Puedo decir que fue una experiencia hermosa y desde mi lugar, necesaria :) Es una comunidad con personas muy cálidas y amables, te hacen sentir incluida desde el momento cero. Es un lugar muy grande y lindo donde se puede conectar con la naturaleza y los animales. Podría decir mucho más pero voy a resumir diciendo que amé la experiencia la comunidad <3

Hermoso lugar, hermosas personas. Un espacio para conectar con la naturaleza y aprender cómo la tierra nos da todo si la tratamos con respeto. Me divertí, aprendí y pude conocer la ciudad. Me voy con la intención de volver.

Lidia, Igor y Mariña son anfitriones excepcionales! El trato fue espectacular y la conciencia sobre la sostenibilidad no tiene comparación. La verdad que lo recomiendo en gran medida. Se aprende de todo y eso que realice sólo una semana por cuestiones personales y aún así me llevé muchísimas cosas de un universo de cosas por aprender en la comunidad 😊

Me quedé en un cuarto tranquilo y tuve tudo lo necesario para tener una estadía cómoda y confortable la comunidad esta lleno de vida, hay ovejas, gansos, gallinas, pavos, caballos, los perros y la gatita María Antonieta Gracias por todo Igor, Lidia, Varinea, Nacho y Seba, me sentí como en casa y disfruté mucho de convivir con ustedes 💙

Minha experiência não poderia ter sido melhor, Igor, Varinia e Lídia, fizeram tudo para que minha estadia fosse a mais tranquila possível, pessoas incríveis é extraordinárias e eles tem muito a ensinar, o quarto onde fiquei era muito bom, cama quentinha e tudo muito limpo, as atividades eram pesadas mas bem administradas para que fosse feito de uma maneira prazerosa, a fazenda é incrível um espaço gigantesco e cheio de animais para se ter contato, cachorros, ovelhas, galinhas, cavalos, gansos, etc… Muchas Gracias a comunidade ❤️❤️
