We had a great time with Chae Won. We would be happy to host him again any time he wants to come. He was so responsible, kind and sunny we really enjoyed his stay and his support. Also he connected very sensitive with the horses. Thank you so much Chae Won!

My stay here was my favorite Workaway experience. I worked closely with horses and learned the personality of each horse. The work was very physical, and I enjoyed having something active to do everyday instead of sitting at a desk. It also helped me prepare for a five day hike to Machupicchu. The schedule was flexible and I appreciated meeting… read more

My stay in Chuicuito was an absolutely great experience: I learned so much about horses and about many other things ( as for example how to make pillars for a fence/house!!!). A typical day would start with breakfast at about 7am, afterwards we'd clean the horses facilities and bring them to Chojochojo/a place next to Lake Titicaca where they'll… read more

Anja and Santiago were great hosts and I absolutely loved their place. They have 6 horses in Chucuito (they have more somewhere else) and the work pretty much consists of taking care of them or helping a project some other way. (I was helping a little with building a fence for example) The village is very small and right by the lake. As I said… read more
