We are a family of 5 living on an eco farm in the cloud forest region of Ecuador. Life is pretty simple but comfy here: a wooden house, two rivers, 2 acre of banana and coffee, some acres of pasture, greenhouse and many more acres of virgin rain forest. There is no wifi, no phone, no electricity (we do have a generator to charge phones, etc). There sure is running water (from a natural spring), a toilet and a WARM shower. We drive to town a couple of times a week, so everyone can check their emails, etc. There are many things to do: designing and building some new infrastructure, maintaining the place, clearing and planting, reforesting the cloudforest with local small trees, identifying interesting specimens in the forest, animal care and working with the horses or donkey or llamas, preparing food, generall work; one for all and all for one. We would very much appreciate your time and your help with this project. We request 1 week stay minimum and 6 hours work a day, 6 days a week.
