Descripción
My family lives in the small village of Duraznillo which got connected to the road only 2 years ago. We are about 50 families who live from the organic agriculture of coffee, corn, bananas, yuca, palta, beans, camote, caña, cacao, granadilla, chirimolla, and other fruits and vegetables.
My family mainly grows coffee but we are also taking care of my garden, bee houses, and reforestation projects.

There is also the possibility of staying in beautiful Chachapoyas and supporting me in my small restaurant and the daily life, like taking care of my children (1 year
and 3 years)

Una experiencia maravillosa ! No es facil de llegar ahi porque Duraznillo es lejos de todo. Pero es la verdadera vida en un pueblo en la montaña. Quedé casi un mes en la Familia de Juana y Manuel y me han acogido como un miembro de la familia. Cada dia fui a enseñar ingles por la mañana. Era un placer de ayudar a veces Juana en la chacra para… read more

I am so incredibly grateful for having had the privilege to spend two weeks in Duraznillo living with Doña Trine and Aldalicio. From the minute I arrived I felt so incredibly welcome. Here you will certainly get the true Peruvian experience. Life is simple here and that’s exactly why I loved it so much. I gave English lessons at the primary school… read more

I stayed three weeks in Duraznillo and it was one of the best experiences in my life!
The people are very nice, hospitable and very interested in other cultures. I had my own room and the food was amazing. They mainly eat what they grow plus rice and pasta, all tasted very natural.
I mainly worked on the organic coffee farm and organized a soccer… read more

On the road for a year and this has been my favorite travel experience yet.

I stayed for 2 weeks in Duraznillo and helped harvest coffee and taught casual English in the afternoons. When I arrived the kids were just beginning trimester break, so be flexible to help out with any needs they have. If you just have 1 week, i might recommend finding… read more

Staying in Duraznillo was one of our best workaway experiences (and we had many ;) ). We received a lot of love and care from local people, especially our hosting family. When we arrived, we discovered it's actually holiday, so the first week we worked on picking coffee and only the second week we taught English in primary and secondary school.… read more

What a secret hidden gem! If you want a true authentic Peruvian experience then come here! I stayed in the most beautiful place called San Ramon. I got a bus from Chachapoya to Duraznillo (Wilder will organise this for you) and then was greeted by Marco (school director) and some horses! We rode for 2-3 hours along the mountains (one horse… read more carrying my bag!).I also walked for part of it which you could do too.

I was totally overwhelmed at this beautiful little place hidden amongst the most beautiful mountains. The views are truly spectacular! The weather was perfect - I understand that it's similar all year round (just with rain in the winter). It was about 20-24 degrees in the day and just colder at night but I was fine with a sweater scarf and hat.

San Ramon is a small place near duraznillo. The people live a basic but beautiful life. No wifi and I found it amazing to disconnect! I had my own room and they arranged that each day I had breakfast,lunch and dinner with a different family - all who were keen to make different dishes for you! They mainly eat what they grow, so it's mainly vegetarian.... there were lots of carbohydrates though so you may wish to bring some fruit with you. Although, I was often given oranges and could buy mangos in the little shop. Just remember to bring toiletries etc with you.

The teaching was fun. The school was so enthusiastic about learning that they initially wanted me to teach quite a lot of classes. However were totally flexible when I explained this would be a lot. In the end I taught 3 classes a day (5 hours total). It was basic English and we did lots of games etc. Also it felt easy as you could just replicate the classes for each class.

If you haven't taught English before, I would advise that you just look up any grammar you need before you go (no wifi!). I would also recommend downloading some English songs for learning (like heads shoulders knees and toes etc and some English pop songs) as the kids loved to sing and dance! I always did songs in the primary classes and they loved it! The kids were so delightful and the afternoons were spent playing football or volleyball wth kids or teachers.

Everyone was so so kind. One of the teachers read my Spanish diary that I wrote each day and people helped me so much. No-one speaks English so it's great place to practice. I had basic (like higher level basic Spanish) and it helped a lot, but you could survive with less. I know there were two other girls who were there with no spanish.

Highly recommend! I would've stayed longer but sadly they had school holidays. I was a bit nervous before I went to this place as there wasn't much information, but it was by far the best decision that I made in my travels! Don't hesitate to go here!!! Once in a lifetime opportunity! The pictures don't do this place justice AT ALL! I made great friends and even then met the teachers in their hometown for a local party in the school holidays! The most unique workaway I've done! If you love kids, want to develop your Spanish and learn about true Peruvian culture - don't hesitate and come here!

Very beautiful experience in the village of San Ramon (another village nearby Duraznillo). The mountains are incredibly beautiful and the people are very very nice. Children are so happy to learn and help you in any ways.
Nobody really speaks english there (they are all learning but cannot talk) so spanish is really helpful to teach and… read more
