There is always something to do in a project of this size and complexity. You can learn useful skills, improve your knowledge on a range of subjects and learn some Spanish . Here are the main areas in  which you will be involved:-

​

The Farms

The farm consists of multiple growing areas,  known locally as Chackras . You will help with opening up new chakras, soil preparation, planting,  weeding  and harvesting. 

​

The Green Houses

These are for either growing plants from seed before transplanting elsewhere, or for the production of vegetables for use in the kitchen.  You will be involved in soil maintenance, seed setting, transplanting and harvesting.

​

Fish Farms

We have two piscigranas  with four different breeds of fish, each which also incidentally support turtles and frogs.  The majority of the work is done when harvesting fish for kitchen use or the market. 

​

Medicinal Gardens

We have a collection of medicinal plants which needs regular attention, but we are also looking to add plants to our collection, which will involve preparing new beds for their propagation.

​

Bee Hives 

The stingless Melipona Bees are a very special variety, regarded as sacred by the Mayans.  They produce honey prized for its medicinal properties, and we would welcome apiarist who know, or wish to learn, about them to help us to nurture and expand our colonies.

 

Building Projects

​The principal village (for those coming mainly for Ayahuasca Ceremonies) has five completed casitas, three basic  and two superior, and three more are projected to complete the village.

You would help in clearing the sites, transporting the chainsaw cut wood  ( physically demanding  work which may take you quite deeply into the forest, under the supervision of our permanent staff to find the fallen trees which we normally use) and labouring work for the construction.   If you are competent with a chainsaw that would be great , though we would need proof of certification and insurance for that otherwise you will not be allowed to use them.

​

Bushwhacking - path clearance

If you are competent with a machete and strong enough to pull up some roots this job is for you. If you are not experienced with a machete you would be taught how to use one safely!

 

Kitchen/ House Keeping

Our excellent cook /house keeper (Aurora ) might need a little help now and then, especially if we are full or she is making her delicious ice cream/lollies! Duties will include the preparation of ingredients for her to cook,  transporting food to guests who wish to eat in their casitas, washing up, some laundry and assistance with the herb garden which she tends.

​

​

 

 Here is the deal:-

 

 A minimum stay of one week, normally working morning shifts only, Monday to Saturday from 8.00 am till around 12.30 pm, with all of Sunday free. If space is available, you may join the organised trips we arrange for guests.

 

$300 per person, per week, first week payable 30 days in advance. Subsequent weeks payable in cash at the start of each week. We would like a week's notice of your intention to leave (or your desire to stay for extra weeks )

 

We provide transport between Iquitos and RA plus meals; full cooked breakfast and lunch with light evening meal/snacks.

Accommodation in the Blue House with your own bedroom and a bathroom shared with a maximum of two other people.

 

Other activities -  subject to availability and numbers, you can join in Ayahuasca ceremonies with the full paying guests and do light work in the afternoon on the day following a ceremony.  

 

This is a great opportunity to work with the local people, to learn/improve your Spanish, to use and improve any skills you have and to learn new ones. Joining in Ayahuasca ceremonies is a major benefit.

Let us know if you have any particular skills or interests and we will try to place you appropriatly.
