The Experience

Nuestra casa de campo ( en la que te hospedaremos) es una casa histórica y típica oxapampina. La ciudad de Oxapampa fue fundada por Austro-alemanes hace 300 años, sus casas son distintivas tanto en la ciudad como en el campo. Por eso mismo ya está algo viejita y necesita renovación. Una lijada, pulida y pintada es lo que tenemos en mente! Nos ayudarías con eso mientras disfrutas de 20 hectáreas de pura naturaleza ;)

The experience was just wonderful. Bresly has such a beautiful soul and the love she puts in everything she does is just incredible. The location is pure peace for those visiting. We also met Bresly's family and they are so welcoming and lovely. I felt at home the all time. I truly recommend a stay here.

My experience with Bresly was absolutely wonderful! Her property is peaceful surrounded by many plants and animals, including her adorable bunny and cat. The work was enjoyable as I like gardening. Bresly taught me so much about the land, plants, birds, and gave great spanish lessons. She took me on many excursions so I was able to see many different areas of Oxapampa. I had plenty of time to relax, read, practice yoga and enjoy nature. I hope I can find myself back to this place in the future. 100% recommend this experience!

It was a really special experience at the reserve and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to connect with nature and learn about forestry, agriculture and caring for the environment around us. Bresly and her family are so welcoming and their love for nature is contagious! The excursions Bresly brings you on are great opportunities to listen and learn, and the work is well communicated and not difficult. It really is a beautiful place and I leave already wanting to return!

I had an amazing time with Bresly and our other two volunteers planting corn, picking limes and maintaining the property while leaving for daily excursions including bird watching, hiking and learning about permaculture and local reforestation efforts. Friendly and welcoming, her passion for ecology really shined through and was a top notch cook as well! On free days you can go on tours in Oxapampa which she was so helpful with coordinating. An amazing host!!

Bresly is just amazing! Thank you very much again. We helped in her garden, but nothing hard to do. Bresly explained us everything about life in Peru, gave us tours... We learned so much about nature, farming, culture etc. She cooks very well and we fell always full. Thank you very much Bresly! You're an incredible woman!
