Foi uma experiência incrível! O Alex, que administra o local, é um excelente líder e um cozinheiro excepcional. Ele está sempre disposto a ajudar nas tarefas e demonstra um grande cuidado com os voluntários. Além disso, tivemos bastante contato com os cavalos, o que foi uma experiência muito especial. O mais enriquecedor, porém, foi a imersão na cultura local. As tarefas são simples e tranquilas de realizar, tornando a estadia ainda mais agradável. Foi ótimo passar esse tempo aqui!

I stayed two weeks at the lodge and it was absolutely amazing, 100% recommended! Before going you should know and consider that pick up cannot always be done, since it's far away (~1h) and weather condition may not permit it (during winter), and you would have to pay for the taxi. But apart from this, since when I arrived until the very last day,it was a wonderful and immersive experience that allowed me to learn lots about horses, how to ride them and also manual work. You have to be willing to work hard if you want to come here, but I tell you that it will be fulfilling and unforgettable!

Overall the experience was good, thanks to the other volunteers, the horses, and the beautiful farm setting The hours worked can be more than described, but that's expected on a farm. Hard-work but fun and rewarding. The job you apply for may not be exactly what you end up doing, as it depends on what's needed and the roles of other volunteers. General help is required, such as cleaning guest rooms and bathrooms or organizing outdoor areas The farm is far from the city, so it's unlikely you'll leave it There are a lot of organizational problems with the host, as well as communication issues

Do not underestimate this work experience, if you are not ready to work hard almost all the time, this place will eat you alive. Pros: - You can take on a large variety of projects and there is opportunity to explore your own style. - Days off are respected if clearly outlined. Cons: - Unless you can manage to leave the farm, there's no real days off - This place is poorly managed by the owners, shortcuts are common and plans are often not thoroughly thought through. I had a lot of fun for my own reasons but I can see that this is not for everyone one.

El alojamiento es un lugar agradable. Inmerso en un entorno el alojamiento y rodeado de gente local. El ruido de la ciudad aquí no existe y se agradece. Las vistas del amanecer y atardecer, valen totalmente la pena. En cuanto al trabajo, a ratos es duro. Entre las principales labores que me tocó ejecutar están: limpieza y orden de bodega, construcción, preparación de alimentos y cuidado de caballos. Practiqué un poco mi inglés y conecté con hermanos sudamericanos con los cuales reí mucho. La energía y buena onda de los voluntarios fue espectacular.

LOTS of work, LOTS of fun. I volunteered here for one month and it was unforgettable. Pros: the other volunteers. They made this an extraordinary experience • the work: helping and riding the horses, and construction made my working time greatly enjoyable • food: always had a full belly, and a smile after meal. Meals NOT provided, only ingredients. Con's: • workload: 10-12 hours per day. Days off respected. •Living infrastructure: Limited Water in small reservoir filled by generator. •volunteer housing was okay- a carpeted room in a storage shed. • many listed benefits did not exist

Being at this farm was quite an interesting experience. Be surrounded and riding horses was the best part of it, but so was sharing moments and conversations with the guests and volunteers. The job can be quite hard due to the weather conditions (in winter) and the lack of running water sometimes. However the work was rewarded with great food and the chance to ride horses sometimes. I even got to be part of a music video from an artist who came to film it at the farm, which was an unbelievable experience! I thank everyone for this opportunity, with ups and downs but a nice one overall.

Mi primer voluntariado y la verdad, me pareció genial!! Aprendí bastantes cosas, el lugar es magnifico y el host hospitalario. Lo recomiendo para las personas que les gusta la aventura, que son hiperactivas y les encanta los retos y se consideran "todo terreno" y, (esto es una humilde opinión) tal vez no lo recomendaría mucho para las personas que buscan tareas tranquilas, predecibles y sencillas. Depende mucho de lo que se busca y de la actitud como se percibe la experiencia. En mi caso, me llevo una muy bonita experiencia, unas ganas enormes de volver y una inmensa gratitud con el host :)

I had a great stay at the ranch! The views from the mountains are beautiful, and during my stay, I met wonderful people who made my time there even more enjoyable. The work varies a lot depending on the day, so if you're not used to hard labor, it might take you a few days to adjust to the tasks at the ranch.
