  Descripción

  Ideally Minimum 3-4 weeks,
  
  We are a couple Per- Italy (45s) with a 9 yrs child. we live in Cocachimba, Amazonas region in Peru (1800 masl, not jungle, just tropical Andes :)) We run a lodge with 3 cabins for guests. BUT We have set a space for children of the town , kind of small space with small forest and a cabin acting as a small public tiny library (Cabaña Mágica).
  we look for:
  - a person who teach basic English to children one hour per day from Mon to Thu , 4 days a week and yoga or streching to adults of the town, around 6-15 participants normally. So you need to give some time for your "workshops" preparation. Understandable Spanish required to communicate with locals
  
  In the other 2 days and when needed (no more that 2-3 hours of volunterring dayly): helping hand at the lodge. Like gardening or small reparations or help at the kitchen is appreciated...ecc. Driving license could be useful.
  
  So just around 6 hours per week for the children activitie (mandatory)s. and max. 9-10 hours per week with other help (flexible) .
  
  we offer
  Accommodation but not meals. Accomodation in small simple but furnished private room in a natural environment, all green , in front of Gocta waterfall ,bathroom and small kitchen, and basic breakfast ingredients (coffee, herbs from the garden, fruits from the garden, home made bread and jam, ecc) , a small room, ideally for one. For other meals at your own you can use the small kitchen and hotel kitchen only when free
  
  We run this lodge since 2019 and live here in Cocachimba since 2016, we have 3 cabins that we rent to tourists and visitors from all around the world, we keep the property with the help of 3 persons who work here . We have also a green garden with some vegetables and also lots of fruit tress in process of growth or some already giving us their fruits :). We are in the upper part of Cocachimba town (220 inhabitants) The view of the Gocta waterfall (770 mts one of the biggest) is all over here. We are in the area know as the kingdom of the pre Inca civilisation: the Chachapoyas (lots of archeological sites around, like Kuelap, and specially stunning nature perfect for trekking of all levels) . We have 2 dogs and 4 cats, one of them is always around the volunteer house so is better if you dont mind having a cat visiting you.
  Closest bus station: Pedro Ruiz town (movil bus, or Civa bus) from Lima, Trujillo, Piura or Chiclayo
  Closest airports: Chachapoyas with atsairlines.com (1hour) or Jaen (cajamarca) with Latam airlines (3h30 hours), or Tarapoto /Chiclayo (6-7 hours)

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  we are an Italian Peruvian couple, previously we lived in Lima, Italy and France. Here in Cocachimba you will exchange also with local people getting to know some of local culture and traditions (this is not Quechua, dont expect Cusco-like traditions). In this region lots of coffee cultivation, orchids, bird watching, waterfalls and Chachapoyas culture archeology. We are in the hearth of the Chachapoyas land (tropical Andes), average temperatures 14-26 degrees Celsius (not jungle, no vaccins needed, no dangerous mosquitos). With lots of archaeological sights, beautiful landscapes and birdwatching. We can offer experience in Peruvian culture and traditions, tourism orientation, lodge management, ecc.
  We are right below the Gocta waterfall and in the middle of the Utcubamba valley. There are plenty of treks you could do. Visits to waterfalls and caves. Chachapoyas archeological sites. we are located in a tiny town . Closer airport: 1 hour. closer bus station: 30 minutes.

  Puede acoger a nómadas digitales

  we have a good wi fi connection in most areas of the property but not all . I also work online. But considering that we are in the Peruvian Andes it could happen that it slows down , or that it stops if there is a energy shut down , but is real not frequent at all. Is good anyway to have a cell phone with some data for back up if possible (claro and Bittel work well here)
