Really pleasant stay at Nelson's and his family, very nice persons, flexible, accomodating and interesting ! Thanks to the location of the house, i could relax, connect with nature, and learn more of the culture in this peruvian pueblo. Moreover, the work i did was not painful at all, i enjoyed it, so i recommand this experience :) Thanks to them !

I had really good experience while I was volunteering, the tasks are really simple. For example: helping with the lamas, working at a small field of vegetables, bringing wood from the forest to the family house. I think it's simple and nice for one week to chill and get to know a little bit with the community and the culture.

Tasks were light and diverse, one day I was taking care of llamas, another one I was assisting in the garden or storing wood in a shelter. I could easily talk to Nelson and his family members, and I've learnt a lot about their day-to-day lives and costumes. Due to the political situation and demonstrations, I was the only worldpacker in there, but I could meet other foreigners when trekking or exploring the city. Food tastes good and you can have as much as you want, you'll take care of your own utensils. The bedroom is clean and I had enough space to study and work in there in my free time.

If you want to have a real Peruvian experience this is the place. Work hours are easy: working in the morning and you get your afternoon off. Perfect for hiking to the Lagunas near the house. Nelson is a really nice person, always willing to help you for both organisation of the following days but also to know the surroundings. Unfortunately he was usually working at another place and I was under his mother's charge. Even if they are thankful to you for what you did, I had the impression that they don't really need your help and that they're doing this for having another source of income.

It's an interesting experience. More like an accommodation with a cultural exchange I'd say. It's a big nice family, everyone has many things to do and sometimes you can help them and interact. You won't have an actual schedule it just depends on what is happening that day. It can be a advantage because there is so many trekkings to do around. You will be under a local family rules in all terms, food, manners, showers… everything. You will learn a lot :)
