Viver essa experiência foi maravilhosa! A montanha é mágica, o Refúgio é mágico! Amei tudo e principalmente aprender ainda mais o espanhol local. Tive oportunidade de fazer novas amizades e aprender novas tarefas. O Sr Manuel é uma pessoa muito amável e super responsável com todos e com as regras e horários dos voluntários. A comida é muito rica e maravilhosa 😍. Toda a equipe que trabalhei foi maravilhosa 💛💛💛. Obrigada e até a próxima. Abraço

Desde el momento en que fui aceptada hasta el último día Verónica y Manuel fueron muy atentos, amables, cordiales y me acogieron de la mejor manera posible, siempre atentos a cualquier duda que tenia. Siempre se cumplió con lo acordado en la comunidad. Mi experiencia con ustedes fue muy enriquecedora desde la cultura local hasta el crecimiento personal, vivir un tiempo en la alta montaña me enseño a reconstruirme, .aprender algo de construcción básica, prender la chimenea desde cero y como mantenerla :), tratar la naturaleza de manera consiente y dejar un pequeña huella en este lugar.

Foi uma experiência incrível, meu primeiro voluntariado no refúgio. Fui acolhida como filha, tinha tudo que eu precisava, os horários das tarefas foram cumpridas corretamentes, as tarefas eram bem simples, o lugar é mágico e a comida deliciosa. A montanha é magnífica e os animais lindos. Me apaixonei pelo Rúcio (dog que eles criam) e já bateu saudade. Levarei eternamente em meu coração o carinho da Vero e do Don Manuel 💕. Super indico voluntariar no refúgio. Espero voltar! 😍
