It was a really beautiful experience where I could meet people with a big heart sharing music and experience. It was really nice because I had time for myself and also for enjoying the nature and the place. I recommend to come to this place

I stayed at the host with Aureliano for two weeks. During this time I could practice my Spanish a lot, enjoy the magical nature around and get to meet many people as the clients who book the host change almost everyday. Las Vegas is a really small and calm village in the middle of the mountains. In my free time I went on hikes or to nearby villages by bus. At some points I would have wished for a bigger variety of tasks as I was "just" cleaning almost the whole time. Sadly the space for the volunteers wasn't really private nor cozy when I was there, which is being improved right now.

Volunteering at the camping was DEFINITELY a major highlight of this trip in Argentina. Pablo was extremely helpful, patient, and compassionate, and became our close friend in a very short period of time. He had us help with cleaning, housekeeping, and other tasks, and our free time was spent enjoying the views and space that the camp has to offer. Incredible experience, 10/10 recommend :)

It was an interesting experience and the community is really nice. Since we were the only volunteers (my boyfriend and I) at the moment, and Aureliano didn't sleep often in the house, we stayed some afternoons and nights alone in the camping site. But I did enjoy the work and the volunteer experience is really fair.
