Staying at La Comarca for three weeks has been a highlight of my travels these months. What a beautiful place it is, being surrounded by all sorts of nature and getting to enjoy it during your stay here. I was welcomed so warmly by the great team, especially Alex and his friends Belu and Lucas who run this place with a lot of grace. Them and the other volunteers became family so quickly. I even got to celebrate my birthday here which everyone made a great effort for! The work hours are perfect and flexible and I got to learn some new things. Hard to leave this gem!

Our experience in La Comarca was very lovely, we had so much fun and for our first volunteer was perfect, it is a nice place to visit, have fun and meet new people. The tasks were really simple you just work as hard as you can or else find some activities that you can do to improve La Comarca. About the hospitality it was great, the people there are so nice, they make you feel as part of a family (los queremos mucho Alex, Belu y Lucas🫶🏼) very enthusiastic people who take their time to explain what to do or how does it work. La Comarca is the place where you want to have your volunteer.

It was a really nice time for me at the lodge! I learned a lot new things and really liked to improve the property. The working hours are flexible and not too much. I can recommend to stay there for a longer time to see the improvement.

We had such an incredible time at La Comarca!!! The best workaway experience we have ever had. Alex, Lucas, Belen and the full team were all so great, we were so sad to say goodbye! The work was really varied and fun, and you have plenty of time off to enjoy the surroundings. the lodge is beautiful, we really enjoyed swimming in the river after working in the mornings and spotting all of the animals! Thank you SO much for having us - we are already counting the days until we can return to magical La Comarca once again ✨

We stayed almost 1 month and it was super fun ! We had the opportunity to meet a lot of amazing people, everyone was super kind and funny ☺️ About the work, there are a lot of tasks to do but you can decide if you want to work hard or not haha. With my boyfriend we chose to da lot of construction to create a new dome and improve the accommodation. The hours are quite flexible and respected The place is really in the nature and we can use the car to visit the area 🚗 There are so many cool things to see ! 🚨 I would definitely recommand to bring mosquito repellent Thanks for everyting 🫶🏼

La comarca is the kind of place you don't want to leave! I had an amazing time there, the people were very nice and always made me feel welcome. The place is beautiful and peaceful, the work is not hard and you'll always have help. Alex is an amazing host, super fun and respectful.

I would definitely recommend this experience. Alex and his friends were very welcoming and I really liked la Comarca. The work is pretty hard sometimes but it's not too much and there's plenty of time to rest.

I had an amazing time here! Alex is an amazing person and host. We received a list of tasks for the day and worked on them for a few hours in the morning. We cleaned the guests dome, made them breakfast, and helped out with other various tasks. There is a river that is so refreshing and we swam and floated in tubes everyday. Also expect to play a lot of fun card games including Durak in the afternoons and eat family-style meals together.

Alex is one of the funniest and most respectful guys I've met and I couldn't have had a better host for my first experience! The tasks are flexible and the working hours were respected. We'd wake up early in the morning and start our tasks, some of them were: prepare breakfast for the guests, bring rocks from the river, get bamboos, build things, clean the dome, keep the our place tidy, cut grass, etc. There is a lot of hardwork, if you are comfortable with it. Being at La Comarca felt like being with family. My favorite part was having all the meals together and learning to play durak :P

My experience in La Comarca was simply fantastic! I loved spending time with Alex and the other volunteers. In a short time, we became like family, which made the experience even more beautiful and motivating. The work is not heavy at all and is a lot of fun. You can come up with your ideas, but remember that if it's a good idea you have to find a way to develop it! Which is fun. Alex took care of providing us with everything we needed, was always available, and made us feel like we were really at home. I will miss La Comarca very much, I hope to come back soon. Thank you Alex :)
