We are a project of EcoBarrio, a community eco-neighborhood in Arequipa, Peru (on the outskirts of the city). We share all daily tasks, such as meal preparation, organizing, caring for plants, bioconstruction, etc. We are also open to starting new projects with the volunteers' skills and enthusiasm, such as artistic projects, ecological projects, or bioconstruction. Come be part of the family!

We had such a great time in the project. The place is in the middle of a desert, it's the perfect to reconnect with nature and learn a lot about living in communities. We also could build house using bio construction, very interesting!
Santi and Lili are very nice hosts and amazing to learn more about Peruvian culture. I really recommend this place and volunteering.

Incredible. My time at the project was amazing, the tasks, people, environment and vibes are all very good. There the day usually starts at 8am with break fast. After that we did a seassion of stretching before starting the work. The tasks vary almost everyday based on the needs, they range from helping in the garden, helping with bioconstrucrion, general maintanace and repairing stuff. You get to choose what to do. Worth noting that they recieve a lot of volunteers :) Another highlight is Santi, he is such a good a kind person, I learned a lot from him. Thank tou for everything my friend!

Had a good time at the project! The days are very calm and usually consist of 3h of work, then lunch and free time. The work is different, and usually not very hard. Sometimes I would have liked more hands on instructions and more tools for the work, but usually you can figure It out together. It was a great community with all of the other volonteers and fun to meet people from around the world. It's located a bit far from the town so you mostly just stay there for the free time, but if you need to go into town for errands, Santi is super helpful and will take you.

Our volunteering experience was fun and chill. We learned a lot about living in a community and there was access to a lot of tasty food. It was very cosy to cook and eat together with the other volunteers and we got a lot of free time to enjoy the beautiful views, the pool and play games. Although it sometimes felt a bit isolating because it's hard to get to La Joya by yourself, Santiago went into town regularly so it is possible to get a ride. The work was pretty chill and flexible but sometimes the instructions were a bit unclear. Besides this it was a great experience. Thank you⭐️
