Descripción
We are an Organic Farm, we raise animals with techniques of permaculture, and we reforest our mountains, we are located in the Ecuadorian Andes in a small town called Atahualpa at 1:30 hours from Quito.
Your main work will be taking care of our farm animals, we have two horses, chickens and a lovely dog. They all live in freedom and each has a specific role on the farm.
We work together with native families.
We started a reforestation project with a local palm tree and other native trees. Our goal is to bring back a local bird (loro) which almost disappeared completely from the area. We are also establishing an edible forest which is part of the reforestation project. This project is still in the beginning and part of your help will be taking care of the trees.
Maintenance of our organic, permaculture garden.
There is lots of room for your own suggestions and ideas. You are always welcome to help improve the garden, the forest and the life of our animals.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

In the town there are several natives from different towns of the country, you will have the opportunity to interact directly with some of the native families in their daily work and life.
For this reason there are several different traditions, music, dance, food and beliefs as well as traditional games that are not commonly seen in other parts of the country. Barter is widely used in commercial exchange.
The farm is very close to Otavalo where you can visit the famous market with numerous products from Ecuador.
The volunteer will participate directly in all daily activities.Ayuda

I am native Spanish, I can help you to learn Spanish. I have learned German for many years, I would be very happy to keep practising. I speak English, but I do not really like it.Alojamiento
You will live in an ecological cabana with solar energy, dry bath, water collected from the rain, which is located in the highest site of the farm with a spectacular view and at night you can observe the stars and the fireflies all around you. You will sleep in proper beds, I provide blankets and pillows. The solar panels provide you with light in the night and you can charge small electronic divices (USB). There is no other electricity but in the farm house (which is a 10 min walk downhill) you can charge laptops and any other device.
There is no WiFi at the cabana, only in the farm house. .
You will have to do your laundry by hand using washing soap that you can buy at one of the many local shops. We have a washing stone at the farm that you can use.
we give lunch.
You can prepare breakfast and dinner using the products of the farm. You will always have the opportunity to walk down to the city centre of Atahualpa, which is a 25 min walk. Here you can go to the bakery, the pharmacy, another store, etc. For some small things like beer and chocolate you just have to walk up the street for 2 min from the farm house to reach a small kiosk.Algo más...
In their free time they can visit several very tourist places in the area such as waterfalls, lagoons, visit the town of Otavalo. There are many routes for mountain biking and trail. Horseback riding to the lagoons of Mojanda are very popular. Sport fishing is also a very attractive attraction.
The town has a swimming pool, basketball, soccer and volleyball courts.
The Capital Quito is only 1:30 hours away by bus.Un poco más de información
