The place was beautiful, quiet, peaceful. I learned a lot about the culture and the nature. The people where amazing! I had a lot of time to relax, time to myself to read and write. The food was delicious, thank you mamá! It's a place where you're the only volunteer, which you should like. Thank you for the experience, Alberto and paola!

Sencillamente hermosa, mi experiencia en el proyeto fue muy nutritiva tanto personal como social y ambientalmente. Aprendí principios de permacultura y sostenibilidad, es un lugar hermoso rodeado de todo el esplendor de la naturaleza (incluido un cachorro loquillo al que ya extraño🥹). El anfitrión estuvo pendiente desde antes de mi llegada y me hizo sentir muy segura, me acompañó en cada proceso, me sentí muy cómoda. Las personas allí son tremendamente amables y las pláticas con ellas muy interesantes. Un pedacito de mi corazón se queda en el proyeto, gracias por tanto♥️

Querido Alberto, y otros viajeros, Mi estancia con Alberto, Kasi y Valentina en el proyeto fue increíble. Alberto sólo hablaba español, lo que fue genial para mejorar mi nivel. El proyecto de permacultura en el proyeto fue realmente honesto y genial. Plantamos árboles, maíz, frijoles y calabaza. También ayudamos a construir una casa, dormimos en una linda casita e hicimos un ritual espiritual :D Quien quiera disfrutar de la naturaleza y aprender cosas interesantes, ¡que venga aquí! Gracias Alberto

Lo pasé muy bien con Alberto y Paula en el proyeto. Es un lugar espectacular. En el medio de la montaña con mucha biodiversidad. Con aves cantando es un lugar para relajarse y conectar con la naturaleza. Aprendí sobre bio construction y permacultura. Pero lo más importante es el camino espiritual sobre cuyo me llevó Alberto. La gente de Herveoe es muy simpática y generosa. No duden en ir a apoyar el proyeto ! Muchas gracias Veto. Un abrazo amigo.
