It was truly an exceptional experience. The guides at the lodge are fantastic. They really showed us the Amazon, their culture, and their knowledge in every aspect. Future volunteers should be aware that 80% of the population has malaria, and that we often come into direct contact with the locals, both during meals and on excursions (one of the guides had to be hospitalized), so I strongly recommend taking precautions beforehand. Aside from that, I had an exceptional stay, meeting exceptional people who will remain forever remembered, and I thank the lodge and its entire team for that.

Wow, my expectations were definitely surpassed!! This was a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to act as a bridge of friendship and communication between the indigenous people of San Martín and the international tourists. I had a variety of tasks, such as managing the social media pages and translating on tours, so I was always learning and growing. José & his family really made an effort to make me feel welcome in the community. In addition, Heike was very responsive to questions but also allowed me to have creative liberty with the social media. Highly recommend :)

The food were amazing, the facilities as well and the best part of course was the people, learning from everyone was such a privilege. I definitely recommend it

In my personal opinion, this has been the best experience I've had on Worldpackers. I truly don't want to leave this place; in fact, I still have another two weeks here. First, I'll say that Heke is the epitome of charisma, clever, and fun. Secondly, living within the community and exploring the jungle around and beyond is a delight for my senses. Running through the jungle in the rain, unable to see what the near future holds, is fascinating—whether it be a snake, a tarantula, or even mushrooms and fungi. That is the magic of this place—it's never the same path, never the same jungle. Cheers?

La experiencia en el alojamiento fue demasiado increíble! Las horas de trabajo son respetadas al igual que los días de descanso. La comida siempre deliciosa. Ir a los tours a traducir es una oportunidad increíble para conocer la selva desde adentro al igual que los alrededores de la comunidad. Sobra decirlo, pero uno aquí puede conectar con la naturaleza como en pocos lugares. La gente local y el staff del alojamiento súper amables y siempre abiertos a enseñarte su cultura. Sin duda alguna fue una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida. Espero volver pronto.
