Environmental Project in the Central Jungle of Peru in San Ramon

Details

Description

We have a beautiful peace of land in the high jungle close to the village San Ramon, in the province of Chanchamayo, JUNIN in Peru. I am Laura, 32 years old, and I studied tourist administration. I am creating an environmental project in our land, looking for volunteers from all around the world to help with the project and also enjoy being in the middle of nature at it´s best in the high jungle of Peru. Close by there is a beautiful and clean river to swim in, as well as natural pools to get refreshed. The climate is hot all year round, and in winter time (January-April) it rains, but is still hot. The work in the land is hard, and in winter time the working hours are flexible, depending on the rain (we can´t work when it rains hard).

I am looking for help planting plants and trees, taking out weeds, helping with the crops that we planted, building a special place using about 1000 glass bottles that have been recycled, creating an ecological botanical garden and designing a logo. I speak 5 languages (Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Hebrew), and I love listening to music, doing sports, meeting new people and traveling.

One thing to take into account – the road from Lima to San Ramon (and the Central Jungle) sometimes can get blocked due to mudslides or traffic accidents that may cause delays of the bus trip, so if this occurs you will need patience (this occurs quite rarley).
The arrival of volunteers to the project is Sunday or Monday

Accommodation

I have 3 rooms in our house inside the village of San Ramon, and provide bathrooms, showers and kitchen to our volunteers. I also provide 3 meals a day, usually traditional Peruvian dishes. Maximum 5 people can stay here at a time.
What else …

San Ramon is considered "high jungle", and is located 8 hours bus ride from Lima. The nature here is outstanding, with many waterfalls, diversity of animals and plants, butterflies and rivers. I have many recommendations of special and beautiful places to visit while staying here. The house where I host volunteers is in San Ramon- a small village, and our land (where the volunteer work will be done) is about 20 minutes outside of San Ramon.
How to get here: The only way to get here is a bus from Lima. Currently, the best company is "Movil Tours" (Movil Bus). Other companies that are ok: "La Molina" and "La Merced". You need to buy tickets Lima- San Ramon ahead of time (one day before is usually enough, but sometimes the buses get sold out). The company Movil Tours is the only company that sells tickets on the internet. With the other companies tickets can only be bought in cash at the agency (station) of the bus company. The address of the bus company "Movil Bus" is:

Avenida Javier Prado Este 1093 (Accross from "Clínica Ricardo Palma"), Lima.

In order to get to the bus station of the company, you can take a taxi or public transportation (I reccomend a Taxi in this case). Days before your arrive, we will arrenge all the details of the arriving in San Ramon. The address is Urbanizacion Primavera, Calle los Gladiolos 228 ( familia Parra)
A bigger city that's located just 10 minutes from San Ramon is "La Merced". Anyone interested in coming please write me the date you wish to come and about how much time you plan to stay because I can only host 5 people at a time.
All the volunteers help to cook every day for everyone, and we live as a community where everyone helps out with cooking, washing and cleaning.
Necessary equipment for the jungle: sunscreen, repellent, long working pants, long working tshirt, hat. All of these can be bought here just in case someone doesn't have or forgets to bring.
How many Workawayers can stay?

More than two
Hours expected

Maximum 5 hours a day, 5 days a week
This host charges a fee

Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allow this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteer‘s stay. (This will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents, “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.

10 soles per day (around 3USD) contribution

My time with Laura at the project was wonderful. Her land is amazing, directly at a beautiful strong river, surrounded by the typical mountains of the highjungle, with bananas, pineapples, mandarines, beautiful butterflies etc. The work can be physically hard, but it is awesome to work with your body in an environment like this. I had the chance… read more to participate in a great workshop about the construction with bamboo with a lot of interesting people and good energy. The work and life with Laura and Stefano, Lauras family and the other volunteers was a very nice, respectful and fun time. We started in the morning around 6-7 with a good breakfast which we prepared together, then we worked around 5 hours and then we had lunch all together – eather in a restaurant near by (where Laura pays for the food) or at Laura’s house. The evenings where mostly tranquilo, if you want you can prepare something to eat for yourself, or sometimes you do that together. On the weekends you may go to beautiful places all together in the nature, like amazing waterfalls etc. I can warmly recommend this project, thank you Laura:green_heart::sparkles::seedling:

Things you should know:
– Wonderful host
– Hard work
– SUPER cute dog!
– No wifi in the house
– Hammocks!

