Description:
Be part of our transformation, from degraded pastureland to Veganic Permaculture Fruit Forest Intentional Community and Forest Reserve in the High Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador.
We are a married vegan couple, living in Ecuador since May 2021.
We are establishing our veganic permaculture farm and reforestation project. Help us move this adventure forward. The property is 100 hectares (approximately 250 acres), roughly 40% forest, 10% homestead and cultivated or ready to cultivate, and 50% pasture. We have 3 functioning houses ( in need of some minor adjustments), a 4th remote house in need of a little more TLC, 5 or more structures previously used for farm animals that we have been re-purposing (3 of these are finished or in progress), a kitchen garden/greenhouse in need of more planting, acres of “cleared” land ready for planting more fruit trees as we cut back the pasture grass, ponds in need of refreshing or re-purposing, trails to maintain and improve, and 125 or more acres of pasture and degraded land to reforest. No shortage of creative projects here.
We are very environmentally-conscious and looking to meet other conscientious vegan animal lovers. We provide sufficient ingredients and supplies to prepare 3 fresh healthy vegan meals a day, or prepared meals depending on current circumstances. This is a fully vegan property. We do not consume any animals or animal products and ask that you respect that and do not bring any animal products. With advanced notice we can accommodate dietary restrictions, within the above guidelines.
The property has electric service, reliable water sourced from the property, hot water, wireless internet. The flush toilets have been transitioned to composting toilets. We compost, food waste (for edible gardening use), dog, cat, and human waste (separately from food waste, for non edible gardening and landscaping).
Our goal is to protect and nurture Pachamama with minimal invasive impact. We try to minimize plastic, single use products, and excess packaging as much as possible. We try to minimize use of harsh chemical cleaners, soaps, shampoos, etc. with chemical additives, rather preferring natural products such as vinegar, baking soda and eco-friendly biodegradable products, found in bulk whenever possible. We ask that you minimize bringing: plastic bottles, packaging, disposable items, and refrain from using chemical-based soaps/shampoos/etc that may contaminate our local water systems.
While this is a new project for us, we are not new to hosting travelers. We have hosted many Workaway volunteers over the years at our previous property on the island of St Croix in the Caribbean.

Sea parte de nuestra transformación, de pastizales degradados a Reserva Forestal y Permacultura Vegana Bosque Frutal y Comunidad Intencional en la Selva Alta Amazónica de Ecuador.
Somos una pareja vegana casada, viviendo en Ecuador desde mayo de 2021.
Estamos estableciendo nuestra finca de permacultura vegana y proyecto de reforestación. Ayúdanos a avanzar en esta aventura. La propiedad tiene 100 hectáreas (aproximadamente 250 acres), aproximadamente 40% de bosque, 10% de hacienda y area cultivada o lista para cultivar, y 50% de pasto. Tenemos 3 casas en funcionamiento (que necesitan algunos ajustes menores), una 4.ª casa que necesita algunos cuidados serios, 5 o más estructuras utilizadas anteriormente para animales de granja que hemos estado reutilizando (3 de estas están terminadas o en progreso), un huerto/invernadero que necesita más plantación, acres de tierra “despejada” listos para plantar más árboles frutales a medida que cortamos la hierba de pasto, estanques que necesitan refrescarse o reutilizarse, senderos para mantener y mejorar, y 125 o más acres de pastos y tierras degradadas para reforestar. No hay escasez de proyectos creativos aquí.
Somos muy conscientes del medio ambiente y buscamos conocer a otros amantes veganos conscientes de los animales. Proporcionamos suficientes ingredientes y suministros para preparar 3 comidas veganas frescas y saludables al día, o comidas preparadas dependiendo de las circunstancias actuales. Esta es una propiedad totalmente vegana. No consumimos ningún animal o producto animal y le pedimos que respete eso y no traiga ningún producto animal. Con aviso previo, podemos acomodar restricciones dietéticas, dentro de las pautas anteriores.
