    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can practice your Spanish with three different accents (Mexico, Guatemala and Venezuela) which will help you understand more Spanish-speaking people. You can take walks through the desert. You will be in direct contact with nature and its sounds. La Paz is a very welcoming and quiet city, the walks around the bay are the best and if you have a good budget you can take a boat trip to see the marine fauna and enjoy the best beaches.

    Puedes practicar tu español con tres acentos distintos (México, Guatemala y Venezuela) lo que te ayudará a entender a más personas de habla hispana. Puedes realizar caminatas por la selva. Estarás en contacto directo con la naturaleza y sus sonidos. La Paz es una Ciudad muy acogedora y tranquila, los paseos por el malecón son los mejores y si tienes buen presupuesto puedes hacer algún viaje en lancha a ver la fauna marina y disfrutar de las mejores playas. Imagina nuestro espacio como un retiro. Algunos voluntarios han rentado moto o auto para moverse más fácil, pero solemos bajar a la ciudad con regularidad.

    All volunteers must clean the collective spaces and the bnb. We have a Loft for rent and a bus. Our garden is very extensive so it will be a task that will take up much of the time, collecting dog feces to avoid flies and firewood for the guests. We also need to take care of the place in our absence and take care of non-Spanish speaking guests if they speak your language. Pamper pets. Build if you know how to do it, shovel dirt, fix roads, flatten spaces, paint, repair, carpentry, plumbing, etc.

Nuestro jardín es muy extenso por lo que será una labor que ocupará gran parte del tiempo, recoger heces de los perros para evitar las moscas y leña para los huéspedes. También necesitamos cuiden el lugar en nuestra ausencia y atiendan a los huéspedes que no hablen español si hablan su idioma. Mimar a las mascotas. Construir si sabes hacerlo, palear tierra, arreglar caminos, aplanar espacios, pintar, reparar, carpintería, plomería, etc.

    It is variable, at the moment we use the loft and the bus when it is not rented and a cave-like basement. Very basic bathroom. At the moment we shower in the bnb that is unoccupied or with a bucket. You will have water to drink (Do not buy bottles, less plastic is possible), salt, sugar, oil. Shared two-burner stove for you to prepare your food. We usually share some meals or have competitions for who cooks the richest. It's like camping in the desert.

Tendrás agua para beber (No compres botellas, menos plástico es posible), sal, azucar, aceite. Estufa de dos hornillas compartida para que prepares tus alimentos. Solemos compartir algunas comidas o hacer competencias de quien cocina más rico. Es como acampar en la selva.