Laura is a properly fantastic host. My experience here might have been my favorite workaway out of the six or so that i have done so far. The work is hard (something I personally enjoy), and the jungle is absolutely stunning, with beautiful… read more hikes, nature, and waterfalls. You will get plenty of opportunities to explore the village and surrounding area, and Laura will occasionally invite you on weekend outings to places you wouldn't find otherwise. Selva, their dog, is extremely cute and friendly, and I got to spend loads of quality time playing and snuggling with her. Don't be afraid to make your needs known! I was there during a very busy time for Laura, but she always made time for me when I needed something, even letting me borrow her phone's wifi so I could communicate with friends and family.

You quickly settle into the rhythm of daily life in San Ramon. A typical day for us would begin around 6:30 (a bit later if it was raining), when we would make a breakfast of eggs, guacamole, fruits, and oatmeal. Following this we would head to the farm, occasionally leaving behind a volunteer to clean and prepare lunch. The work on the farm was a bit different while I was there as L was preparing for a workshop, but involved a lot of working with bamboo, clearing land/digging, and taking care of the fruit trees. Bug spray, long sleeves, and sun cream were a must for me. We would finish between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, depending on when we started, and go back for lunch. Laura occasionally buys everyone lunch at a local restaurant on work days if there isn't time to make it. The rest of the day is up to you, but I would usually relax in the hammocks, read and enjoy a beer from the corner store, or explore the area with other volunteers. Volunteers are often on their own for dinner, although L provides plenty of ingredients in the kitchen for us to use.

I think it's worth mentioning that Laura, experienced as she is with volunteers of other nationalities, strikes a great balance of Spanish and English if you want the practice, and is very clear in her speech. I think I learned more Spanish in my 3 weeks in San Ramon than in the prior 4 months of traveling and volunteering in other parts of South America.

I've spent 3 weeks at this beautiful place. Laura is such a lovely soul and her family is so nice and warm. The chakra is amazing, next to the river where you have natural music while working. Stephano Adela enzo are very friendly people and we had interesting conversations. I can't but mention the adorable dog Selva, I guess a big chunk of my… read more time was playing with her.
I helped Laura during the bamboo workshop she organized over 4 days and met so many beautiful people from all over Peru. We worked danced ate and laughed a lot.
The project has great potential and Laura energy is contagious, I am sure the project will make a big difference in the area.
We also participated in a street demonstration against the hydro companies that are abusing the rivers in the area.

I wish you all the best Laura and may we meet again.

I stayed only one week in la selva central with Laura, Selvita, Enzo, Stefano & other great people – too short of a stay. San Ramon is a beautiful high jungle and her chacra is full of life.

I'm a bit late to leave feedback but I stayed and worked with Laura, Maurie, and Enzo last April and had an incredible time! I had several road blocks get in my way before being able to head to their finca and they were super patient and understanding of my situation, still welcoming me and my friend Robin into their space with open arms when we… read more finally did arrive. Sadly Maurie and Laura were off on a trip for a majority of the time we were there but before they headed off we all had a blast at the best bar in town and danced the night away! Their a fun and lively bunch 🙂 We spent a majority of our time learning and working with Enzo. He was one of the kindest and wisest people I met on my trip, he had much to teach us about farming as well as many enlightening life lessons. The family also has connections with a restaurant in town that's got AWESOME food! We all went shopping together, headed to the finca together, and made our meals together. This host really gives a communal family feeling and I'd definitely consider visiting the sweet lil town of San Ramon to check up on these guys again. Thanks for the knowledge and the laughs 🙂

I stayed one week with Laura and the funny dog Selva! I loved working with Laura and the environmental project in the high jungle! It is such a nice area to spend your time and do something helpful! Sometimes it was a little bit hard work because we were building a bamboo house! Laura is such a lovely person and her family welcomes you very warmly… read more 🙂 In this region you can do also a few trips – unfortunately I had not that much time left so I did only one trip to a waterfall – and it was incredible 🙂

This was my second and favourite workaway experience and was exactly what I was hoping for!

Hard work in a unique area, welcomed into a family, and teamwork with other volunteers.

