    Typical day

    The activities are 12 hours a week, 3 hours a day, thus being a balance with rest and enjoyment of the place where we are.

    A typical day at Eco Vida is to start the day with a good breakfast, and then go out to carry out the activities planned during the day, considering the needs of the environment and weather conditions. 

    After carrying out the activities, each person can choose what to do in their free time, planning it individually or with the team and/or colleagues. 

    We always meet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, unless the collaborator has a personal plan in their free time.

    One day a week we plan to visit a place as a team. 

    On free days you can access suggested tours at an additional cost, or explore and/or visit the place you want on your own. Any option is a personal expense.

    In residential tasks, as in any family, we help each other to maintain order and cleanliness in personal space and shared spaces.
