Accommodation
We provide you a small room with a single bed. The bathroom is clean, and usually with hot water ....
We also have a 2 persons bedroom.
You will have free access to the kitchen to cook your meals, and can consume fruits as much as you want.
You'll have to bring the rest of your food, that you could buy on the island.
You'll have to help 3 hours a day (at least 😊).
What else ...
Since may we now offer great WIFI !!!
We are in the Highlands of Isabela, fresher than on the beach, but very pleasant to sleep.
The bus stop is at 30 minutes walking, and then it takes 45 minutes to go to the beach.
ONLY 2 BUS A DAY
But with a car, a taxi or doing hitchikking, it takes only 25 minutes to go to the beach.
We enjoy to receive volunteers who want to help, interested in the farm ... Not who just want to save the hotel price 😉
Isabela is probably the most beautiful island of Galapagos, and for sure the best to see all the animals ! We could give you all the tips you need 😊
