VOLUNTARIADO HOSTAL

We always need a volunteer to help out in our Hostal for minimal 6 weeks (or more) in the beautiful, diverse area of Samaipata, the position is open year round and there are no fees - please contact us for availability. The work as a volunteer is five days a week so two days free, working hours from 13.00 onwards. This sounds very strictly, but in practice, it's very flexible. You can speak/agree with us whenever you want to go on a hike, tour or go anywhere.

Working in Andoriña means mainly being available for telephone calls, receiving people, visitors, preparing small food like pancakes, juices, coffees, etc. Also inform visitors and once in a while open the door for night visitors from Sucre, and help with cleaning when it's really busy.

You'll feel there's little distance between us, you and our guests. Most of the day there's music, in the morning tranquil, silence between 13-15.00, and more lively music in the afternoon and night. We have balconies, hammocks, and a small private room & bathroom for you, breakfast and use of the kitchen is included (sometimes we can cook together). You should speak English, reasonable Spanish (if you do not, please don't react) and maybe other languages. The town of Samaipata always maintained its tranquility but there're several places of music, bars and plenty of good restaurants.

In Andoriña you'll meet Marleny (Samaipateña, in the morning), Estefany (Aiquileña, in the afternoon), Andres (Dutch), Doriña (Samaipateña) and her sisters Marina and Yerlinda. It's a perfect option to enjoy Bolivian life amidst a wonderful climate and see some of Latin America's most diverse areas, due to very different landscapes and microclimates. Samaipata has a music school where it's possible to take lessons and also give classes ! We stimulate people to integrate themselves in our team and in the village life. Don't react if communicating in Spanish is still quite difficult for you. You can write us to noilenna@hotmail.com

Voluntariado sostenible en una finca orgánica arrancando

Detalles: esta es la primera fase de crear un ejemplo de vivir y cultivar en una manera sostenible para varias comunidades cercanas en la hermosa zona del bosque nublado. La ubicación es impresionante; son 11 hectáreas en un pequeño valle escondido bajo el bosque ´Yunga´ húmedo, con vistas inolvidables. Gracias a un microclima cultivamos más que 15 (!) frutas y muchas verduras, entre otros frutas silvestres.

La altura del lugar es 2000 metros y en la comunidad viven 20 familias. Entre ellos una pequeña familia te ayudará y guiará en los trabajos como voluntario.

La idea es que los voluntarios ayudan en los jardines 4 horas diario y pagan un pequeño monto diario (21 Bolivianos diario = 3 U$) para la familia atendiendo y para la cama y servicios: hay ducha, baño ecológico y sauna que puedes usar. Cuenta con cocina y se puede hacer lindos paseos fuera de leer, relajar, meditar y tocar tu instrumento si tienes. Alguna experiencia en la pequeña agricultura es recomendado, especialmente en el año 2010. La mínima estadía es dos semanas.
