Absolutamente todo fue un sueño! Desde que llegué a Álamos, mi bienestar emocional comenzó a mejorar hasta el punto de sentirme por primera vez en mi vida completamente en paz! Absolutamente todo fluyó de una manera increíble, y no sólo se debe a los espectaculares paisajes, aire, comida, trato humano, sino incluso detalles como el hecho que hasta los animales me trataron como si los conociera desde siempre! La descripción con la que anuncian este voluntariado se queda chico en comparación con la experiencia real. Recomiendo esta experiencia al 1000%!!!
