Description
We live on a beautiful piece of rural land in Cayambe, where my family and I are transforming our property into a sustainable, nature-centered living and tourism project.
If you love the outdoors, animals, building, planting, cooking, or simply want to experience authentic rural life in Ecuador while creating something meaningful — we’d love to have you join us!

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You’ll get to hang out with local farming families, pick up some indigenous wisdom, and just go with the slow rhythm of mountain life. For example, our grandma lives right next door. She speaks Quechua and is honestly the sweetest, always happy to share stories about how life used to be.
You’ll also get the chance to travel with us. Since we’re always looking for plants and animals for the project, we often visit different cities and farm markets—and you’re welcome to join the adventure.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We are currently specialising in llama farming and would love some extra helping hands with the daily care of our beautiful herd — especially taking them for regular walks.
Botanical garden project: we are reforesting an Andean ravine with the aim of restoring ecological vitality to the area. The project includes the planting of native trees and a wide variety of flowering plants with the goal of establishing a habitat for the native hummingbird species.
In addition, we welcome help with: gardening, cooking, building small structures, documenting the process through photo and video, etc..

Accommodation
We offer a private room in a cozy house surrounded by nature, with access to high-speed internet. The space is peaceful, with minimal noise and inspiring views of the surrounding mountains and farmland.
Although we’re tucked into nature, our farm is 15 minutes from the city (Cayambe).
We provide three meals a day for our Workawayers. Whenever possible, we like to share meals together, as it’s a great opportunity for cultural exchange and conversation. We try to include fresh, local products whenever we can, and are happy to adapt meals for dietary preferences.
