My experience in Codo del Pozuzo with Semilla's Life was unforgettable! The students were friendly and keen to learn . Teaching and seeing their progress was very rewarding. Codo is relaxed and friendly. I always felt safe.There are shops and restaurants and food shopping is cheap. The house is basic but the kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are very comfortable. I loved the jungle sounds at night. The locals who looked after us were lovely! They took us on trips to the jungle and Dora even invited us to her home for lunch. We became good friends and laughed a lot! 😁 Highly recommended!

I had an amazing time getting to know this wonderful little village. The landscapes there are stunning , it really is a small piece of paradise. Alle the people of the village are very friendly as well, but I would specifically like to thank Hans and Dora to immerse me in the lokal culture and entertain me in the free time. Also, it was a very good experience to improve your spanish. I was happy to already have some basic spanish knowledge to be able to connect with the locals and the students in class. They are all very lovely people !

Dora, Hans and Christian are lovely people! We enjoyed the accommodation and the proximity to the Main Street. There's some great local restaurants around. Unfortunately it was school holidays for most of our stay so we only taught 4 classes in our 2 weeks there. It's a quiet town with not a lot to do. Hans showed us a great part of the river which we walked to and swam in everyday. Our Spanish is only at a beginner level so it did present as quite a challenge at times. The weekend activities with Dora and Hans are super fun, and the kids are also super lovely.

We stayed in the town of Codo, met the lovely hosts, went on some fun adventures and did some teaching. I would recommend this to people interested in branching out of their comfort zone to engage in something meaningful.

We taught for 3 hours Mon-Thurs with 3 different classes which was so fun! I loved teaching them and really enjoyed myself in the classroom as well. This was 1 hour in the am and 2 hours in the evening. However, for the majority of the day there was nothing to do so I was bored, therefore I would recommend this more for someone who is a digital nomad or has things to do online during the day because there isn't much to do at all. However on Fri, Sat and Sun we would go out on excursions with Hans which was super fun!! I loved getting to explore the town and the Amazon, and meeting his family!

I had such a great time here. Neyer, the host, was lovely and did so much with us, taking us fruit picking, to beautiful natural swimming pools and even showed us how to make chocolate. The teaching days are tiring but well paced, with teaching in the morning and a long break in the middle of the day before things resume again in the afternoon. The kids can be a handful but they are also a lot of fun, very friendly and very eager to get to know you. There is also plenty of time to explore the little town, and I felt very safe doing so :)

Working with the organization was an amazing experience! The people there really want to share their culture and you live like locals. We did a lot of games with the kids which was really fun. You only have to teach on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so on the other days there's time for adventures in the jungle. Nayer took us to beautiful places where we could swim in the river. I love that I got a sense of the culture because it's a lot different from my own. I also really felt relaxed during my stay. I would definitely recommend this experience!

I had a great time in Puerto Inca volunteering with the organization over the past 2 weeks. It is a place you wouldn't otherwise visit as a tourist and as such a unique experience. Monday to Wednesday is when you teach the children, which can be overwhelming at first but quickly adapted- the kids are amazing, and so welcoming to all the volunteers. You get a lot of free time in between where the organization take you on trips into the jungle which were loads of fun to enjoy along with the other volunteers
