I would definitely recommend this experience. Alex and his friends were very welcoming and I really liked la Comarca. The work is pretty hard sometimes but it's not too much and there's plenty of time to rest.

I had an amazing time here! Alex is an amazing person and host. We received a list of tasks for the day and worked on them for a few hours in the morning. We cleaned the guests dome, made them breakfast, and helped out with other various tasks. There is a river that is so refreshing and we swam and floated in tubes everyday. Also expect to play a lot of fun card games including Durak in the afternoons and eat family-style meals together.

Alex is one of the funniest and most respectful guys I've met and I couldn't have had a better host for my first experience! The tasks are flexible and the working hours were respected. We'd wake up early in the morning and start our tasks, some of them were: prepare breakfast for the guests, bring rocks from the river, get bamboos, build things, clean the dome, keep the our place tidy, cut grass, etc. There is a lot of hardwork, if you are comfortable with it. Being at La Comarca felt like being with family. My favorite part was having all the meals together and learning to play durak :P

My experience in La Comarca was simply fantastic! I loved spending time with Alex and the other volunteers. In a short time, we became like family, which made the experience even more beautiful and motivating. The work is not heavy at all and is a lot of fun. You can come up with your ideas, but remember that if it's a good idea you have to find a way to develop it! Which is fun. Alex took care of providing us with everything we needed, was always available, and made us feel like we were really at home. I will miss La Comarca very much, I hope to come back soon. Thank you Alex :)

It's a very nice place to enjoy nature and calm your mind. The work can be sometimes challenging because of the hot weather but working hours can be really flexible! I really enjoyed my time here with Alex, Marc, Eric and the cutest dog Maggy! I recommend to stay longer than a week to see the results of your work. I stayed for one week with my girlfriend and thought it was stupid we couldn't finish what we started but afterall, really nice experience!

We had a short (5 days), but a very nice stay at La Comarca! We enjoyed the beautiful nature, especially the refreshing river nearby, and the overall relaxed environment. Alex is not the type of host to tell you what tasks you should do daily, he expects you to take initiative in working and coming up with new ideas. Though the day starts early and the work is sometimes physically demanding (also because of the heat), working hours are flexible and you can mostly plan your day as you like. We wish we could have stayed longer to see how the projects we started working on would progress!

La Comarca was a very pleasant place to be for a couple of weeks, the place is beautiful and you get to meet lots of lovely volunteers. And Alex is a very accommodating host, he let me change my dates and go away for a night. I think the free surfboards is a bit misleading. There is only one and I didn't get to use it at all. As for work there is a schedule for some jobs but besides that I felt there was a lack of instruction with what to do. And there isn't much in the local area so in my free time I didn't have a lot to do because day trips elsewhere were fairly infrequent.

We had a wonderful time wile volunteering at La Comarca the lodge project. Alexander is a very nice host. Working hours are respected (+are very flexible) and he makes sure you enjoy your stay at the lodge. Keep in mind that La Comarca is still under construction. You'll have to help out in multiple ways. Alexander gives you task to complete and he will help you to learn all sorts of building and craftsman's skills. Alexander is open to new ideas and really appreciates it when you are proactive. Eric and Javièr (local employees ) are very nice and will help you a lot. We definitely recommend!

Staying at LA COMARCA was a truly life changing experience. Alexander is one of the nicest humans I've ever met. He's very respectful and understanding in regards to all kinds of problems. He really did his best to gave us volunteers most authentic experience in visiting the area and meeting locals. Alexander also gave us the opportunity to include our individual skills and preferences into the project and a lot of freedom about completing our tasks which made the whole experience very relaxing based off each others trust.
