Program Details

Ananaw was one of Mindo’s best personalized hostels for years, until the pandemic paused us. Now we’re coming back with a new face and want Worldpackers to join us. Help with gardening, carpentry and cleaning, and learn birds and nature photography with a local guide. A 100% positive attitude and eagerness to learn are a must. Only two rooms ready, the rest under renovation. Stays of 2 weeks to 3 months.
