Matìas is a great host, always smiling and available for everything. They were very beautiful months and I learned a lot, from his way of living and working with respect and dedication. Casa Veja is a charming place to stay, you can see that it was created with love, and Matìas puts passion in everything he does. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you Matìas for welcoming me into your home and your project! I will definitely come back to visit you as soon as possible! 💞

I had a great time volunteering at the guest house! I was helping with building a house using mud and recycled products, which was fun (and physical) experience! I felt comfortable and welcomed by Matias and the family. The food we had was delicious and healthy. Aside from that, we did fun activities like going for a swim in the river near by, playing football and many more. The location is a small remote village in a forest filled with native trees, which was beautiful and quiet. I would definitely recommend this volunteering experience!
