Loved everything about my time at La Comarca. Alex is the man! If you want to learn how to do something, he will teach you or give you the opportunity to learn. There's a variety of tasks to do every day so everyone can get involved, from helping to build domes to painting signs. You also get a lot of time to hang out with other volunteers, which makes the experience 100% worth it. I highly recommend it for anyone who's wants to meet people, reconnect with nature, learn, and have a good time. I only wish I could do it again!

Gracias por todo Alex!! This experience was one of the best moments of my life. I loved helping to build the domes and spend time with the volunteers. I recommend this volunteer project to anyone who is looking for a good time all while having the chance to learn about so many things!! DA DA DA ;)

Had a really great time at La Comarca! Full immersion in Spanish, which was a bit challenging at first, but you get used to it quickly and learn so much. It's a beautiful area near the jungle and the river. You get to fully participate in Alex's project whether it's cleaning, helping build a dome, or extending a parking spot, for example. 😌 I also had the chance to try mate for the first time! Alex is super nice, he makes you feel right at home. I'd absolutely recommend this experience and hope I can come back soon ! Loved it !

Choosing La Comarca to do my first volunteering was the best decision. The place is beautiful. The tasks are simple and fun. We have free time that we usually use to do activities together and get to know new places. Alex is a great host, he made us feel at home from the first moment. Highly recommended :)

I had a truly great time with the other volunteers – we became like a family, and these connections made my stay so special! The work was enjoyable, and the 3-hour schedule was respected. However, during my stay Alex was away, and Marco was in charge. Some volunteers including me experienced issues with his demands and lack of organization. As an English speaker with limited Spanish, I often felt left out of important information, even when I mentioned it many times.On my departure day, Marco didn't say goodbye, which left me feeling unappreciated despite the many positive moments of my stay.

I enjoyed my time at La Comarca and the property is beautiful. The tasks themselves aren't too difficult, but there were some issues. We weren't staying with Alex, the owner. Instead, his best friend Marco was running the place while Alex is gone. Marco is a great guy and he's trying his best, but I feel like we were taken advantage of. A lot of things on Worldpackers weren't the reality, like for example the workload and the amount of freedom we had. Overall still a good experience though

If you want to surrend yourself with beautiful nature and some cool volunteers this place is nice while doong some light tasks around 3 hours. However, be prepared volunteer rooms are not very comfortable and hot😅 better to discuss with the host before. I suggest from the first day try to understand all tasks as detailed as possible to avoid any confussion later. If you have the expectation to learn more about construction and surf on your free days I suggest make this clear to the host before you arrive :) Enjoy La Comarca :)

La Comarca is a pleasant place. When we arrived, we were supposed to stay in the volunteer rooms, but like all the other volunteers present, we quickly chose to stay in the domes ($20 per night). Unfortunately, during our stay, the vehicle provided was not working, which limited our ability to go out. Additionally, Marco, who welcomed us instead of Alexander, was injured after a fall. He couldn't take us to the bus stop or really assist us on the lodge, which complicated our stay. The work is simple but spread out throughout the day, so it's not possible to have a full free half-day.

I met a lot of cool people at la comraca and enjoyed my experience for the most part. Marco was great and did a good job filling in for Alex while he was on vacation

My time at La Comarca was good. Marco, who was a substitute host for his friend Alex was incredible, making our stay at the camp enjoyable. The hours were not long and we had time to get the bus to the beach ect. Here I was able to make many friends that I continued to travel with afterwards. Unfortunately there was some miss communication between Alex and the volunteers as we were unaware that both of the cars were broken and were unlikely to be fixed. We had to walk 40 mins to the bus (unachievable in the rain) Many of us left early because of this. However, we did enjoy the stay.
