We are a regenerative agriculture teaching farm in Southern Ecuador. We have offered a Permaculture Design Certificate Course since 2014 in Ecuador; and in many settings and countries globally since 1990.
We love working with volunteers that have chosen organic / regenerative lifestyles and work-paths; and want to increase their hands-on learning through direct involvement.
We are very involved in several community projects here; and helped start the Vilcabamba Organic Market; and the Council for Community Collaboration.
Spanish classes are an option with an excellent local teacher at a cost of US$5 per hour during your time off.
We will help you get here; providing information about accessing public transportation. Please have a good look at our website to familiarise yourself with our projects and to see if our focus is a match for your desired learning.
