La casa de la permacultura
Our property is really wild, that means you will live in a zoo without fences. There are monkeys living on the property you will see exotic birds and much more... You will learn how to cook Peruvian dishes and how to grow plants for eating. There are many trees like lime-trees, banana-palms and avocado-trees.
We are an open-minded team which is interested in learning new things and getting to know other cultures. Our aim of the project is to preserve the flora and fauna and also to live as sustainably as possible. Please consider that life is really easy here on the farm which means there are a lot of bugs and you will get definitely out of your comfort zone.

About the experience in: Oxapampa Province, Peru
France
I stayed a little over 10 days volunteering at the end of my trip in Latin America, and it was great; I really recommend it! Diego is very welcoming, he taught me a lot and we planted all kinds of fruits and vegetables. He also really enjoys cooking Peruvian dishes, and I was able to help him daily. I was also with another volunteer, it was a very good experience. Oxapampa is a very cute village to visit and I had the opportunity to go to the nearby national park during my day off, it's magnificent!

Great week at the project, Diego is very flexible, easy to speak with and open. He gave us the toor of the city and natural park nearby. I learned a lot about the local plantes, fruits and vegetables through working, walking at the market/in nature and cooking, which is a big part of the daily activities !

Diego, Jorge, and the entire team were incredibly kind and welcoming. They always made sure I felt comfortable and part of the group. The volunteer project was a lot of fun. We worked on a wooden house, planted various plants, and even made our own lemonade. Oxapampa is such a beautiful and peaceful place, surrounded by amazing nature. Diego cooked delicious meals every single day, and overall, the experience made me feel truly connected to nature. I felt very welcomed and would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a meaningful and authentic experience.
