I felt welcome from the first moment. David has a kind and open personality. I did different kind of tasks: I worked in the garden, made a slinger with flags as decoration, builded a dog house with recycled wood,... I like change, so for me it was nice like this. I received love from David, from his cute son and from the animals in the house. I had a great time. Thank you all!

I was able to learn a lot from David and Mallku, his 4-year-old son, especially about myself. How he follows his heart project with little means and the challenges of life is incredible. Always with calm, confidence and love.

This was my first experience at WorldPackers and it completely exceeded my expectations. David is an incredible host, with excellent knowledge in his area, a sincere heart and empathy for any situation. The food was prepared as a team and was always delicious, the tent was very comfortable and the experience was amazing. I connected in an incredible way with other volunteers, I had the opportunity to get to know nearby communities, be in contact with nature and participate in ancestral medicine ceremonies. Thanks David the project! I will carry an unforgettable memory in my heart.

The project is a great place to connect with nature, and recharge with delicious vegetarian food. I enjoyed the peace and quiet. David is a very patient and motivating host, and I was proud of the work. A great opportunity to practice Spanish or English as you wish. Clear expectations for the work, and nice to feel like part of a family. It's worth noting that the project (being a permaculture eco-project) is not in the city centre :). Volunteers should make sure they have everything they need before the stay. Also could be lonely if you need a lot of socialising. Thanks to all!
