Pambasinchi is not for everybody, we strongly suggest that applicants read the conditions and realize that Pambasinchi is not the Ritz hotel. It's not true that the working requirement is for 7 hours a day, this volunteer hardly worked 2 hours per day with a bad attitude. We are quite flexible regarding the amount of work requesting a minimum of 5 hours a day. Otavalo is 17 minutes away and a taxi cab will cost only US$ 8. Of course, it is people's choice to socialize or not with persons that do not pertain to the countryside and its values. Finally, regarding food, we are not willing to satisfy everybody with their unique food requirements. Certainly, we do not offer lobster or caviar. Food is the responsibility of each volunteer, we do provide basic food fruit bread, and eggs for breakfast. Until now, for about ten years we received around 80 volunteers. Most of the volunteers were happy to share our experience with nature and horses. That kind of people with real values, and respect for the countryside and horses will be always welcome.
