    Description

    This is an eco lodge located in the heart of the Peruvian amazon, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and a river. We offer volunteers the opportunity to experience a different pace of life, connect with people, practice spanish, and enjoy the unique biodiversity of the region.

    Our main volunteer project focuses on supporting our staff in their english learning journey. Many of our team members come from nearby communities and are highly motivated to improve their conversational english to grow both personally and professionally within the tourism industry. Because of this, we especially value volunteers who have some experience in teaching, tutoring, mentoring, coaching, or simply helping others learn in an engaging and patient way.

    The goal is to help create a fun and practical learning environment through classes, conversations, activities, games, and everyday interactions. Cultural exchange is a very important part of the experience, and our team loves getting to know people from different countries while sharing their own culture and way of life.

    In addition, we are always happy to welcome volunteers with skills in photography, videography, content creation, social media, architecture, landscaping, horticulture, gardening.

    Above all, we are looking for kind, open minded people who enjoy nature, cultural exchange, and being part of a small and welcoming community.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Volunteering with us is an opportunity to step away from the usual tourist experience and become part of everyday life at an amazon lodge.

    During their stay, travellers can practice spanish, learn about peruvian culture, share experiences with our team and guests, and gain a better understanding of how tourism and hospitality operate in a remote natural setting. Every day brings new conversations, different perspectives, and opportunities to learn from one another.

    Living in the middle of nature also allows volunteers to experience the incredible biodiversity of the region, enjoy outdoor activities, and discover a slower pace of life surrounded by birds, wildlife, and beautiful landscapes.

    Most importantly, we hope volunteers leave with new friendships, meaningful memories, and connection to the people and places they encounter during their time here.
