The Experience

If you're looking to use your talents to travel the world, experience new cultures and make a difference, apply to our volunteer programme and help us restore a 150-year-old farmhouse into a vibrant cultural centre in the Andes. It will later host an abundance of community, cultural, educational and tourism activities. The space will include a café/restaurant, a training/co-working space, office-space, eco-toilets and a studio-apartment.

Living in Atandahaul did not come without challenges, but challenges are what make an adventure. Josh led and organised a bespoke video project which led to one of my greatest experiences I have had in my life and also to meet incredible people all passionate within their own fields. Local people are very friendly and its a part of Ecuador I will always think of as home. Thank you josh for this experience.

Este proceso tiene mucho sentido, un centro de intercambio cultural donde no solo se aprende lo particular de tu interés sino que se preocupa por comprender como habitar en comunidad, un trato muy especial y personas muy bonitas
