How to get to Marquina 
It is best to arrive to the Cochabamba Airport. If not possible, it is ok to arrive to La Paz or to Sta. Cruz, but it gives you a 6 and 8 hour bus ride if you arrive to these other cities.
When in Cochabamba, you take a cab to Quillacollo which is 13 km away from Cochabamba. The cab costs about 5-6 $us. 40-45 bolivianos.
When in Quillacollo, it is best to call a radio taxi called Integración
phone number: 44263030 you ask for any cab that knows us and will take you to:
La Iglesia de Guadalupe en Marquina. The operator knows us well, so you just can say that you want to go to La familia Hidalgo en Marquina and she will send a cab who knows the place.
The cab from Quillacollo - Marquina costs 20 bolivianos 3 $us and the ride is only 5,5 km but on a not so good road like the one from Cochabamba to Quillacollo.
If you still are not sure you can make it this way and you feel you are all alone in the world...give us a call...we will send you a cab to pick you up or we can arrange to pick you up with a special car if you are willing to pay for it. The phone numbers are: 72723461 or 79720965.
When in Marquina, knock on the black door beside the Guadalupe church which is the center of the village. Ask for Enrique and please wait for him. The black door beside the church is my house, you can wait there if you like and see the place. That is a perfect example of a permaculture garden. My parents home is in the same land 30 meters away from my house. The ecocenter lies 250 meters away from the church.
When you meet any of us, you just sign your contract, it is best to do it at your arrival so we can keep record of the dates and make the food lodging arrangements, it is also adviceable to pay for the month(s) you will stay. We will give you your cabin key and if there are not too many volunteers at the ecocenter when you come you may even get a cabin of your own, if not you will have to share it with another volunteer.
