I had a mixed experience. Nelson was wonderful, always offering to take me around and helping with whatever I needed. The work was not hard, but I felt like they were trying to come up with tasks to fill my time. I had fun getting to know members of the community, especially the kids. The food was plentiful but not very nutritious, lacking in protein and vegetables. I had a couple of uncomfortable experiences with Nelson's family. His brother hit on me and breached some physical boundaries, and his mother seemed to be watching me and other guests through the security camera.

Nelson is very kind person with lots of knowledge. I worked mostly with his brother in the garden with plants. They are both very chill, respectful of nature and talkative people. The place is on the mountains in nature close to a lake and around 40 minutes with the bus from Huaraz.

I definitely enjoyed my experience here! If you are someone who wants to experience culture, live in a true andian town, and learn about traditional teachings and beliefs this place is perfect! You are surrounded by BEAUTIFUL mountains, working hours are respected, and Nelson is a very kind and hospitable guy! The food is simple but you always get PLENTY and the accommodation is very nice! I even got to experience a San Pedro ceremony! Being the only volunteer and someone who doesn't know alot of Spanish made days a bit lonely... however if there were more people it would be a 5/5 experience☮

Volunteering at the lodgewas such a unique experience! You are very immersed into the daily life of the family which provides an excellent opportunity to learn about their culture. A holiday occurred during my volunteer stay and the family made sure I understood their traditions and included me. We made pizza from scratch and after cooking it in the pizza oven we shared with the neighbors. The food is usually simple but tastes good and there's plenty to eat. Nelson was a lovely host and I enjoyed meeting all his family. I was able to improve my Spanish a lot with help from the family!