La propiedad cuenta con servicio de electricidad, agua confiable de la propiedad, agua caliente, internet de wifi. Hay inodoros con descarga, sin embargo, haremos la transición a inodoros de compostaje. Hacemos compost, desechos de alimentos (para uso comestible en jardinería), desechos de perros, gatos y humanos (por separado de los desechos de alimentos, para jardinería y paisajismo no comestibles).
Nuestro objetivo es proteger y nutrir a Pachamama con un impacto mínimo invasivo. Intentamos minimizar el plástico, los productos de un solo uso y el exceso de embalaje tanto como sea posible. Intentamos minimizar el uso de limpiadores químicos agresivos, jabones, champús, etc. con aditivos químicos, prefiriendo productos naturales como vinagre, bicarbonato de sodio y productos biodegradables ecológicos, que se encuentran a granel siempre que sea posible. Le pedimos que minimice traer: botellas de plástico, empaques, artículos desechables, y que se abstenga de usar jabones/champús/etc. a base de químicos que puedan contaminar nuestros sistemas de agua locales.
Si bien este es un proyecto nuevo para nosotros, no somos nuevos en el alojamiento de viajeros. Hemos recibido a muchos voluntarios de Workaway a lo largo de los años en nuestra propiedad anterior en la isla de St Croix en el Caribe.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Workaway travelers will be surrounded by nature in the beautiful high amazon rainforest, with healthy fresh vegan fare. They can learn from our decades of experience of minimal use practices, composting, reducing, re-using. And they can learn with us as we set out to transform hundreds of acres of abused degraded pasture, reforming some to a productive fruit forest, restoring the rest to the thriving tropical rainforest it once was, using analog forestry methods, both new and ancestral. Volunteers can also learn more about how important it is for the animals, the environment and the planet, that people stop exploiting and consuming animals, and see first hand how vital rainforest lands, cleared and damaged by decades of animal agriculture, can be restored to a thriving forest.
Los viajeros de Workaway estarán rodeados de naturaleza en la hermosa selva amazónica alta, con comida vegana fresca y saludable. Pueden aprender de nuestras décadas de experiencia en prácticas de uso mínimo, compostaje, reducción y reutilización. Y pueden aprender con nosotros mientras nos disponemos a transformar cientos de acres de pastizales degradados y maltratados, transformando algunos en bosques frutales productivos, restaurando el resto a la próspera selva tropical que alguna vez fue, usando métodos de forestería análoga, tanto nuevos como ancestrales. Los voluntarios también pueden aprender más sobre lo importante que es para los animales, el medio ambiente y el planeta, que las personas dejen de explotar y consumir animales, y ver de primera mano cómo las tierras vitales de la selva tropical, limpiadas y dañadas por décadas de agricultura animal, pueden restaurarse a un bosque próspero.Ajuda
VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS: We are looking for some dedicated long-term volunteers, committing to spending 1.5 months or more, to help coordinate and supervise clearing the grass and planting trees along trails during the months of August through January.
Our largest ongoing project is pushing back the pasture grass and planting trees to shade and nourish the soil, for both fruit forest planting and reforestation. Expect a lot of cutting, uprooting, hauling and mulching of invasive pasture grass, as well as planting trees in the cleared areas. Be prepared to work hard - in exchange, we offer more deluxe accommodation and healthier nutritious food than nearly any other Workaway opportunity in Ecuador, or South America. Workawayers can also expect to sometimes help with simple tasks such as cleaning, cooking, gardening, Language exchange, animal care (cats and dogs), and harvesting foods from the property like yuca, bananas, citrus.
We are still assessing the property to prioritize future projects. Some of the projects we have identified include:
• Adjusting the pipes and hoses of the water system to improve efficiency and water quality.
• Building compost bins - Done some, but need more
• Constructing a seedling nursery (done)
• Planting seedlings in the kitchen garden, and saplings in the cleared areas - Started!
