I had a great experience here. The hosts are kind, fun, and welcoming—it truly felt like becoming part of the family. The day I arrived we all went on a short hike to a waterfall, which was so cool. The hosts and volunteers were great company, the property is beautiful, and the dogs are so sweet. The work is not overly burdensome and I was given freedom to choose what I wanted to do some days. They really care about how you feel as a member of the team. I recommend this experience and also recommend heeding their advice and bringing lightweight long sleeve shirts and pants.

I really enjoyed my time here! I definitely could have stayed longer, but it was still a great experience. It was an opportunity to experience a slow lifestyle and connect with nature escaping the city and was an experience I needed before returning home. I'm grateful for Aleja inviting me into her home and family and I hope to return back soon :) definitely recommend volunteering at the lodge

La experiencia fue y es totalmente hermosa, debido a situaciones que se salieron de nuestro control desafortunadamente llegué algo tarde a la finca, aún así me recibieron con mucho amor, Ale y Sonia son personas maravillosas asi como los demás chicos del lugar, incentivan mucho al crecimiento espiritual así como también al mental, emocional y físico, las tareas se realizan con mucha diversión y sin pesar, se disfruta mucho la estadía en ese lugar, tanto que de hecho me estoy quedando un tiempo extra acá jajaja Si buscas un lugar para crecer en todos los sentidos, definitivamente es acá 💖💖💖

Mi experiencia fue muy especial. Desde el primer momento me sentí como en familia, doña Alejandra y don Andres con su respeto y amabilidad hicieron que mi paso por el proyeto fuera inolvidable. La conexión con la naturaleza, las terapias holisticas que nos ayudan a reconocer las emociones y a crecer como seres humanos desde el amor y la compasión. Las personas con las que conviví esos días también fueron muy respetuosos y amigables conmigo. Los perritos, los caballos, los espacios y todo lo que es el proyeto . Recomiendo a otros worldpackers que vengan a hacer sus voluntariados aquí.

Una experiencia que me cambió la vida. Este fue mi primer voluntariado y fue una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Tuve una reconexión profunda conmigo misma. Esneider y Aleja son personas increíblemente amables, cálidas y generosas. Tuve la oportunidad de hacer cosas que jamás había hecho antes, salir de mi zona de confort y disfrutar cada instante. Las vistas del lugar son simplemente mágicas, como sacadas de un sueño. Cada día era una nueva oportunidad para aprender, disfrutar y crecer. Estoy muy agradecida con Esneider por compartirme su conocimiento y darme herramientas para la vida 🫶🏻
