It was a really good experience. The environment was amazingly beautiful and I loved the natural pool. The food was really good and the work was variable and flexible between working in the garden, cooking and other little tasks. Big thank you to Andersen (you will be mostly in contact with him), who took a lot of time to explain me all kinds of things about the nature, the plants and the birds in the area, he knows a lot which was super nice. I'd say the only downside was that there were barely any people and the owner was busy a lot. So if you're looking to socialize this is not the place

El equipo del centro Forrest (en especial Anderson, Nixon y Óscar) fueron muy amables y nos enseñaron muchísimas cosas sobre la selva y su cultura. Nos hicieron reír y sentir seguras. Recomiendo esta experiencia!
