I spent 3 weeks at the Ecolodge, Erick is really a very nice person with whom you can talk and get advice what to visit, what public transport to take, everything.
I don't speak Spanish and it took me a while to settle in and understand everything, but the staff I work with was kind (they only speak Spanish). My work has been mostly gardening help… read more

My overall experience in the Ecolodge was great. The owner is a friendly person who will help you with your activities in the area.
I mostly helped with serving breakfasts, social media, helping the guests, painting and some other little projects around the property.
The place is really nice, the area is quiet and really beautiful.

We stayed with Eric for a bit over 2 weeks, and it was a really great experience. We met Eric in Lima, where he invited us into his home, where we stayed for 2 nights. We then drove with Eric in his car all the way to the Lodge. This was a really nice gesture, and proves how good of a host Eric is. The lodge is located in beautiful surroundings… read more

Life at the Ecolodge is tough but rewarding; being surrounded by beautiful green hills, and majestic snow cap mountain tops while doing honest hard work is nourishment for the soul :)

Through my 4 weeks of volunteering here, I was working with the farmers; weeding the fields, clearing out new farm land, ploughing the soil with cows, picking… read more berries, digging irrigation, and other tasks outside. The work is thankless and unforgiving, all day long underneath the hot sun, testing one's physical and mental endurance. Once or twice a week, the farmers have a mid morning snack of Chocho (a mix of beans, onions, potatoes, and various vegetables) which is absolutely yummy! The first week, I did a full week of Monday till Friday, 7 - 8 hours a day, and half day Saturday. The following weeks, I requested the usual 25 hours per week as listed on the Work Away page, Monday till Wednesday, 7 - 8 hours a day, and half day Thursday. This gave some much needed time to recover from the very physical farm work, for the blisters/muscle aches to heal every week, and also to enjoy the tranquil peaceful environment :)

There is not much around the Ecolodge, except a few small grocery stores. Caraz is the nearest small town, and can be easily reached, by hailing a mototaxi that frequently passes by. It costs 1 sole to get from the Ecolodge into Caraz, and another 2-3 soles to get back up the hill to the Ecolodge. Walking into Caraz takes about 40 mins, but there are a lot of stray dogs along the way; it can be scary being escorted by 5 loudly barking dogs, but thankfully there was no physically contact thus far. There is a central market to get fresh fruit/vegetables/meat, and the Trujillo supermarket has everything else. Eating out is affordable and easily available in Caraz, with set menus (starter and main course) starting from 5 soles. On work days, lunch is provided by Erick's (the owner) abuela who cooks amazing homemade Peruvian food. There is a small post office in Caraz, whose the opening times can be erratic.

I lived in the loft area above reception for most of my time here. I believe reception was being refurbished, so it was totally empty when I arrived. Therefore the accommodation is extremely basic: a mattress with a pillow and sheets, working toilet, and hot shower with sufficient but inconsistent water pressure. The facilities gradually trickled in as the weeks went by: tables, chairs, electric kettle, kitchen utensils, and on my last week, glass for the windows, and a working stove to cook. I am a simple person who loves camping, so it was not hard to get use to the simple living conditions. Side note about cooking/boiling water, due to higher altitude/lower atmospheric pressure, water boils at a lower temperature. Let the water boil a bit longer after it starts bubbling, and double check that food is cooked. On my last weekend, the reception was being painted, so I was moved into one of the guest apartments with full facilities including a refrigerator, full powered shower, curtains - it was heaven! ;) Laundry is hand washed, and dries quite quickly when hung outside in the sun. Decent internet is available through WiFi, but only around the reception area where the router is. The router is shut off at 9pm every night.

Erick mostly lives in Lima, and drops by the Ecolodge every now and then. I met Erick in Lima before volunteering, and also while at the Ecolodge. He is friendly, open to suggestions, and can be contacted easily through Whatsapp.

As noted by a previous review, when one is not working, there is a fair bit of alone time, being the sole volunteer. Perfect for reading, writing, and lots of deep thought. It was also the off peak season, so there were only a few hotel guests. I was quite happy when a second volunteer arrived during my last week. Coralie and I went exploring hiking during our off time, to the nearby Lake Paron :)

All in all, this has been a different and special experience for me. Thank you Eric for taking me in, and letting me be part of this amazing place in the mountains. Thanks to the farmers Eber and Ameriko for all their help, and putting up with me for a month :)
