Detalhes

Tasks are hands-on and varied, and no special experience is required—just motivation and respect.

The area is not remote, but transportation isn’t always simple. We recommend renting a bike or car. When possible, we’ll offer rides into town.

Be prepared for warm, humid weather and a tropical environment where mosquitoes and harmless jungle insects are part of everyday life. We provide a cozy private loft and breakfast.

Atividades & Turnos

Volunteers will help maintain La Aldea in its daily needs, a jungle-based home with lots of greenery and open spaces. Tasks may include:
• Gardening tasks include watering, pruning, transplanting plants, and raking leaves.
• Cleaning shared areas (kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor spaces)
• Painting, waterproofing, and light construction (like stone fences)
• Organizing storage spaces and general upkeep

The exchange is for 5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week. There is flexibility with the schedule—as long as responsibilities are fulfilled and communication is clear, volunteers can arrange their own work times and rest days.

We value honesty, commitment, and teamwork, and we’re happy to adapt to each person’s rhythm when there’s mutual respect and flow.
