No tengo palabras para describir lo que viví en La Esmeralda, junto a Juli y Facu, quienes me recibieron con las puertas abiertas en su casa y su proyecto. Son personas magníficas con un corazón enorme, que hacen todo lo posible para que te sientas como en casa. Nunca olvidaré las enseñanzas que me dieron, es un hermoso proyecto. *¡Sólo aquellos a quienes realmente les guste y tengan tiempo para acariciar a los perros allí, deberían postularse para este puesto!

Foi um trabalho em um lugar especial com anfitriões muito especiais... Consciência de preservação ambiental, de trabalho em equipe e expectativa para um contato com a natureza de forma rústica são disposições que o viajante precisa ter.. pela habilidade com pessoas por parte dos anfitriões todo aprendizado ocorreu de uma forma agradável e tranquila...

Os anfitriões são pessoas adoráveis. Conduzem as atividades de maneira leve e colaborativa, de forma que tudo se torna agradável e divertido. As tarefas concluídas, ainda que pequenas, são comemoradas com alegria e satisfação tornando cada uma, uma grande vitória! Foram ótimas sensações nesses dias compartilhados com Facu y Lala, com destaque especial para as refeições saborosas, inovadoras e criativas. Show!!! Já se inicia uma grande amizade.

El campo es realmente un paraíso en el bosque con un toque del mar, escuchando las olas mientras dormir y conectar con las plantas y animales! Para mi también fue una experiencia con mucha enseñanza personal; Aprendí mucho sobre mis límites, la comunicación, la energía que compartimos y el poder que hay si compartimos y seguimos los proyectos juntos. Muchas gracias a Lala y Facu para recibirme y darme la oportunidad para crecer como persona. Mucha suerte para el Nuez Changa - la comida siempre une a las personas 🌿✨

Fue una experiencia muy agradable que disfruté mucho. El lugar es un pequeño paraíso verde, ¡muy hermoso! Lala y Facundo son dos seres maravillosos, cálidos y agradables, conocedores de la tierra que fomentan el trabajo colectivo. Disfruté mucho las salidas a la playa y la convivencia con amigos y vecinos del lugar. Recibí mucho, más de lo que tenía pensado, volvería nuevamente para disfrutar y seguir aprendiendo, me hubiera gustado estar más tiempo. Repetiría la experiencia, ¡Gracias!
