About the experience in: Tarapoto, Peru
Canada
I had a wonderful experience at the lodge! I stayed for two weeks painting and sharing my art and from the moment I arrived I felt genuinely welcomed. Louis is an amazing soul he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and helped me feel at home in tarapoto. He took the time to show me around the city and area which made this experience extra special! The environment was calm and peaceful and the hotel is beautiful. This was such a meaningful and memorable experience. <3

My experience volunteering at the accommodation was very good. Luis, the host, was kind and always respected the hours set for volunteering. The breakfasts were very tasty, the hotel is nice and they assigned me a private room, which made the stay quite comfortable. Overall, it's a place worth recommending for those seeking a calm and pleasant experience on the route 🍃

I spent a week at the Ecolodge and it was beautiful. The place is in Laguna Azul, about two hours from Tarapoto and 20 minutes by boat; they coordinated our transfer very well. It is an ideal space to connect with nature, as there is little signal and Internet. Luis was clear in explaining the tasks to us, and the work allowed us to enjoy the facilities and activities, such as kayaking in the lagoon. The hotel staff was respectful and kind; I would have liked to have a little more cultural exchange and learn more about local life, the flora and fauna of the place.

Hello Barbi, the team still has a training program; you’ll understand that they still don’t fully master jungle knowledge. They’re following a training plan for it, and it requires understanding and good vibes.
Regarding the lock, no one told me about it, since at the time the change could be made. If no one provided a solution at the moment, you should have escalated it to me.
Thanks for everything and good luck on your path!

The lodging is a beautiful place, we went to the one located by the Blue Lagoon. It is a place with very low internet signal, which really led me to disconnect, relax, and set aside my other jobs. The tasks were crystal clear and fun, not tedious at all; they allowed us to take full advantage of all the facilities and several activities and games that the lodge offers. I would have liked to share with more people since it was my first volunteering experience and the hosts were quite shy or were focused on their activities. Nevertheless they were always kind and helpful.

Mi experiencia tanto en el hotel como en el Eco Lodge fue increíble! Luis y el personal que trabaja allí hicieron que la experiencia sea muy amena. Los horarios y tareas pactadas fueron respetadas, la habitación muy cómoda y la alimentación muy buena. En los días de descanso u horas libres hay muchas actividades por hacer y lugares para conocer, fue muy divertido y la recomiendo al 100% 🙌🏼
