Descrição
We are a Yoga Retreat Centre based at the foot of the Llanganates national park in the Amazon rainforest. The aim of our project is to protect the wildlife within and share the values of simple living, high thinking with our visitors. We are currently looking for volunteers to help with daily activities on the reserve who will work alongside our team. Tasks include cooking (Workawayers will not be cooking for guests, just helping out with the daily meals for the volunteer team), cleaning, gardening, farming and general maintenance and we also need help organizing fun activities and classes in English for the students of our partner school in Tena which are done every few weeks. The students are local students from Tena and surrounding area who want to practice their English, these workshops can vary from a cookery class to adventure hikes, all done in English. A lot of the work is physical so we need people who are not afraid of getting their hands dirty. You can learn about the local plants and harvest fruit from our tropical garden. We have a yoga deck and mats where you can practice yoga, we do not currently have daily classes but you can book them at a discount price.
What we are currently offering is the trade of 5 hours of your help (from 8am to 1pm daily) 5 days a week in exchange for lodging on our reserve plus breakfast and lunch. You can use our volunteer kitchen to make your own dinner. You can buy vegetables in the nearby town, please do not bring any meat, fish chicken, eggs or products containing them. We have a lacto-vegetarian policy. We give our volunteers a 25% discount on yoga classes, therapies and adventures which can be taken in your free time.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
You can learn about vegetarian cooking, medicinal plants, and how to plant and harvest different fruit. Our reserve is based on Vedic principles of peace and non violence and we request all the volunteers to refrain from bringing any meat, fish or eggs (or products containing them). Alcohol and drugs are not permitted on the reserve at any time, if you are a smoker we please ask you to avoid smoking in or near the houses. Our project is a place where you can connect to nature and learn to live a simpler, healthier form of life.
Ajuda
Volunteers can learn a lot about life in the Amazon whilst on the reserve, we plant and maintain lots of tropical fruit trees so there is lots to be done in the garden. There is always lots of maintenence to be done, sometimes painting, working on the pathways, carrying sand, firewood etc. We need help planting, composting and pruning... we have Cacao trees, Jackfruit, Pineapple, Papayas, Salak, Bananas, Plantain and Sugar Cane just to name a few. If you would like to contribute with any special skills you have please let us know!

The most important thing to bring is a smile and good will. Torch/flashlight, rain jacket, personal toiletries, sunhat and an extra pair of cheap flip flops or slippers (for indoors) will also come in handy!

We will provide you with toilet paper, and a space to hand wash your clothes, or we can hire out the washing machine and dryer for $4.00 if you need it. There are many beautiful places to be visited in the area, including numerous waterfalls, natural pools and caves.

I stayed for almost 3 weeks and learnt so many things during this time. The Yoga classes in the morning are really great, the work varies a lot so there is something to do for everyone. In the afternoons we had awsome Workshops about Permaculture, Ayurveda and we learnt how to make chocolate out of the cacao that we… read more
Great place, great food, great people!
Aunque ya han pasado varios meses desde que he estado en el wisdomforest, sigo teniendo esta experiencia como unas de las mejores de todo mi viaje en mi memoria.
Gracias por compartir, convivir, reir y ensenarme tanto!
Ojala algun dia tengo la oportunidad de volver :)

After months or travelling in Latin America its definitely one of my highlights.

I met such amazing people from all over the world and… read more
