Sumak Allpa is a non-profit foundation based in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador.
We are working to expand our ability to preserve and support endangered indigenous peoples and their culture, language, and traditional way of life in the Ecuadorian Amazon region.
We are also dedicated to restoring the environmental health of the seriously degraded jungle ecosystem and the wildlife that depend on it.
Please explore our website to learn more about our work and the ways you can support us. We are currently seeking direct volunteers for our projects.
