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
Chile
Ha sido una muy linda experiencia, estar tan inmersa en la naturaleza me hizo sentir como en un retiro espiritual. Las tareas son sencillas, es básicamente como cuidar de tu propia casa pero más grande y salir en los tours para traducir es un agrado. Conocí muchísimo de la selva, los guías y Agus están siempre atentos a tus necesidades, se come muy rico, tuve mucho tiempo libre para tomar mis clases y trabajar online. Recomiendo 1000%!

About the experience in: Ahuano, Ecuador
United Kingdom
An amazing experience. The work was generally easy and I had lots of time off. The lodge is beautiful and very peaceful. I had my own private room/bathroom with a fabulous view of the rainforest. Augustin is a very caring and attentive boss and the other staff are also very kind and keen to get to know and support the volunteers. The tours are great fun and give you an opportunity to see more of the rainforest and learn about the Kichwa culture. The food was incredible and they cater well for any dietary requirements. I loved my time here, just sad it had to end. 100% recommend. Thanks Gaia!

Agustín es una persona increíble. Los horarios no son corridos entonces no tendrás una tarde o mañana libre. Se queda difícil si tengas otras actividades. Había veces que me pedían para crear contenido después de mis horas de voluntariado y eso no estaba en las funciones de la vacante. Equipe un poco alejada. Los tours que puede ir son geniales y la comida es muy buena. Fue buena experiencia en general.

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.
