I was only there for a short amount of time but I truly felt a good connection with nature and my host Julio. It's beautiful place to say and we enjoy a day out in the kayak and visiting friends on another part of the lake. If you love to be in a peaceful place with beautiful jungle and ocean this is the place for you. Thanks for hosting me and o hope to see you in Scotland one day! 🙌

My stay at the lodge with Julio, Viento and other volunteers was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Julio was a wonderful host. Full of heart, helpful and caring. While it took a bit of communication in the beginning, we quickly found our rhythm and built a trusting relationship. My time there was an adventure that brought me closer to nature, to myself, and a deeply sustainable way of living. If you are brave to step out your comfort zone, do it and live in the moment! I could write many more things, but most importantly I want to say gracias de todo corazón Julio!! Nos vemos!! Nina :)

Simplicity in touch with nature. It was for me a authentic jungle and beach experience, I had a lot of time to observe the nature environment, because I felt far away from my normal outside world. A place and project where I felt soon connected to and liked to give my energy and passion into it. Julio was for me a good host, he showed me his good intentions for this place, this place inspired my creativity, we did good work together :) I'm greatful Julio that you share your minimalistic jungle life with others, curious traveler's like me ;) And I wish you and Viento all the best!
