Alex and Marco are more than just hosts — they become your friends and confidants. Alex himself was a volunteer, and you can tell; he's created a magical space where all of us volunteers can connect and form a true family. We have regular outings, and on workdays we do spontaneous things like movie nights, yoga, or whatever comes up. It's a wonderful, almost spiritual experience — which makes sense, considering Alex's resemblance to Jesus Christ. There's no way to repay all the experiences I've had the privilege to live in this place, thanks to such kind-hearted souls as Alex and Marco

I highly recommend going to La Comarca, especially for a first volunteering. This place and the people made me feel at home for a few weeks and that's the reason I decided to extend my stay. The volunteers' rooms are small but it's enough for the time you spend there. The daily task are easy, mostly cleaning, cooking and gardening. Working hours are very flexible and you still have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks to Marco and Alex, who are amazing hosts, attentive and available, I had an extraordinary experience and I would go back without any hesitation!!

Mon expérience à La Comarca a été très riche et intense. J'ai rencontré beaucoup de volontaires différents, de nationalités différentes : ce fut des rencontres mémorables ! L'endroit est très immersif dans les montagnes et il y fait bon vivre. Le travail été assez simple, mais intéressent et très lié à l'entretient du the lodge. Le manager Marco est quelqu'un de bienveillant et généreux, j'ai également pu rencontré Alex (le propriétaire) qui est vraiment l'âme de la Comarca, il fait toujours de son mieux pour faire de notre expérience un moment spécial. Je recommande !

It's a perfect place for those looking to escape the hustle of everyday life as La Comarca is a quiet place surrounded by nature. I met some awesome people there and I really enjoyed preparing and eating every meal together with the whole group, I feel like it brought us closer together. The volunteers' rooms are very basic, but it was all I needed. Unfortunately the car was broken down at that time, so we didn't get to see a lot of the neighbourhood, but we still managed to see a few places on foot or by bus. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!

I had a great time at La Comarca and met some really cool people who I'm still travelling with now! Marco was a great host who put extra effort in to making our experience fun and listening to us. Only disappointing thing was not being able to surf because the car was broken so we couldn't drive to the beach :( Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend the experience!

Wow… puuuuh, this was such a great experience! 🥳 This was my first time traveling alone and also volunteering, and couldn't have dreamt of a better place to be. I met so many fun people from around the globe, traveled with two of them and then I came back to La Comarca. Met another friend and traveled with her! And the host… Alex is amazing, he has everything under control and at the same time everything is so peaceful. So worth it and would come back (for the 3rd time😄) if I had the chance! 🙌

I had a great time at La Comarca! The property is surrounded by beatiful nature and there is a river right next to it where you can go to cool off. What makes the place special is the welcoming athmosphere the host Alex creates. I had a great time with him and the other voluteers and can definetly reccomend everyone who likes to be in nature and meeting new people to come to La Comarca. The tasks themselves and also the workload vary from day to day depending on the amount of guests, wheater etc. Alex leaves room for a lot of flexibility and also creative imput from the voluteers!

This was the best experience I had with worldpackers so far! Alex is a great host, communicative, and easy going. I felt very welcomed in La Comarca, and a big sense of community specially with other volunteers. The daily activities were easy to learn. We also had freedom to be creative in projects that were not the main tasks.We also ate well, and any work in the kitchen were always with someone else helping. My highlights about the place: *the fireflies every night, nature, collecting eggs from the gallinas (they are the sweetest), and access to the river.I would love to come back some day!
