We had a fab week stay! The family made us feel so welcome, giving us time to explore the local area and traditions, being patient with our beginner Spanish and catering for us as vegetarians. Luckily for us, it was carnival, so we assisted with the family's preparations and were brought along to celebrations held by their friends/family. We learnt so much about their culture and felt welcomed by the community. We were always encouraged to rest after working and liked that the sleeping/resting space was separate from the family house which gave us privacy. ¡Muchisimo gracias!

I had a really great time staying with Nelson and his family. The area is beautiful and there are good hiking and camping opportunities in the mountains. I got to practice my spanish and hear a lot about the lives and traditions of the people. Its a place to enjoy the mountains and the culture of the andian people. Regarding work and tasks it's very flexible and there are options of both relaxing and working as it is mostly up to you how you spend your stay.

If you want to immerse yourself with a Quechua family for a week in the Andes, I recommend this experience. The family was generous with their knowledge and patient with my questions. Be prepared for rustic living conditions and in return you can more deeply appreciate the history and customs of the region. Work included groundskeeping at the neighboring ruins, gathering wood for the stove, and feeding the pigs. In your free afternoons or days off there is amazing hiking right in your backyard. My Spanish improved and I got to meet other amazing volunteers from all over the world.
