The property is beautiful. Hermann lives alone and has two super cute dogs. I worked on varied tasks from weeding and carrying wood to cooking and cleaning. Sadly I left early becase I personally found it difficult to communicate to Hermann who is a passionate person ultimately well intended. You might love his artistic free spirit! Feel free to reach out for more info.

Herman es un hombre muy agradable, las tareas a realizar eran diferentes así que algunas estuvieron más tranquilas que otras sin embargo todo fue muy ameno... A la hora del almuerzo todos los voluntarios y el anfitrión preparábamos y comíamos juntos, era un momento muy chévere en donde puedes escuchar y aprender más sobre la vida y el mundo... Me gustó mucho haber ido allá y claro que me gustaría volver... Gracias 😊

Experiencia muy gratificante..! Herman es un personaje muy característico de argentina, compañero muy activo y elocuente. Si querés una experiencia en un pueblo muy pintoresco y la calma lejos de la ciudad este voluntariado te va encantar. Muy poca contaminación lumínica, cielos hermosamente majestuosos. La casa está llena de pedacitos de arte por todos lados, y es muy agradable trabajar en equipo. Almorzando en equipo con muchas de las verduras del propio huerto y algunos paseos por los pueblos aledaños.muy recomendable.!

La casa es muy interesante, linda y me sentí muy recibida. Las tareas fueron variadas, junto con otros voluntarios ayudamos a Hermann a construir una estructura y aprendimos a usar las herramientas, las demás tareas fueron de limpieza y orden de su laboratorio y la casa. Cuidan el medio ambiente, así que todos colaboramos con el reciclaje, el compost, el cuidado del agua y la energía, la comida sale del huerto y de productores locales así que se come bien! Gracias Hermann y Rio por recibirme, fue una gran experiencia.
