The Experience

The task is very simple like: making natural juices, helping in service and washing dishes. We have lots of english speaking guests and the english spoken by our staff is limited. That is why we need help. We offer volunteers accommodation in a dorm room, 3 meals a day and you would work 5 days a week for 5 hours.

The lodge location is unbeatable, the food was delicious and the volunteers team was amazing. The waterfalls hike is the best activity you can do besides exploring around on your own and chill at the pools. Nevertheless, regarding work, to be honest volunteering at the bar wasn't exactly the experience I'm looking for with this platform since it was just washing dishes non-stop for 5 hours and kitchen atmosphere was not the best as well. If you don't mind, it would be worth it.

Hey Alexander totally true what you were commenting. We were happy to have you here but you were the last person doing dishes kind of work :) so we only accept volunteers for teaching yoga and english classes :) It was nice to have you around and I would recommend your skills and workflow to everyone! Take care kkobe

The lodge is a beautiful place located in the mountains. You will definitely connect with nature and explore beautiful landscapes. The owners are really kind and open minded. The work isn't hard and well explained. The volunteers sleep in confortable tents and your needs are well provided. I would recommend this place.

My time at the lodge was fantastic. The location is perfect for getting to know nature, as it is surrounded by jungle and mountains. The staff is very accommodating, and even let me use the computer in the reception when I was having trouble with my electronics. The free tours and food were also amazing aswell. I would recommend the lodge to anyone looking to connect with nature.

I'm very grateful for having had the opportunity of spending 2 weeks in the lodge. The site itself is both remote and enveloping, taking you away from the city and prompting you to put away your phone and live in the present. Furthermore, the staff and the installations are both top notch, allowing for a fair and pleasant dynamic of work and rest. I greatly recommend anyone looking to rest to head to the lodge :)
