Magical. This was one of the most special volunteer opportunities that I've been a part of. From the very beginning I felt part of the family at the eco village. To be living off the land, working in nature, slowing down, and sinking into this beautiful l crystal landscape was an experience that I'll never forget. I was really looking for a sense of community in coming to this area after so much time on the move, and I felt very fortunate to have landed here with Gonzalo and family living here. I loved being a part of the construction of the geodesic dome, clearing trail, and building compost.

It was a great experience! I arrived in mid january and stayed 4 weeks. Good company with Gonzalo and Raul (other volunteers too). It needs some time to get used to the environment and all the daily tasks that needs to be done (when we were not so many the daily tasks - that were not concidered as work to the ~5h/day (no fixed shifts) - felt like much work), but with time you get into the rythm, and it can be really chill. But overall the nature, living simple, not consuming much... Helped me a lot processing thaughts! It's an Experience on it's own, that I definitely recommend! Thx G&R (&co.)

I had a great time at the eco village! It was so nice to disconnect and really get in touch with nature. It was a really nice escape that I hope to come back to one day. The simple way of life brings us back to the basics and filled me with a sense of calmness. Thank you so much for everything Gonzalo!

I am lost for words, no short or extremely long comment could ever be enough to describe what the eco village and Gonzalo have done for me. Put in a simple way there was a before and an after the eco village. So from the bottom of my heart thank you! Thank you for creating such a magical place. I am deeply grateful for the time, the freedom, the space you gave me. I was able to be me , to play like a child again, to experience embracing failure. To learn a lot about myself , plants, everything really. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable and valuable experience. Take care, love. Meli

The project was such a special experience for me. The aldeaoasis is a place to connect to nature, to the other people there and to yourself. The work is fun, especially because you'll have lots of freedoms. I was able to contribute with things I already knew, but I was also able to learn many new skills! Gonzalo is a great teacher, and he was very thankful. The atmosphere during my stay was welcoming and open. We spend a lot of time together: eating, talking, stargazing and working of course. It is very different from what most people are used to, but it's a place that feels like home.

The eco village is quite the magical place. Surrounded on one side by rolling hills and on the other by vast vegetated plains, it invites one to become more at one with their surroundings, the people, and themselves. I found this experience very enlightening, and would recommend it for anyone who seeks to see a more sustainable way of living, in proximity to nature and a communal atmosphere. My experience included a lot of beautiful moments, with fulfilling work, lots of laughter and honest exchanges, as well as picturesque moments of landscapes and stars at night. Thoroughly recommended.

My girlfriend and I had a great experience: back to nature and back to basic! the eco village is really remote from civilization. 45 minutes from Minas with a remis and then a one hour hike to get to this amazing place! Gonzalo and Raul are amazing people with a warm heart for us and nature. They made us feel at home. And would help out with every question we had. Raul and we could also prepare diner&breakfast together. Making fire, getting water etc. Even though the vegetables and fruits were a little limited: we created great meals. In 10 days we builded a great basketbal court for Gonzalo!

My partner and I had a great experience at the eco village! Gonzalo and his team are extremely kindhearted and easygoing people. The tasks given to us were very simple and easy to complete, it mainly consisted of taking care of the site by cleaning dishes, collecting water from the stream etc. It takes a while to get there but once you're there you're surrounded completely by nature. It is a beautiful camp with very basic facilities. There's no shower or bathroom so be prepared for very basic living. We recommended this for people looking to get back in touch with nature!
