The Experience

El Santuario trabaja hace más de 12 años ofreciendo una vida llena de paz y dignidad a caballos que han sufrido distintos tipos de maltratos. Entre otras cosas, alberga equinos provenientes de programas de sustitución de la tracción a sangre, víctimas de abusos, abandono o incluso explotados en deportes o tradiciones. Con el tiempo se fueron sumando animales de muchas otras especies, todos sobrevivientes de alguna forma de explotación.

Não consigo colocar em palavras o quanto me conectei com a natureza e com os animais durante minha experiência no Santuário o abrigo. O lugar é simplesmente incrível — em cada detalhe, na beleza natural, na paz e na energia que transmite. Estar cercado pela natureza e pelos cavalos foi uma oportunidade única de aprendizado e autoconhecimento. Levo comigo cada ensinamento que os cavalos me proporcionaram e as amizades verdadeiras que construí nesse tempo. Foi uma vivência transformadora, que recomendo a todos que buscam reconectar-se com o essencial e viver algo genuinamente especial. 🐴🌿💚

Fué una experiencia maravillosa, poder apoyar a grupos que tienen tanto amor por los animales y la naturaleza es invaluable. sin lugar a dudas la gente que hace parte del proyecto (desde los voluntarios hasta los miembros del equipo) te enseñan mucho cada uno desde su posición... si lugar a dudas me encantaría cruzar mi camino de nuevo aquí... gracias por tanto!!

Cosas que destaco del santu: las voluntarias con las que coincidi, un 10, hicieron la experiencia muy linda; y trabajar con animales y estar en contacto directo con ellos tambien te enseña muchisimo cosas que desde mi punto de vista deberían mejorar: la comunicacion entre coordinadores y entre coordinadores y voluntarios, a mi todo me lo enseñaron otras voluntarias y supongo que se va perdiendo info; las comidas un 80% del tiempo aue estuve en el santu no fueron satisfactorias (desayuno galletitas con mermelada, mucha pasta, arroz, soja y lentejas, casi nada de fruta y verdura)

El refugio fue un lugar de conexión con la naturaleza y muchos caballos de diferentes tamaños y personalidades, se pudo observar a los animales cómo se relacionaban, Tus reacciones en grupo y el amor 🧡 que cada uno quería.En cuanto a las labores que realicé pude aprender de los anteriores voluntarios y materiales que brindó el voluntariado, de respetaron las horas y tiempo libre desde de laboral, el lugar de alojamiento fue excepcional ya que es una casa de voluntariado. Gracias a todo en equipo del refugio por la experiencia y lo que viví allí.

Conecté con la naturaleza y los animales como nunca lo habia hecho, es un lugar rodeado de paisajes hermosos. ⛰️🐖🐎 En los momentos de descanso se puede ir al río. Me la pasé comiendo cosas riquísimas! el equipo del santu parecen MasterChef. 🧑‍🍳 Le recomiendo esta experiencia a quienes amen a los animales tanto como yo, hay que estar predispuesto a aprender y colaborar. Buen lugar para desconectar del caos de la ciudad y hacer vida de campo🏕️
