I truly had the best experience at the lodge. Everyone was super welcoming and nice and it felt like being added to a small family for a while. The place is gorgeous, with an amazing view and even little monkeys coming over to visit once in a while! It's a great place to relax but also offers various tours that I could join for free, so it never really got boring there. Besides that, the workhours were super relaxed and the work very easy. I also had a room to myself with my own bathroom! All in all I can recommend this place for everyone, it's truly a once in a lifetime experience.

I spent 2.5 weeks here I enjoyed myself! The work consisted of cleaning common areas for guests (sweeping floors, wiping down tables, and fixing the sofa and chair cushions), serving breakfast/lunch/dinner to guests, and stocking the tea and coffee bar. The work is simple and easy. I was able to go on all the tours offered. I felt welcomed by the other volunteers and staff. It is in a beautiful location and you feel immersed in nature. The lodge is small and there was never more than 12 guests.

Volunteering at the lodge was incredible - expect to give a lot but also receive a lot. The work involves simple tasks like preparing, serving, and washing dishes for about two hours per meal (6h/day) when guests are present. Volunteers here enjoy great benefits: comfortable rooms, the same food as guests, and access to the kitchen. During your break time you can join guest activities and explore the lodge. The sense of community you built here is strong, and I miss my fellow volunteers: Domenica, Juan, Jordi, and Enrique! I am so happy to have lived this jungle experience! Thanks Agustin

An amazing experience. The work was generally easy and I had lots of time off. The lodge is beautiful and very peaceful. I had my own private room/bathroom with a fabulous view of the rainforest. Augustin is a very caring and attentive boss and the other staff are also very kind and keen to get to know and support the volunteers. The tours are great fun and give you an opportunity to see more of the rainforest and learn about the Kichwa culture. The food was incredible and they cater well for any dietary requirements. I loved my time here, just sad it had to end. 100% recommend. Thanks the lodge!

My experience in the lodge was incredible! The place is so beautiful and the people make it even better. It was very fulfilling to be working around such a good staff, I learned so much. To make friendships with people from all around the world, from staff to guests have been great, the tours offered are very fun, I enjoyed a lot my time there.

Definitely recommend, the lodge will forever be in my heart. I made some amazing memories there. Agustin and all the team made us feel at home while being in direct contact with the jungle. The work can be harder when the lodge is full (nothing crazy though) but they always called more people in so that nobody overworked and felt bad working there. The main chores are cleaning the commons area, helping with the service of food and washing dishes. If there's space on the boat and time we were always welcome to join the activities in the morning and afternoon.

An amazing experience! We spent a month there and it was terrific. Agustin kept in mind busy/ low times so he arranged enough staff/ volunteers to don't overworked anyone. Task are easy: cleaning, welcome guests, serve meals and sometimes translate on tours. As we are cooks we helped also in the kitchen learning new recipes and cooking with new ingredients for us. All the staff is nice and welcoming. Feels a bit sad to leave since we got such a nice group with the staff and volunteers to hang out with but very grateful for the opportunity ☺️.

My experience at the lodge was unforgettable. I had the opportunity to learn about the local culture and also the fauna and flora. The host offers daily the lodge tours that are simply fascinating. The meals served are delicious. And I was lucky enough to have a suite room all to myself. Honestly the benefits this host offers are better than a volunteer could ask for. There were some days with bigger clientele that I worked more than expected but it is acceptable taking into account the benefits granted by the host. Gracias Agustín, Beto, Indira, Sindy, Diana e Roberth por todo ❤️

I had an incredible experience volunteering at the lodge. The team is wonderful and the Lodge is surrounded by nature and animals. One of my favorite part was helping with translation at the tours that take place 2 times a day. My Spanish improved by a lot and I learned so much about the rainforest, different plants and their functions, animals and the Kichwa culture. Besides the tours are fun and diverse. Since the lodge is quite small the contact to the tourists is very personal which creates a great atmosphere. Food is amazing and there is a lot to explore as well as the option to relax.
