- Gardening with local plants, herbs, flowers and trees.
- Social and comunication skills with hospitality and tourism.

Help
We need help on a many aspects and areas, the most common is with the restoration and renovation of the old farm house, but the most important is taking care and give attention to the year old puppies. In occations I need to leave the hose farm to work as freelance tourgiuide, in that case there is not much tasks to do and the work is more like a house and puppies sitting, but no worries you are never completely alone, because the person in charge of the horses and the family who is in charge of the rest of the animals (besides puppies) stays always in the farm.
The most important for us is workawayers will be happy and enjoy staing here, the amount of working hours is veery variable, there are some more busy days and other verry relaxed, no fix schedulle or days off so this is to coordinate once you are here.

Learnig another languahe is always interesting and usefull, at the moment i am courious about french langiuage but I any language is interesting to learn :)
Accommodation
Near the lodge we have a room with independent access, this room has a batwoom 5 meters away and it has a nice warm shower. The kitchen is a bit further, but you will never cook with such a nice view!
You will probably share the room with one more volunteer or if there is availability you can also use one of the rooms from the Lodge :)
Your help at the kitchen is always welcome sometimes we cook for the whole staff, sharing food and experiences, and sometimes you can enjoy cooking your own favorite meal. This is depending on the occupancy of the lodge and how busy are the permanent staff. Since every perrson might have different diet, alergies and preferences we only provide verry basic things for you to prepare your own food , we provide trasnportation to/from the city to go for groceries.
What else ...
The access to the farm is difficult to explain but once you are here and see the location is easy.
That is why normally I pick volunteers from Puno city, also we pass by the market so you can buy some groceries since food is not included.

He is a great host who always wants that everybody has a good time and is very supportive for example he drove me to the airport on my last day. The farm is only around 30 mins from Puno in the Huerta Huaraya neighbourhood. Here is the perfect place to chillout or explore the surrounding mountains.… read more
The work consisted of taking care of the dogs 🐶 and helping to prepare the rooms and meals when there are guests in the lodges. Here you have plenty of time to yourself in a nice place with a beautiful landscape 🌞 You can also help with the horses and ride them for a stroll 🐴.… read more
