Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You are going to learn a lot about wild flora and fauna and their management because you will be actively working with them every day. You're also going to get to know the mexican culture, living together daily with the native people and practicing your Spanish. The owner speaks Spanish and English. The work environment is relaxed and fun, you can work at your own pace. You will have the opportunity to enjoy your free time hanging at the house, wandering around the park, getting basic groceries or a bite to eat in the nearby village, or visiting the town of Tenancingo, half an hour away by collective taxi.
