After exchanging numerous emails with Andres and Michelle we finally arrived in Ecuador and checked our messages to find an email saying "the sooner you get here the better" in our inbox, along with some bus directions to find our way to the Black Sheep Inn. The bus trip was about 6 hours half on a normal road and the other half on something that could only be called a road because cars attempted to drive down it!
The trip from Latacunga up into the Andean Highlands was bumpy to say the least but the views were amazing as the bus slowly wound its way through the mountains. The bus dropped us off just before the small town of Chugchilan, at the bottom of a pretty steep driveway, which we walked up very slowly with all our heavy bags to be greeted by Andres and Michelle from their treehouse overlooking the driveway.
After "getting the tour" and being shown to our room we found out a bit more about the place and what we would be doing as volunteers. It turned out that initially our job was going to be to try out all the local hikes and facilities