• Propagation of Bamboo, Inga, Cecropia, Balsa and other pioneer tress for reforestation (in progress)
• Establishing more seedlings from existing collected seeds, and air layering
• Clearing and maintaining trails
• Planting Bamboo, Inga, Cecropia, Balsa, and other pioneer trees along trails to provide shade/suppress grass
• Clearing/leveling an area for sugar cane mill installation
• Dig water drainage trenches along paths and various locations

COORDINADORES DE VOLUNTARIOS: Estamos buscando algunos voluntarios dedicados a largo plazo, que se comprometan a pasar 1,5 meses o más, para ayudar a coordinar y supervisar la limpieza de la hierba y la plantación de árboles a lo largo de los senderos durante los meses de agosto a enero.
Nuestro proyecto más grande en curso es hacer retroceder el pasto y plantar árboles para dar sombra y nutrir el suelo, tanto para la plantación de bosques frutales como para la reforestación. Espere mucho corte, desarraigo, transporte y mantillo de pasto invasor, así como plantar árboles en las áreas despejadas. Prepárese para trabajar duro: a cambio, ofrecemos más alojamiento de lujo y alimentos nutritivos más saludables que casi cualquier otra oportunidad de Workaway en Ecuador o América del Sur. Los workawayers también pueden esperar ayudar a veces con tareas simples como limpiar, cocinar, jardinería, intercambio de idiomas, cuidado de animales (gatos y perros), y cosechar alimentos de la propiedad como yuca, plátanos, cítricos.
Todavía estamos evaluando la propiedad para priorizar proyectos futuros. Algunos de los proyectos que hemos identificado incluyen:
• Ajuste de las tuberías y mangueras del sistema de agua para mejorar la eficiencia y la calidad del agua.
• Construcción de sanitarios composteros “Loveable Loo” - ¡3 de 4 completos!
• Construcción de contenedores de compost - ¡Hecho algunos, pero necesito más!
• Construyendo un vivero - Completo!
• Convertir el cobertizo "Cuy" en una "cabaña para gatos" interior/exterior - ¡Hecho!
• Plantar plántulas en el huerto y árboles jóvenes en las áreas despejadas - ¡Empezado!
• Propagación de bambú, Inga, Cecropia, Balsa y otros árboles pioneros para la reforestación (en curso)
• Establecer más plántulas a partir de semillas recolectadas existentes
• Limpieza y mantenimiento de senderos.
• Plantar bambú, inga, cecropia, balsa y otros árboles pioneros a lo largo de los senderos para proporcionar sombra / suprimir el césped
• Despejar / nivelar un área para la instalación de un molino de caña de azúcar
• Cavar zanjas de drenaje de agua a lo largo de caminos y varios lugares

NOTES ABOUT SAFETY: It is extremely safe where we are, safer than any urban areas in most if not all "developed" countries.
Ecuador has been in the international news in recent months regarding the rising level of violent crime over the past few years and the current administration's fight against the drug cartels using Ecuador as a transport hub for illegal substances. Ecuador's President declared 22 gangs and organizations as terrorist groups and has utilized the military to combat organized crime in an "internal armed conflict". This conflict is limited to targeted criminal groups in very targeted areas of the country, despite international news reports of a "country at war", most of Ecuador is unaffected by this police action, and where Las Aguas Risas is located, we are completely unaffected. Please do not let exaggerated news articles prevent you from visiting this beautiful country. But as always, remain cautious while traveling.
Down time can be spent relaxing in a hammock lulled by the soothing sounds of river or stream - we have several; watching the antics of rainforest birds; hiking along the streams and creeks, or up to the waterfall on property; trekking to the incredible newly discovered petroglyphs at Santa Susana de Chiavaza or the Cascadas Coloradas (Red Falls) toward Limón; or for the more adventurous… whitewater rafting or kayaking, trail biking, cave exploring, and more.
