I stayed at the project for 2 weeks and loved it! I learned about bioconstruction, I connected with nature, I learned more about the local culture, and the food was spectacular. During the time I was there there were a few storms, but Pablo and Cello always made sure to provide us with as much comfort as possible. If it hadn't been for volunteering I would never have discovered Pilolcura, hidden in a cove. I'm glad it happened.

We really enjoyed the experience, Pablo and Consuelo are very friendly and welcoming, the work is organized and adapted to the needs of the project, people's abilities and weather conditions. The place is also very beautiful and has some beautiful trails that you can take, including a national park where Pablo and Consuelo took us. I highly recommend this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The stay at the project was fantastic! Pilolcura is a super beautiful place, it really doesn't get much better. The work was straightforward and rewarding. It was great to spend some time working with my hands! The food was delicious and hearty and the hosts and other volunteers were great to hang with. Highly recommended! Thank you Pablo & Cello!

What a stay. Pilolcura is a beautiful and peaceful part of the world. I had a great time walking the beach at sunset, playing boardgames, practicing my Spanish, eating great food and falling asleep to the sound of a river. Consuelo and Pablo are incredible people and really make you feel welcome and I enjoyed the work - it was really cool learning a bit about bio-construction.

Teresa's stay with us was a genuine pleasure. Her enthusiasm for bio-construction and love for nature truly enriched our project. Whether it was learning new skills, enjoying sunsets on the beach or the tranquility of Pilolcura, Teresa did it all with a wonderful spirit. We're grateful for her contributions and the joy she shared with us. Her time here was marked by meaningful work, cultural exchange, and lasting friendships. We wish her all the best and warmly welcome her back anytime.

Abrazos muy grandes,
Consuelo and Pablo

Que decir. Pilolcura es mágico y Pablo y Chelo lo hacen todavía mejor. La estadía en su futuro hogar fue una experiencia que voy a recordar siempre. Uno aprende trabajando y se va con muchas enseñanzas. Se respetan los descansos y las horas, y el trabajo (aunque a veces lleve esfuerzo) está centrado en respetar y cuidar la salud de todos. Pilolcura brilla por su simpleza. Vacas, chanchos y caballos libres por la playa son un adelanto de lo que allí pueden ver. Fue hermoso compartir con todos los voluntarios/as. Comida rica, mates y charlas en abundancia. Graciasss a todos/as!! Recomendadisimo
