Gaia Amazon EcoLodge and Spanish School
GAIA lodge and Spanish school is a small venture located in the Amazon Rainforest, one of the most beautiful and bio diverse areas of the world. Our goal is to offer great services in a familiar atmosphere. Our services, activities and tours are designed to offer a complete immersion in the nature and culture of the Amazon Rainforest. All participants can be part of our staff, and benefits our services at the same time, such as spanish courses, activities and tours.
Being the owner, I am flexible and friendly person always ready to support my staff. I maintain friendly relationships with every person involved in GAIA as well as the indigenous communities living nearby. Most of our staff is native indigenous that speaks Kichwa and Spanish. They are welcoming and friendly people always open to learn new things. Our volunteers can expect to be treated with respect and kindness in a friendly atmosphere. Be sure that we'll also take a good care of your safety and comfort, we reseve tourists and students, so everything is thought to make them (and volunteers) feeling at home.

About the experience in: Ahuano, Ecuador

Experiencia recomendada 100%, donde he podido conectar con la naturaleza y compartir momentos muy agradables junto al Staff. A parte del trabajo diario, tuve tiempo libre para conocer los rincones de la zona junto a los guias. Por ultimo, destacar que conoci personas de diferentes partes del mundo, ya que el turismo es muy variado aqui. Me costo mucho irme, sin duda, es un lugar al que volver.

My experience in Gaia Lodge was incredible! The place is so beautiful and the people make it even better. It was very fulfilling to be working around such a good staff, I learned so much. To make friendships with people from all around the world, from staff to guests have been great, the tours offered are very fun, I enjoyed a lot my time there.

Mi experiencia en GAIA ha sido suuuper enriquecedora, tanto Agustín como Beto están muy pendientes de que los voluntarios estemos agusto. Además siempre hay más voluntarios y eso está guay para conocer otra gente :).
He aprendido mucho, he comido increíblemente bien y los tours me han encantado, te permiten conocer muy bien la zona.
Lo único malo son los mosquitos y demás bichos…pero es lo que hay en la selva 😅

Definitely recommend, Gaia lodge will forever be in my heart. I made some amazing memories there.
Agustin and all the team made us feel at home while being in direct contact with the jungle.
The work can be harder when the lodge is full (nothing crazy though) but they always called more people in so that nobody overworked and felt bad working there.
The main chores are cleaning the commons area, helping with the service of food and washing dishes.
If there's space on the boat and time we were always welcome to join the activities in the morning and afternoon.

An amazing experience! We spent a month there and it was terrific. Agustin kept in mind busy/ low times so he arranged enough staff/ volunteers to don't overworked anyone. Task are easy: cleaning, welcome guests, serve meals and sometimes translate on tours. As we are cooks we helped also in the kitchen learning new recipes and cooking with new ingredients for us. All the staff is nice and welcoming. Feels a bit sad to leave since we got such a nice group with the staff and volunteers to hang out with but very grateful for the opportunity ☺️.