If you’re looking for nightlife (other than forest critters), this is not the place for you. We are a semi-remote finca in the higher amazon rainforest in Limón-Indanza canton, just east of the town of Limón. There is a fair accessible gravel road to the property from Limón. It is steep and rough in some areas, approximately 17km, a 40-45 minute taxi ride. Sunday morning is a good arrival time for volunteers. We typically travel to Limón Sunday mornings to go to market and can coordinate to meet volunteers in Limón late morning up to around noon and go together to the property. Otherwise we can provide detailed directions and map pins, so volunteers can take taxi to the property.
We are in the rainforest. It rains here, a lot, particularly between February and July. Here in the high Amazon it can get chilly at night. We also have bugs, a massive variety of beautiful and harmless bugs. There may be a few poisonous ones, we never see them. Personally, we are not too affected by the bugs, occasional mosquito or gnat bites in the mornings or evenings, and sometimes annoyed by flies out in the field. However, some people react to them more severely than others. Plan accordingly. Bring rain gear, long sleeves, long pants, hat; repellant if you need it - PLEASE bring non-chemical natural deterrents if at all possible - anti-itch cream if you are more susceptible to bites. Rubber boots are essential here. We have some spares in sizes 37-40, 42, 45, though they may leak. If you want your feet to remain dry, consider picking up a pair that fits.
If the tranquility and solitude of nature induces feelings of anxiety, isolation or loneliness, you may want to consider less remote projects.
We cannot provide full time transportation, we travel by foot, bus and taxi ourselves.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOU ARE A SMOKER. THANK YOU.

El tiempo de inactividad se puede pasar relajándose en una hamaca arrullado por los relajantes sonidos del río o arroyo; tenemos varios; observar las travesuras de las aves de la selva tropical; caminatas a lo largo de los arroyos y arroyos, o hasta la cascada en la propiedad; trekking a los increíbles petroglifos recién descubiertos en Santa Susana de Chiavaza o las Cascadas Coloradas (Red Falls) hacia Limón; o para los más aventureros... rafting en aguas bravas o kayak, ciclismo de senderos, exploración de cuevas y más.
Si está buscando vida nocturna (aparte de las criaturas del bosque), este no es el lugar para usted. Somos una finca semi-remota en la selva amazónica alta en el cantón de Limón-Indanza, justo al este de la ciudad de Limón. Hay un buen camino accesible de lastre a la propiedad desde Limón. Es empinado y accidentado en algunas áreas, aproximadamente 17 km, un viaje en taxi de 40 a 45 minutos. El domingo por la mañana es una buena hora de llegada para los voluntarios. Por lo general, viajamos a Limón los domingos por la mañana para ir al mercado y podemos coordinar para reunirnos con los voluntarios en Limón a última hora de la mañana hasta alrededor del mediodía e ir juntos a la propiedad. De lo contrario, podemos proporcionar direcciones detalladas y pines de mapa, para que los voluntarios puedan tomar un taxi a la propiedad.
Estamos en la selva tropical. Aquí llueve mucho, sobre todo entre febrero y julio. Aquí en el alto Amazonas puede hacer frío por la noche. También tenemos bichos, una gran variedad de bichos hermosos e inofensivos. Puede haber algunos venenosos, nunca los vemos. Personalmente, no nos afectan demasiado los bichos, picaduras ocasionales de mosquitos o mosquitos por las mañanas o por las noches, y a veces molestos por las moscas en el campo. Sin embargo, algunas personas reaccionan a ellos más severamente que otras. Planifique en consecuencia. Traiga equipo de lluvia, mangas largas, pantalones largos, sombrero; repelente si lo necesita - POR FAVOR traiga elementos disuasorios naturales no químicos si es posible - crema anti-picazón si es más susceptible a las picaduras. Las botas de goma son esenciales aquí. Tenemos algunos repuestos en tamaños 37-40, 42, 45, aunque pueden gotear. Si quieres que tus pies permanezcan secos, considera escoger un par que se ajuste.
Si la tranquilidad y la soledad de la naturaleza induce sentimientos de ansiedad, aislamiento o soledad, es posible que desee considerar proyectos menos remotos.
No podemos proporcionar transporte a tiempo completo, nosotros mismos viajamos a pie, en autobús y en taxi.
