Recomiendo la experiencia alla reserva. El proyecto de Edison y su familia es increible !! Ella reserva es un lugar maravilloso, una immersion total en la naturaleza. El trabajo cambia todos los dias : se puede cuidar de los senderos, sembrar arboles, cuidar della reserva, recoger cacao... Ademas con lo poco tiempo libre que tienen, te llevan a visitar lugares, a hacer tubing o tour de noche y se puede compartir con todas las generaciones de la familia. Gracias a todos, no voy a olvidar la Isla Anaconda.

Vivir la Experiencia en la reservaha Sido una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida si no la mejor. Amé el contacto con la gente local, muy amables, serviciales y dispuestos a transmitir sus conocimientos. Lo súper recomiendo además que es un lindo proyecto de emprendimiento familiar. La conexión con la naturaleza, el medio ambiente te reinicia la vida. Además de que aprendes a ver la esencia de la humanidad basada en valores que quizás en otras civilizaciones son más escasos.

Mi experiencia en la reservafue excelente. La familia Canelos es muy acogedora e hizo todo a su alcance para que siempre me sienta cómoda. La pasión que tiene Edison por su proyecto es contagiosa, además siempre está dispuesto a compartir todo lo que sabe sobre las plantas medicinales, sobre la fauna y flora del lugar, así como la cultura. Nos ha llevado en su tiempo libre a hacer actividades como tubing, caminatas nocturnas y una caminata por la selva de ocho horas que fue increíble. Fue un placer colaborar en este proyecto, espero poder volver pronto, gracias Edison y flia!

It was a really good experience ! 🙏🏾I really felt immersed and i learned a lot about Kitchwa . Despite my low level of Spanish, it went well overall. The volunteering with the family went well. We helped on taking care of the botanical garden, cooking and cleaning. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. However, I would have liked a little more clarity, especially concerning the additional activities and their prices. I recommend this experience

Non so nemmeno da dove iniziare, perché questa esperienza ha superato ogni mia aspettativa. Fin dal primo giorno, sono stata accolta con calore e con tanti sorrisi. In pochi giorni ho scoperto il valore della terra, dalla semina alla raccolta, ho assaggiato piatti locali deliziosi, mi sono avvicinata alla medicina ancestrale e ho conosciuto la cultura kichwa. Ogni giorno è stata una nuova avventura, un'occasione per mettermi alla prova e crescere. Questa esperienza è stata una delle più belle della mia vita. Sono profondamente grata alla famiglia Canelos!

I had a nice time here. It was a good way to spend a week with the family helping out in the garden and exploring the area.

I stayed at the reservefor 7 weeks I enjoyed my stay a lot, but would recommend this Programm only to people who speak Spanish of B1/ B2 level, otherwise it's hard to connect with the family since only the 3 sons can speak a little bit in English. Also expect to contribute in the household with cooking as well. Besides that it was a mind blowing expirience. I loved to learn all about the plants, the culture and the life on the island. The Family is really amazing and I had a really good time slowing down life, very peaceful. For 1/2 weeks I would absolutely recommend! < 3

We're very grateful to the Canello family for opening their house to us. Our first voluntary experience was however not what we expected. The place has cultivation and farming lands no wild jungle or mammalians/ hiking trails. Beginner Spanish or intermediate is not enough to connect with the family and we suggest changing the conditions . You will learn a lot about medicinal plants and how they are grown (don't expect partaking in any rituals) but the work is 100% gardening. We didn't feel that our work was appreciated and unclear communication regarding meals and expectations became too much

Fabulous experience in a nice Kichwa family of 5 people. The project is a real gem within the community, and sharing is the key word of the experience. We feel included from the participation of the project to the convivial moments in family. The family only speaks Spanish and Kichwa, so it can be a little difficult for a non-native speaker. However, they are very inclusive and make an effort to share their culture and traditions with you. I was the only volunteer for the first week and was joined by another for the second, so the experience is personal and far from the large group volunteerin

Anaconda Island is the most beautiful place I've ever seen, and the reserveis a magical botanic garden. Unfortunately, due to sudden health issues, I had to leave earlier than expected. I think a bit more communication is necessary about the living situation, especially what hours the water is turned off. There are no walls, so bring lots of bug spray! I was inspired by Edison's passion for the garden and enjoyed working with him immensely. I will never forget my time there.
