Wilcahuain Is a perfecto place for self reflexión and to get away from the bustle of city life. Nelson Is a great help if you want to do the laguna hikes or anything in the surrounding área. The Cultures exposed áre beautiful and the things you can learn with Christian áre just mindblowing. He knows alot about the nature of the land, vegetación and properties surrounding Him. Highly reccommend! Learn Alot and do fun work In a wonderful environment.

My stay at the lodgewas amazing! Nelson and his family really make you feel at home by sharing everything, from food to stories. You really get to know a little bit more about Peruvian and Inka culture with them. Unfortunately, I didn't stay long enough to learn Quechua or to do social media work, but everything I've learned while with them was incredible. Nelson is an amazing guy, always willing to help and flexibilize the work hours so you get to know the surroundings. It's a really worthy experience. Brother, when in Brazil, don't hesitate do let me know. Un abrazo!

YOU HAVE TO PAY 5 DOLLARS PER DAY. KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU GO. IT'S NOT WRITTEN. The place seemed great but as i soon as i stepped there they wanted to charge me 5 dollars per night, even though nothing was written in the description. I've tried to talk to them and explain the situation but they've just said everybody who goes there know about the tax. I've also tried to contact WorldPackers but they didn't do anything as well. At the end, I had to find somewhere else to volunteer in the city because i didn't have the money to pay them.

I had a really great time with Nelson and his entire beautiful family!! They're very walm and welcoming and really eager to share they're culture with anybody who wants to learn. This is a great way to get a real look into Peruvian. Hours are easy, you work in the morning and have the afternoon off. Tasks change depending on what they need doing, construction, planting, general labour. Mountains are incredibly beautiful! Amenities are basic, there's no hot water or internet, and it's quite cold where they have dinner, outside. Please keep that in mind. Food is simple but good.

The lodgeis a perfect place if you are looking for a real peruvian experience. The owner, Nelson, is a really nice guy that wants you to feel welcome and help you get to know the surroundings. He even let you have flexible hours so that you can do trekkings. the lodgeis close to the entrance of some trekkings (Laguna Ahuac) and is an unique experience in Huaraz. But have in mind that you wont have some comforts that you would when staying at the city center. There is no hot water, no wifi, and the food is very simple. They do San Pedro ceremonies, but it costs 175 soles each. Recommended!

La familia me acogio desde el primer dia, y siempre estuvieron atentos hacia mi persona. Gracias! Nelson y Cristian siempre estan super felices y con ganas de ayudar. Las tareas son variables todos los dias y depende de la capacidad de cada persona para hacer trabajos mas pesados si son necesarios. El lugar es muy tranquilo y se tiene la libertad de poder explorar el lugar, hay miradores, lagunas y mucha montaña al rededor para conocer. Espero que puedan encontrar la comunidad que quieren crear!

Nelson é uma pessoa querida e wilcahuain é um lugar bonito com muita natureza ao redor. Infelizmente algumas coisas não funcionaram tão bem para mim, então não fiquei até o final do voluntariado e acabei indo para um hostel em Huaraz, na cidade.

Belle expérience humaine dans l'immersion d'une famille péruvienne ! Les tâches à accomplir sont faciles et j'ai adoré peindre le mur !

Mi estancia de una semana con Nelson y su familia en el alojamientoha sido muy bonita y gratificante. Más que un voluntariado al uso, es una inmersión cultural en una comunidad de Huaraz, en un entorno muy tranquilo, donde se aprende a valorar las pequeñas cosas. Las tareas principales fueron sencillas, ayudando a la familia en su día a día. Las comidas ricas y abundantes, con una mención especial a los tallarines de Nelson ;). Es una experiencia que te hace sumergirte en la cultura y costumbres de la gente de las montañas, viviendo la realidad más profunda de Perú. Gracias de nuevo familia!

¡Gracias a ti, Lidia! Todo ha sido realmente genial. Agradezco profundamente tu apoyo desde el primer día en Willka Lodge Homestay, tu flexibilidad con las fechas y tu disposición constante para colaborar en cada tarea.
Tu energía positiva, tu respeto y tu cariño —especialmente con mi sobrino— dejaron una huella muy bonita en nuestra familia y en el proyecto.
Te deseo lo mejor en tus próximos caminos. Aquí siempre tendrás un espacio abierto. ¡Gracias de corazón!

Una familia que te hace sentir como en casa. Willcahuain está en la montaña, si te gusta la montaña y la naturaleza un sitio que tienes que ir.
