Descrição
¡Me encanta conectar con la naturaleza y con otras personas! Estudié Ecología y Biología Evolutiva en la universidad, y me fascina la entomología, la ornitología, la botánica, y cualquier cosa que tiene que ver con el mundo natural. Estar en la naturaleza me da vida, y quiero ayudar a cuidar al medio ambiente para que otros puedan disfrutarla también.
He trabajado en muchas fincas y me encantaba cada experiencia.

Espero mejorar mis habilidades de Español para que yo pueda ser una médica mejor. Empezaré estudiar medicina este año y quiero provenir el mejor cuidado posible para mis pacientes hispanohablantes.

¡También me encanta enseñar! Tengo mucha experiencia en tutoría y he dirigido clases.

I love connecting with nature and with other people! I studied Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in college, and I am absolutely fascinated by entomology, ornithology, botany, and pretty much anything that has to do with the natural world. Being outside brings me so much life, and I want to help take care of the environment so that others can enjoy it as well. I have worked on many different farms and loved every experience.

I also am passionate about improving my Spanish skills so that I can be a better physician. I will start medical school this year and want to be able to provide the best possible care for my Spanish-speaking patients.

Also, I love teaching! I have lots of experience in tutoring and have led classes.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Mari and Luis have an amazing project going. I was so sad that I could only stay one night because I know I could learn so much there. Even in my short time, I learned a lot about medicinal plants, apiculture, construction, and Quechua history and culture. Through their passionate study and care for nature,… read more

You can hear that the Amazon is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, but it is something else entirely when you are walking the trails at Finca la Argentina and can see hundreds of distinct, magnificent species surrounding you! This is a fantastic place to experience a true wonder. Also, I felt so welcomed and taken care of while… read more staying there. Not to mention that Lupe is super knowledgeable about medicinal plants and Pato has a wealth of knowledge about the biology of the area! They are both very generous in sharing what they know. And there’s lots to explore nearby!

I recommend getting a bolón and an emborrajado at Las Delicias de Doña Esperanza (see picture), going to Mirador Indichuris and a nearby waterfall, visiting communities outside of Puyo (as well as spending some time walking around in the city itself!), and taking a day trip to Misahuallí to go tubing and hang by the beach. If you’re interested in going to church while there, I recommend Iglesia Ágape (about 10 min away by taxi)–the people there are super welcoming :) This is a great trip to combine with a partner organization in Otavalo (ask Lupe for info!)

If you have any questions about my experience don’t hesitate to contact me!

**I recommend not buying waterproof boots if you are low on space and will only use them here! Boots are absolutely necessary, but they are easy to get in Puyo and there are many pairs available at the Finca. I left boots in a women’s 9.5W.

———————————

Uno puede oír que la Amazonia es uno de los lugares más biodiversos en todo el planeta, pero es algo diferente cuando estás caminado por los senderos en Finca la Argentina y puede ver dientes de distintos especies maravillosos que te rodean! Esto es un lugar fantástico para experimentar una maravilla verdadera. También, me sentía muy bienvenida y apoyada durante mi tiempo en la Finca. Además, Lupe y Pato tienen una riqueza de conocimiento con respeto a las plantas medicinales y la biología del área. Son muy generosos en compartir lo que saben. Y hay mucho para explorar cerquita!

Les recomiendo comer un bolón y un emborrajado en “Las Delicias de Doña Esperanza,” ir al Mirador Indichuris y a una cascada cerca, visitar comunidades justo afuera del Puyo (y caminar por las calles de Puyo mismo! Les dejaré el número de una guía), y viajar por el día a Misahuallí para hacer tubing y ir a la playa. Se te interesa ir a una iglesia, les recomiendo Iglesia Ágape (10 minutos de la Finca por taxi)—la gente allí es muy amable! Una estancia en Finca la Argentina es perfecta para combinar con una organización afiliada en Otavalo, donde hay un clima muy diferente (pregúntale a Lupe por mas información).

Si tiene cualquier duda, no hesites en contactarme!

**Te recomiendo NO COMPRAR BOTAS si solamente las vas a usar mientras que estés en la finca y no tienes mucho espacio en tu equipaje. Es fácil comprar botas en el Puyo, y hay muchas ya en la finca. Yo dejé botas en tamaño 9.5W.
