Who are we?
We are a Swiss-Peruvian family living on a nice farm on the north coast of Peru

What are we doing?
We do have lots of animals and planting our fields. We do have typical Peruvian Paso horses and are offering riding tours to the inca pyramids and worlds largest dry forest nearby.

Where do we work?
Our farm is on the north coast of Peru in the department of Lambayeque. We are a 5 minutes walk from a small village where you can get almost every thing, there are butcher, bakeries, pharmacies and lots of grocery shops. It is a nice village where you can feel very safe even at night.

Our mission/vision:
We are taking care of the environment and the animals

Who are we looking for? 
We are looking for volunteers to help us taking care of the animals, training our typical Peruvian Paso horses and guiding our visitors to the pyramids of Preinca culture

Why choose us? 
Our farm is a beautiful place full of animals and nature where you will feel at home!
