  Beschreibung

  We are a family-operated conservation NGO, dedicated to preserving Ecuador's rich biodiversity for over three decades. Our mission intertwines community sustainable development, education, research, and ecotourism. One of our pivotal endeavors is our ecotourism initiative. This not only educates our visitors but also serves as a primary revenue stream, funding our non-profit activities. These include patrolling our protected areas, conducting research, fostering education, and generating local employment opportunities.
  
  Nestled in the cloud forest, our location is a natural haven, boasting some of the highest biodiversity levels globally. This includes the annual sightings of the rare Andean Spectacled Bear. The lodge's location offers a mild and warm climate throughout the year, free from tropical diseases.
  
  We are in search of responsible and mature individuals with strong organizational skills to help us refine our systems in anticipation of growth. We encourage workawayers to stay 1 to 6 months.
  
  We invite you to join our cause! We seek assistance with:
  
  Business planning and improving our operations.
  Hosting guests when we travel to the city.
  Creating vegan and vegetarian menus
  Basic maintenance and tidying up.
  Signaling the trails.
  Interior design.
  Crafting wildlife presentations.
  Coordinating worker schedules.
  Fundraising efforts.
  Supporting our organic garden and kitchen operations.
  Completing our yoga platform and environmental education center.
  Teaching English and environmental education and science to the children in town and to our staff.
  Join us in making a difference while experiencing the unparalleled beauty of Ecuador's cloud forest.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You will learn first hand what it takes to run an eco-lodge in the most biodiverse place on earth. Your teammates will be locals who are amazing bird guides, bamboo workers and cooks. Local guides know so much about local uses of plants as well as how to spot and name birds and other animals. Locals are into playing soccer (football) and ecuavolley (Ecuadorian's version of volleyball). Our guests come from all over the world and consist mostly of an environmentally friendly type of people.

  Arbeit

  We are looking for hardworking people and in particular couples. We would appreciate people with experience and interest in different aspects of building, woodwork, interior design, decoration and agriculture, and teaching English to your fellow workers. We need help to re-organize our place for a post-COVID 19 era. We are thinking to prepare virtual presentations and educational tours, refurbishing our infrastructure, planting lots of food, writing a new operational manual, maintenance and decorations, maintaining trails, raising funds, working in an organic garden, finish the woodwork of a yoga platform, and to create materials for natural history tours.
  Volunteer travelers would join the owner's family and local staff to try to keep this paradisiac boat afloat.

  Unterkunft

  Workawayers will be provided a private bedroom with shared bathrooms in the scientific station; which is a quaint wooden house with great views of the forest. Workawayers would have to help cook meals at our lodge's kitchen. We are in a wildlife reserve in the tropics, so workawayers should not be afraid of spiders, bugs, or animals in general.

  Was noch ...

  Ecuador is an amazing country to know and visit. Public transportation and roads are better than most neighboring countries such as Colombia or Peru, or similar countries such as Costa Rica. Somebody said that Ecuador is a small country that summarizes the world. There are dozens of indigenous nationalities that have kept their cultures, dozens of different ecosystems from snow-capped mountains to lush virgin forests to white-sand beaches to desert areas. Of course, once in Ecuador, workawayers can also visit the Galapagos Islands. If you decide to stay at our cloud forest reserve during your time off, you can hike our trails, lay in a hammock, read a book, and just rest and relax.
  While we have limited mobility due to COVID, our place offers an incredible opportunity to hike trails and visit our waterfall only 200 meters from the lodge.

  At least a good thing after the pandemic is that we got fiber optic internet. We are still living in the middle of the forests, yet the internet has been really reliable 95% of the time.
