Program Details

The help will vary, some days we will ask for help in the restaurant, helping prepare breakfast or dinner (always someone from our staff will be with you to guide you) and waitering. Other days maybe we will ask you to paint, clean and organize, repair or build things, garden, or maybe just be here in case a guest needs something. It'll be depending on your abilities and what we need in those days.
We give you a shared/private room, with a shared bathroom and shared kitchen with the other volunteers. It is a basic accomodation, NOTHING FANCY, but the surroundings are beautiful and you can use the same common areas as our guests. We are far from town and we don't have easy access to it($15 dollar taxi, 3$ dolar bus small schedule, 40 minutes biking), please consider this before deciding to come.

Activities & Shift

We ask for 4 hours shifts, 6 days a week. Normally shifts are 8to12, 13to17 and 17to21. We switch them around between all volunteers and depending what needs to be done. So it is 24 hours per week, one day off.

Rules

We expect you to be aware of the place you are coming to (a rustic eco lodge far from town), to be able to look and clean after yourselves and to follow our guidelines with respect an responsibility in the tasks we give you.
