Descripción
We are developing a long-term personal project on the remote coast of southern Peru, at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a unique desert ecosystem.
This is not a typical farmstay or backpacker experience. The project focuses on building a functional and sustainable landscape in an extremely dry environment, working with limited water, solar energy, and simple infrastructure.
The main areas we are working on are:
irrigation systems (gravity-fed, water efficiency)
landscape restoration in arid coastal conditions
planting adapted species
small-scale construction and infrastructure
off-grid living systems (solar energy, water management)
The place is isolated, quiet, and physically demanding at times. It requires autonomy, practical thinking, and the ability to work without constant supervision.
We are looking for people who can contribute real skills, not just help casually.

Objetivos de sostenibilidad de las NU que intenta conseguir este anfitrión
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
This is a small-scale personal project, so the experience is more about working closely and sharing ideas than organized cultural activities.
You will experience a very different way of living, with a strong focus on nature, isolation, and self-sufficiency.
Proyectos con niños
En este proyecto podría haber niños. Para obtener más información, consulta nuestras directrices y consejos aquí.
Ayuda
We are only interested in volunteers with practical, hands-on experience in at least one of the following areas:
irrigation systems / water management
construction / carpentry / basic engineering
landscaping / dryland agriculture
solar energy systems
maintenance and problem-solving in remote environments
You should be able to work independently, take initiative, and help organize tasks.
This is not a place to learn from zero. We expect people who already have some experience and can contribute from the beginning.
Current tasks may include:
improving irrigation distribution systems
organizing planting areas
repairing infrastructure
optimizing water use
basic DIY projects
Idiomas hablados
Español: Fluido
Alojamiento
Accommodation is simple and rustic but comfortable enough for daily living. Meals are provided.
We are off-grid (solar energy) and water is limited, so responsible use is essential.
Internet is available (Starlink), but the environment is not designed for a digital lifestyle.

This was such a wonderful place!! We stayed for one week, during which we helped with weeding and collecting trash. (It would be helpful to have gloves.) Every Tuesday, there is a trip to Chala for shopping, so you’ll need to buy things like water and toilet paper then.

I spent three weeks at Jihuay and I must say that the place is an absolute paradise! During my time I got to see so many pre-Incan ruins (even a skull in one of the house since the place has not had a thorough archeological sweep), penguins, and sea lions! Beti is a wonderful cook and is more than happy to teach her ways.

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The work was good and the host was very fun to hang out with and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome.