Laura, and her beautiful puppy, were incredibly welcoming from the very first moment we met. We soon got into the routine of having a delicious and nutritious… read more breakfast (usually fresh fruit from the land, porridge and quinoa) together before heading to the land. The work was usually challenging but varied. Tending to the crops, cleaning the land, construction, every day was different! Laura was happy to explain what we were doing and why and how it fits into her plans of permaculture.

After work we'd return for lunch together, usually rice/pasta with tuna and salad. In the afternoons we'd be free to explore the town, cook dinner for ourselves, hangout and socialise, or take a well needed siesta!

On the weekends we'd explore the beautiful surrounding areas, especially the waterfalls. There was a festival which Laura took us to with her family who were all also extremely welcoming.

Laura fully embodied the spirit of being a good host. I wish her and her family all the best with their plans and hope to return at some point in the future!

My time with Laura at the chacra was so lovely. It is a beautiful place in sweet town off the general tourist track. The work is in the hot sun and there is a lot of mosquitos but the work in the chacra is very manageable for anyone able bodied (just hard because of the heat). The nature and space is so nice the time passes quickly. There is no… read more wifi in the house, so it was so good just chilling out for a few days and not being on my phone (you can buy data if you need it) and enjoying the nature and adventures of San Ramon.
While I was there it was the first time working with bamboo for an upcoming workshop, this work was EXTREMELY difficult. This is not the normal work (it was not in the chacra) but the workshop, coming up in November sounds very interesting for anyone interested in eco structures and building with bamboo.
Selva (the puppy) is adorable and Laura and her family are lovely and I will miss this place un montón! Gracias Laura!!

San ramon is a small community where tourists are very uncommon, and has a terrain that is a mix Between the mountains and the jungle. While here, I enjoyed visiting the watering holes, rivers, waterfalls, and the slightly larger town of la merced located 15 minutes outside of San ramon.
Being here was an Awesome cultural immersion. You truly… read more become part of the community, working alongside the host on the farm. The hosts family is from here and have a house, which we lived in, and a restaurant, which we ate at. The accommodation is comfortable. My friend and I got our own beds in a room.
We had the opportunity to try traditional peruvian meals for some lunches. For dinner, we had freedom to use the kitchen, which is stocked with groceries from the market. Don't be afraid to make grocery requests. Breakfast is communally prepared and eaten. Usually we had a papaya pineapple banana smoothie, oatmeal with Toppings, and bread/eggs if you choose.
The month we were here, the town was honoring an ancient saint whose color was purple, so in celebration, the town had lots of chichamurado, a purple corn tea, which is grown in the andean mountains. It was very delicious. Also The week we came, Peru was competing to the world cup, and hadn't gone since 1986. So there was lots of exciting energy, and we watched the qualifying games with the host
Just beware that the farm is 20 minutes each way plus picking up materials. You can expect to have 6:30-3:00 of your day taken up. The farm grows papaya, oranges, bananas, and avocado. The work is definitely tough. While I was here, we constructed a walking path for the farm.
The 10 soles per day goes towards all meals eaten with the host, fresh groceries from the market, and materials for the farm project. The farm project aims at reaching out to and encouraging the community. I really enjoyed my time here. I learned a lot, worked hard, and felt totally relaxed with the beauty of the nature and town.

Wow, where to even begin!
This was my first ever workaway experience, and there was honestly no way I could have started better. I stayed with Mori and Laura for little over three weeks, and had the privilege and opportunity of not only working on their beautiful land, but feeling like being part of their family from the very first days.
You… read more will learn so much with these two! From not only working the land but learning to love it, planting trees, looking after hundreds of yucca plants, handling a machete, and yes, you will even learn how to make pisco sours and delicious food. I am a vegetarian and learnt how to make the vegetarian version of a lot of typical Peruvian dishes.

Now take this work and put it in a setting with incredible waterfalls, a jungle filled with all kinds of species of butterflies, in a town which remains virtually untouched from tourism from the outside. You will experience picnics with the family on weekends, dancing in the middle of the jungle, or running in the old town stadium as the sun goes up.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who is willing to work hard and who really wants to know how life in the 'high jungle' works!

Un abrazo to all the family, good luck with the Chacra guys.
