a longer minimum length of stay. More information on minimum length of stay is included in the "Available Projects" section of this manual. If you decide to stay longer while you are here, we can arrange to expand your time with us. The maximum time of stay is unlimited.
