I absolutely loved my time at tekoatí! The team are super friendly and lovely!! We even organised a weekend trip to Amboro with Alfredo which was a super fun experience! I loved the work, it was always varied and divided into peoples abilities or what tasks we wanted to do on the day. The tasks ranged from easy to hard work. The team were very patient with my Spanish and helped me to improve! Homemade vegetarian/vegan lunches everyday, the kitchen was always well stocked with food to make breakfast and dinner. Thank you so much tekoatí for making my first volunteering an incredible one ❤️

I loved staying and working at Tekoatí. The place has a very welcoming atmosphere, you have your own room and you can move freely through the surrounding jungle as you please. It's incredible to live with the constant concert of insects and to discover new animals every day. I enjoyed very much working with and learning from the interesting people at Tekoatí and to get a bit of an insight into their projects and ways of problem-solving. Thanks so much for the good time, the occasional outings and the personal attention!

Here u will not only do activities like maintenance, signaling and painting/ decoration. we were mostly cooking and cleaning, making beds for the guests... Just in a few days we were doing gardening! I want you to know in advance ;-) I loved my time here anyways, because Anju and the whole team are absolutely nice. they helped us with problems with passports and bank, was great!! If you don't speak Spanish it might be hard for you, but you can use the library and the projector for movies, music instruments etc. the structures are amazing! I felt at home here. I'm going to miss all .

La experiencia fue muy bonita. La fauna del subtrópico que habita en Tekotaí es muy diversa. Los trabajadores son de diez. Compartimos todos muy buenos momentos. El trabajo no es duro. Se implican mucho con que te sientas agusto. Salgo muy contenta de mi primera experiencia. Les doy de nuevo mil gracias Fd: La chica barniz
