I really connected with the jungle during my four day stay in the shelter Chakram. I see Diego as more of a friend than anything else and I loved learning about the different plants and their uses. I left every meal feeling satisfied and full with Diego's wonderful cooking. Diego is a great teacher and loves to learn anything you can teach him in return. Unfortunately, we did not get to do much content creation like I imagined but I couldn't have wanted anything more out of the experience! I very much recommend staying here!

Our time here was absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful, in a jungle that Diego has put so much time and love into reforesting. He immediately became a friend of ours and was so kind to take us around to the locals and show us how life is for those in the jungle. We got to try new foods and really experienced the culture here. We have had so much fun here, I would recommend this experience to everyone!!!!

The experience as a whole was such a fun and great time. Diego Is a really solid and great host, allowing us to really feel apart of the community. Teaching us about their culture and indigenous history while also taking us around the jungle. He really brought the experience together and I cannot recommend it enough. Make sure you bring your bug spray though!

I was a volunteer for 5 days. We played volleyball with Diego's friends in the local community and shared some meals with them as well. We also went fishing with a net, hiked the rivers, and explored the jungle, and visited Puyo for a summer festival. The work in the morning was tough, but Diego is right there beside you working as well. Overall a nice, immersive experience and I learned a lot. P.S. Diego has four of the smartest and cutest dogs I have ever seen!

I stayed in the shelter for one week and I completely loved the experience. Diego invests his whole heart into his project. We went fishing, visited the indigenous community and explored jungle together. Very authentic experience!

I loved every second of my stay here! Deigo was super friendly and helpful. We stuck to a pretty consistent schedule of working in the mornings and some afternoon, then having down time the rest of the day. All meals were home cooked and a collaborative effort. It felt like a family! We always had fun things to do and there were all sorts of learning opportunities regarding the jungle and the culture. 10/10 recommend!

My girldfriend and I had a great time with Diego at Arutum the shelter! It was a great experience learning from Diego. My tasks involved shaving and sanding bamboo, carrying rocks for an infrastructure project Diego was building and weeding the garden. It was awesome to learn about how sustainable bamboo is and its uses! Each day/night we did unique activities such as going to the river, cacao ceremony, walking in the jungle, Ortiga plant ceremony, making pilche bowls. The fresh cooked meals and fruits were amazing and Diego was super tentative to all our needs. Thank you again Diego! ❤️

I had a really good time here. The food was amazing - we ate fresh fish and tried lots of new fruits and veg every day! With every meal we had homemade tea too. In the mornings we made breakfast and we worked from 8-12 before making lunch. For the work we were helping prepare the bamboo for the new project - sanding etc, and weeding in the garden. In the afternoons we did some medicinal rituals, walked to river and in the jungle, made our own bowls from a Pilche plant, did yoga and relaxed in nature! Diego was happy to show us anything we were interested in and answered all our questions.

My experience here was really good. It is a very beautiful area and pretty quiet so I took a lot of time to myself to relax and just enjoy being here. The work was as agreed and wasn't difficult. Communication was a little hard for me, but that's because I don't speak Spanish well so it was a great learning experience to be able to start recognizing the words people were saying. Facilities are simple but clean and the rooms were comfortable. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get away into nature for a bit and disconnect.
