Volunteering at the lodgewas such a unique experience! You are very immersed into the daily life of the family which provides an excellent opportunity to learn about their culture. A holiday occurred during my volunteer stay and the family made sure I understood their traditions and included me. We made pizza from scratch and after cooking it in the pizza oven we shared with the neighbors. The food is usually simple but tastes good and there's plenty to eat. Nelson was a lovely host and I enjoyed meeting all his family. I was able to improve my Spanish a lot with help from the family!

Nelson was a great host and I enjoyed my time staying with him and his family. My tasks involved painting a mural and helping the kitchen. I would recommend this experience for improving your Spanish as Nelson would sit and chat with us after dinner, speaking slowly and encourage us to speak in your begginer Spanish. Thank you Nelson for having me!

I had an amazing stay with Nelson and his family. I helped Nelson by teaching English classes and painting a Mural. The food was simple but always delicious, fulfilling and especially, made with love by the mother. Nelson was always there if I needed anything, always getting out of his way so I could discover the Huaraz region on my days off. Nelson and his family have great projects and they need our help fulfilling them so don't hesitate to stay a few weeks with them! You won't regret it. Special mention to the adorable pets, especially Marco. Muchísimas gracias!

I spent 3 incredible weeks with Nelson and Cristian! The work requested is always varied and rewarding with all the necessary explanations. the two brothers always make sure that we feel understood and supported, and offer many activities outside of working hours. this place is perfect to connect to nature and learn more about the inka culture!

I had a great time at Wilkathethe lodge. Nelson and his family treated me like one of their own and I had lots of time to explore the surrounding mountains and to go on day trips in the area. Great opportunity to practice Spanish, learn more about an interesting culture and to spend time outdoors. Highly recommend.
