Truly a wonderful experience. Vale and Juli make you feel at home, in such a beautiful landscape. Wish I could have stayed more to enjoy the conversation, AMAZING food, dogs and landscapes. Very chill overall! You come as a traveler and leave as a friend.

I really enjoyed my stay in the reserve. Valentina and Julio are very kind and you get to know their friends. Food is amazing and it's a pleasure to help cooking and cleaning the place. the reserve is located in a beautiful spot right on the beach and is quiet. It's possible to go on hikes, surf, kayak, paddle... You can really connect with the nature here. Would recommend 👌

I had the best time in my 2 weeks at the reserve. Vali was so helpful before giving advice on the bus to get from Santiago and where to get off. The schedule was very chilled with full control of which days I worked and which I had as days off. Although my Spanish is bad I was able to learn some more whilst I was there and next time I visit I hope to be much better! Juli is an amazing cook and all the meals were 10/10. Massive thank you to everyone at the reserve and I look forward to visiting again in the future!

I have very mixed feelings about my stay at the glamping. On the one hand the location is amazing, the beach only a 5 minute walk away, the food is amazing and it isn't hard work. On the other hand when asked what I was supposed to do I got no answer, when asking what my working hours are, I got no answer. I just started doing things around the glamping and that seemed good enough. Absolutely nothing is happening concerning sustainability. If you don't like drink and drugs, this place is not for you, the first joint is passed around at 10AM. During my stay 3 people left early, myself included.
