If you want to surrend yourself with beautiful nature and some cool volunteers this place is nice while doong some light tasks around 3 hours. However, be prepared volunteer rooms are not very comfortable and hot😅 better to discuss with the host before. I suggest from the first day try to understand all tasks as detailed as possible to avoid any confussion later. If you have the expectation to learn more about construction and surf on your free days I suggest make this clear to the host before you arrive :) Enjoy La Comarca :)

La Comarca is a pleasant place. When we arrived, we were supposed to stay in the volunteer rooms, but like all the other volunteers present, we quickly chose to stay in the domes ($20 per night). Unfortunately, during our stay, the vehicle provided was not working, which limited our ability to go out. Additionally, Marco, who welcomed us instead of Alexander, was injured after a fall. He couldn't take us to the bus stop or really assist us on the lodge, which complicated our stay. The work is simple but spread out throughout the day, so it's not possible to have a full free half-day.

I met a lot of cool people at la comraca and enjoyed my experience for the most part. Marco was great and did a good job filling in for Alex while he was on vacation

My time at La Comarca was good. Marco, who was a substitute host for his friend Alex was incredible, making our stay at the camp enjoyable. The hours were not long and we had time to get the bus to the beach ect. Here I was able to make many friends that I continued to travel with afterwards. Unfortunately there was some miss communication between Alex and the volunteers as we were unaware that both of the cars were broken and were unlikely to be fixed. We had to walk 40 mins to the bus (unachievable in the rain) Many of us left early because of this. However, we did enjoy the stay.

The place "La Comarca" is really nice, surrounded by nature and a river. Acutally I didn't see much in the area around because the car which you can normally use is broken. There is also no local person there, Alex is away for some months and didn't tell me before. His friend Marco ist taking care of the place and he is lovely. He just don't know the area a lot.

La Comarca is a beautiful place in the nature. It is in a calm area. The work is easy and task like agreed to. Food is provided and is cooked by the team. Unfortunately the car was not working and it was hard to go to town and other places. Alex was also not there during our stay, so there was no local person with the perfect knowledge of the area. Instead Marco is there, he is a great person.

We had a great time and made good memories. Most of the tasks take less than 3h since they are simple and easy, if you want to help out more there's always something else to do. Alex is a great host and flexible so if you want to change something, he will listen and try to find a solution. We made our own meals with the food provided by Alex, he doesn't buy meat but you can buy it on your own and cook it. The place is a bit farway from town, the nearest bus stop being 30 minutes away walking, but there's a second car that volunteers can use. Amazing experience overall.

I had a really good time at la Comarca. Everybody was really nice and welcoming which made me really comfortable from the start. The working hours are flexible and you can often choose the tasks you want to do or even suggest your own ideas to improve the place. In your free time you can go for walks, go to the river or play cards with the others. Everybody learns how to play Durak within the first 24 hours and it's one of the best card games I've ever played. I also really enjoyed variety of food you get to try as everyone takes turns in cooking for the others. It's a great place!

I had a really good time at La Comarca, the place is very beautiful. Alex is a nice host and very welcoming. The shifts were very flexible and involved a lot of outdoor tasks. We cooked in turns for each other and could use the kitchen and food also for baking, which was fun. In our free time, we went to the beach a couple of times and spent time at the river. The only drawback for me was, that the volunteer accommodations are very basic, but overall it was a great experience.
