10/10 recommend if you need quiet time to get in touch with nature and yourself, for me, walking through the quiet desert was exactly what I needed to clear my head. The views are breath-taking, so is the night sky, the places around to explore seem endless, not counting the tours you can take in San Pedro. The host is very helpful and respectful, it is a country-side life style, if you're from the big city, like me, you'll have to adapt a bit out of the comfort zone, it's good for you! That being said, 100% safe, everything was clean and the room is warm and cozy at night.

Staying in Catarpe has been a great, remote experience and you usually work 3-4 hours per day (depending on what needs to be done). Tasks were clear and Mey even considered my vegetarian diet for lunch. You must speak some Spanish as English is not an option. Overall a wonderful experience in the middle of nature :)

A very enriching experience, I wish I could have stayed longer! It's in the middle of very beautiful nature and the work was fun (although pretty physical). Jorge and Mey were really kind and helpful with me. I really enjoyed spending time walking around and connecting with nature.

I spent two beautiful weeks in Catarpe which I extended for a few more days as we volunteers had the chance to participate in a ceremony. Mey and Jorge are lovely persons who tell you clearly what to do. At times the work can get physical and tiring. But there were no tasks lasting longer than 2-3 hours. So it's a good variety and it doesn't get boring. Everybody was paying attention to my very basic spanish skills and tried to speak slowly. Miss the three magical dogs already. The landscape is amazing and I was able to explore everything with our bikes.

There are no words to describe this experience. This was my first time volunteering and it was unforgettable. I felt very welcomed by Maybel and her family, people with a wealth of knowledge and culture. Every day was unique and we were able to do different tasks that were not difficult. The landscapes in this place are absolutely incredible, there's so much to explore. I thank you for your welcome and patience, and I hope lot of tourists come to visit. I recommend the volunteers to people who are open-minded about new things and have the willpower to learn and carry out the tasks given.

I had a really nice time at meys house! the place is beautiful with an amazing nature around. you can have bikes and ride around the place, there's a few beautiful things to do. just be aware that the house is far from san pedro, so it's not that easy to go and come back. it's a great place to be surrounded by nature and connect with yourself :) the food was also great and fulfilling i do recommend and would come back

My experience in catarpe was very good! The volunteering hours were exactly the ones said in the platform, the 2 bikes were avaible for us volunteers when we wanted to use, Mey, Sara and jorge were very nice and welcoming and we were invited participate in the spiritual cerimonies when mey made them. To do the activities of this volunteering, you need to like manual labor, some activities included carrying heavy things and working in the field, helping to prepare the earth for new plantations, and the volunteers cook lunch for everyone. Overall, i really liked knowing Catarpe!

My friend and I had a fun time here! The tasks were fun and interesting and we finished work before the prime heat of the day which was great. Mey told us cool things to do around the area and taught us a little about Quechua culture. The only thing is, she is still kind of new to having volunteers so sometimes we needed to ask a few times for things like potable water and toilet paper for the outside bathroom. Other than that, the space to sleep was great and it was beautiful there. Thank you Mey for opening up your home to us and teaching us how to live more sustainably.

Ser voluntario en casa de Mey fue muy especial. Durante ese tiempo juntos, pude trabajar mucho, ayudando con el cuidado de la tierra y otras actividades directamente relacionadas con la naturaleza. También compartí momentos únicos durante almuerzos e incluso ceremonias a las que tuve el honor de participar. Mey es una gran mujer, llena de fuerza y sabiduría, y estar con ella durante este tiempo me hace creer que yo también puedo convertirme en un hombre más fuerte y sabio. La mayor alegría es poder sentirme como en familia y llevar a Mey y todos estos grandes momentos en mi memorias y corazon.
