  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  A well rounded education in plant medicine, eco tourism, and the benefits of explortation in the Amazon jungle. Through working around the property, harvesting, planting and discussion, workawayers will gain knowledge of the Amazonian plants/foods in the region and how they are utilized by locals and also will develop an idea of how developing civilization is impacting the Amazonian plants and animals. We can visit locals in the village and learn about day to day life in the village. What people do to survive and make a living. Workawayers will develop a greater understanding and perspective of life. Both plant and human.

  Help

  We’re looking for motivated volunteers to help us maintain and breathe new life into our beautiful riverside property in the Amazon. The place has a lot of character but is a bit run down and needs some love — from basic repairs and upkeep to creative improvements.
  We’d also love help with finishing our website (updating content, photos, and basic improvements).
  This is a great spot for digital nomads and remote workers — we have reliable internet, and the peaceful jungle setting is perfect for focused work alongside meaningful hands-on experiences.
  Most of all, we welcome people who are eager to learn about themselves, connect deeply with nature, and immerse in the rich world of the Amazon — its incredible plants, wildlife, culture and local people.
  If you’re looking for a meaningful exchange, personal growth, and unforgettable jungle memories, we’d love to hear from you!
