    Hello!
    We are a family looking for people with great energy, a positive attitude, and a love for taking care of our wonderful planet.

    We offer a work exchange to help us with the care, maintenance, and renewal of our two eco-houses, located up on the hill above Huanchaco, not in the town center:

    House 1: Only an 8-minute walk from Huanchaco. Perfect for a single person or a couple. This is where our photography school for local youth and weaving workshops with women from the community take place.

    House 2: A bit more remote, about 20 minutes from Huanchaco. Recommended for a couple looking for peace and deep connection with nature. Here we grow plants and work on eco-building projects.

    Your main tasks will include:

    Maintenance and small repairs (eco-building, painting, fixing things).

    Gardening and planting to keep the spaces green.

    Cleaning and organizing the houses.

    Creative support for community activities (weaving, photography, social media).

    Our houses have a special charm: they were built by hand using natural and recycled materials such as clay, cane, wood, bamboo, and glass bottles. They are surrounded by plants, with beautiful views, plenty of peace and silence — perfect for meditation, creativity, and relaxation.

    We offer:

    A private room with a bed.

    Shared bathroom and kitchen.

    A peaceful environment, close to nature, perfect for creativity and personal growth.

    We are looking for people with experience in: gardening, carpentry, eco-construction, painting, space design, weaving, photography, or manual work in general.

    If you love creating, transforming, and taking care of spaces, we would love to welcome you!

    We are waiting for you
    Kira & Felipe

    Hola!
    Somos una familia en búsqueda de personas con muy buena energía, actitud positiva y amor por el cuidado de nuestro maravilloso planeta.

    Ofrecemos un intercambio de trabajo para ayudarnos con el cuidado, mantenimiento y renovación de nuestras dos casas ecológicas, ubicadas en la parte alta de Huanchaco, no en el centro del pueblo:

    Casa 1: Está a solo 8 minutos caminando de Huanchaco. Es perfecta para una persona sola o una pareja. Aquí funciona nuestra escuela de fotografía para jóvenes y talleres de tejido con señoras de la comunidad.

    Casa 2: Está un poco más alejada, a unos 20 minutos de Huanchaco. Es ideal para una pareja que busque tranquilidad y conexión con la naturaleza. Aquí sembramos plantas y realizamos proyectos de construcción ecológica.

    El trabajo consiste principalmente en:

    Mantenimiento y reparaciones (pequeñas construcciones, pintura, arreglos).

    Jardinería y siembra para mantener el espacio verde.

    Limpieza y orden de los ambientes.

    Apoyo creativo en actividades comunitarias (tejido, fotografía, redes sociales).

    Las casas tienen un encanto especial: fueron construidas artesanalmente con barro, caña, madera, bambú y botellas de vidrio, lo que les da una energía muy natural y única. Están rodeadas de plantas, con bellas vistas y mucha paz, perfectas para meditar, crear y disfrutar del silencio.

    Ofrecemos:

    Habitación privada con cama.

    Baño y cocina compartidos.

    Un entorno de tranquilidad, comunidad y conexión con la naturaleza.

    Buscamos personas con experiencia en: jardinería, carpintería, construcción ecológica, pintura, diseño de espacios, tejido, fotografía o trabajo manual en general.

    Si te apasiona crear, transformar y cuidar espacios, ¡será un placer recibirte!

    Te esperamos
