Volunteer & Internship

Our volunteering or internship program is very flexible. The main goal of the program is to achieve a fully exchange of cultures to improve understanding among people while protecting nature.

Our new volunteering program gives you the possibility of helping in our forest project. We are reforesting an area of 20 hectares with native trees and medicinal plants and plan to expand this activity to close by areas. The activities vary from collecting plants in the jungle, building a plant nursery and planting the collected trees, medicinal herbs and flowers, to help maintaining the work who has been done before. You will make all the work in coordination with Huasquila and local people, who have the knowledge about plants and their uses.

Our internship program is more directed to participate on the tourism activities such as guiding, gardening and working in an Ecuadorian small sized company with family atmosphere. Your will learn how to run a tourism business, lodge, marketing tourism products, etc.

In any program you will be in constant contact with the local people and your work includes teaching them in your mother tongue language as well as introducing them to your country’s customs, etc. This is the best way to share with local people and really get to understand other cultures and customs.

If you wish you can make a combination on activities (volunteering and internship).
As you can see we are very flexible and just want to give you the opportunity of helping in a way that you can also benefit from while helping us to protect the nature and culture of this beautiful region.

For both volunteering and internship we have the following structure:

1. You contact us and tell us your special fields of interest.
2. We check on availability and if we are right for each other.
3. We plan together your field of work.
4. You come and enjoy your stay with us.
