The experience I was lucky enough to have was magnificent. Not only was I able to encounter a place above all expectations, but to welcome me I found extremely kind people (even two very sweet dogs and cuddly sheep) who integrated me as if I were family, teaching me all round the slow and simple Chilote life, with full respect for nature and its inhabitants. A part of me will always remain attached to this place. The working and emotional cooperation was wonderful. Moreover, I was able to continue my service thanks to the willingness and openness of the hosts. Thank you with all my heart!

Allesandro, poder conocerte y compartir contigo a dejado un antes y un después en Tubildad!, para el resto de los futuros world packers que vendrán, escucharan mucho hablar de ti!. Para nosotros como anfitriones nos dan mas ganas de seguir recibiendo voluntarios después de terminar esta temporada con una persona tan amorosa, linda como tu. Mil gracias por tu aporte, tu huella quedara siempre en Tubildad y en nuestros corazones.

I can't say that I would recommend this experience to a solo female traveler. I enjoyed the work maintaining the land and caring for the sheep but I struggled to connect with most other volunteers and the hosts as their priority is the restaurant and they spend the days there. There is a kitchen with limited food provided. There is a set schedule for working hours which isn't necessarily bad but was not communicated to me prior to arrival. Javier was great to work with and was patient with me. Unfortunately I did not feel comfortable here despite it being a beautiful place.

Zephyr was an excellent worker.
Unfortunately, due to lack of communication on her part, she had a problem with another volunteer and that is why she felt unsafe. She never told us anything so of course we couldn't help her.

Our house, town and island are very safe. 80% of our volunteers are women traveling alone and they leave grateful for the experience.
And regarding food, we ask each volunteer to make a weekly food list and what is request is delivered to them.
We hope you are okay.

Este lugar es un paraíso, alejado de la ciudad y rodeado de naturaleza. La vista es increíble, perfecta para desconectarse y disfrutar del entorno. Paz y Ricardo me hicieron sentir como en familia, cocinan delicioso y siempre están dispuestos a compartir sus conocimientos. Me la pasé increíble con los perros, llenos de energía y cariño. Las actividades fueron enriquecedoras, aprendí muchísimo y cada día fue una experiencia especial. Sin duda, un lugar que recomendaría a cualquiera que busque tranquilidad y aprendizaje.
