Description
This is a peaceful, nature-based and semi-remote place, so volunteers will be comfortable with simple living, shared spaces, and being part of a small community.
Our local team brings together different backgrounds, skills and experiences. Each person has a role in keeping our place running, from land and project coordination to hospitality, cooking, maintenance and community activities.
Workawayers can expect a friendly, respectful and supportive environment, with guidance when needed and space to contribute independently. We encourage open communication and a relaxed atmosphere where everyone is treated fairly and their contribution is appreciated.
We welcome people who want to live simply, share skills, connect with nature, and contribute meaningfully. -

What else ...
Time off can be used to explore the surrounding cloud forest, visit nearby Mindo, hike, swim in rivers and waterfalls, or simply rest and enjoy the natural environment. We value respect, communication, cleanliness, personal boundaries, and care for the land and shared spaces. Transport to and from the Sanctuary should be planned in advance, as local transport options are limited.
