  Description

  Hi! I’m María, the manager of this lodge. I also live on the property and coordinate the daily life of the lodge.
  
  It is a rustic hotel and retreat center located in Urubamba, one of the main towns in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We regularly host groups coming for spiritual or wellness retreats, as well as independent travelers from around the world.
  
  Urubamba is a lively town with a big local market, restaurants, and easy access to nearby attractions. We’re close to Ollantaytambo (30 minutes away), and about 4 hours from Machu Picchu. The area is ideal for anyone who enjoys hiking and nature walks, with plenty of trails and scenic routes in the surroundings.

  Help

  We are currently looking for a volunteer with experience in yoga to offer one class per day (1 hour) for our guests, and to also support us by guiding short tours through our organic vegetable and herb garden, where we grow food, medicinal plants, and cultivate connection with the land.
  
  We aim to create a wholesome experience for our guests—bringing together body, breath, and earth. If you’re passionate about well-being, conscious living, nature or education, this could be a beautiful space to both share and learn.
  
  Main tasks:
  • Teach one yoga class per day (1 hour), open to guests. Any gentle and respectful style is welcome.
  • Guide informal tours of our organic vegetable and herb garden, explaining what w e grow and how we care for the land.
  • Support in the garden with basic tasks such as:
  Harvesting seasonal vegetables and herbs
  Removing weeds and preparing soil
  Planting and watering
  Helping maintain the space organized and vibrant.
