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!

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.
