Semilla's Life was an amazing experience- I felt like it was a true cultural immersion in a place that would be difficult to access otherwise. I was only able to come for 2 weeks, but my spanish improved so much. I had a lot of fun teaching as we were able to incorporate lots of games to help the kids with their english. The weekend activities were great, we went to the waterfalls, swimming, camping, made chocolate, and visited a local tribe. Many thanks to Hans, Dora, Mayorit for welcoming us into their lives and showing us the beauty of peru!! Christian is very supportive. I recommend:)

I had a fantastic time volunteering at the organization! I really enjoyed teaching at the school and working with the kids. It's amazing to see that you can actually leave an impact. Moreover it is a really authentic experience. The local family is incredibly lovely and took us on many different trips. Since there are no tourists you really live like a local. The nature of the Amazon rainforest is so fascinating as well. I became friends with all the other volunteers and the shared house is also a great place to live. Thanks again to everyone! I'm very grateful for this experience!

I had such a great time in Codo! The teaching was a lot of fun and both the kids and adults were so welcoming, motivated and appreciative of us as volunteers! Dora, Hahns and family made us feel so incredibly welcome and ensured we were very well taken care of! They also provided us with great opportunities to explore the region and also to feel apart of the community in an authentic way! I can't thank them enough as a family for the kindness they showed me throughout my stay!

My experience in Codo del Pozuzo with Semilla's Life was unforgettable! The students were friendly and keen to learn . Teaching and seeing their progress was very rewarding. Codo is relaxed and friendly. I always felt safe.There are shops and restaurants and food shopping is cheap. The house is basic but the kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are very comfortable. I loved the jungle sounds at night. The locals who looked after us were lovely! They took us on trips to the jungle and Dora even invited us to her home for lunch. We became good friends and laughed a lot! 😁 Highly recommended!

We taught for 3 hours Mon-Thurs with 3 different classes which was so fun! I loved teaching them and really enjoyed myself in the classroom as well. This was 1 hour in the am and 2 hours in the evening. However, for the majority of the day there was nothing to do so I was bored, therefore I would recommend this more for someone who is a digital nomad or has things to do online during the day because there isn't much to do at all. However on Fri, Sat and Sun we would go out on excursions with Hans which was super fun!! I loved getting to explore the town and the Amazon, and meeting his family!

I had such a great time here. Neyer, the host, was lovely and did so much with us, taking us fruit picking, to beautiful natural swimming pools and even showed us how to make chocolate. The teaching days are tiring but well paced, with teaching in the morning and a long break in the middle of the day before things resume again in the afternoon. The kids can be a handful but they are also a lot of fun, very friendly and very eager to get to know you. There is also plenty of time to explore the little town, and I felt very safe doing so :)

Working with the organization was an amazing experience! The people there really want to share their culture and you live like locals. We did a lot of games with the kids which was really fun. You only have to teach on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so on the other days there's time for adventures in the jungle. Nayer took us to beautiful places where we could swim in the river. I love that I got a sense of the culture because it's a lot different from my own. I also really felt relaxed during my stay. I would definitely recommend this experience!

I had a great time in Puerto Inca volunteering with the organization over the past 2 weeks. It is a place you wouldn't otherwise visit as a tourist and as such a unique experience. Monday to Wednesday is when you teach the children, which can be overwhelming at first but quickly adapted- the kids are amazing, and so welcoming to all the volunteers. You get a lot of free time in between where the organization take you on trips into the jungle which were loads of fun to enjoy along with the other volunteers
