Light construction projects (like firewood storage or a pyramid structure) 🛠️
Gardening and general maintenance of the land 🌻
Keeping outdoor spaces clean and welcoming

We’re in a quiet rural area with gorgeous views and a peaceful vibe — perfect for volunteers who enjoy being close to nature and unplugging a bit. The bus stops right outside and gets you to Cuenca in 40–45 minutes for weekend exploring! 🚌🌆


Actividades & Turnos

Shifts are split into morning and afternoon, with a break in between.
Breakfast and lunch are included on workdays.
On your 2 days off, meals can be provided for $3.50/meal if you’d like.
Optional laundry service is available ($3–$5 depending on the load).
You can enjoy the creek, hike around, or relax in nature during your free time 🌿💧

🤝 Respect the owners, guests, and shared spaces — the volunteer area is part of our home.
🔇 Quiet hours start at 9:00 PM.
🚭 Smoking allowed outside only, and only during break times.
