The Experience

La vida en nuestra finca puede ser desafiante a veces, con una gran variedad de tareas diarias, pero también nos aseguramos de disfrutar de momentos especiales. Por las tardes, nos encanta llevar a los perros al río, leer un buen libro, ver una película o simplemente relajarnos y conectar con la naturaleza.

The description of the volunteering was not accurate, as once we arrived, the host told us we had to take care of his 2 dogs and deep clean the house. The volunteer hours and tasks were not clear, and that led us to leave earlier. When we arrived, there was another guy who wasn't a guest, and Pablo told us that the guy was there to protect us (?) which made us feel uneasy. Also, the place is super far from absolutely everything. If you feel like deep cleaning a hostel and taking care of dogs really far from everything, you'll probably like this. We just stayed one night and left early morning

If you want to deep clean a hostel, or care for 2 dogs, then maybe that could be a nice experience. Although, I was expecting work on reforestation and a little construction I said I wanted to learn. I would not have chosen this project otherwise, and that is what led me to leave earlier. The hours of work were very unclear too. Pablo, the host, was amiable during the stay, but I can't shake off the feeling that I was lied to by the host to do work for the profit of the hostel. I also payed for food that was for the dogs without knowing and Pablo refused to pay me back some of that amount.

Tuve una experiencia muy bonita! Hicimos varios trabajos de pintura y siembra de arbolitos! Los perros son divinos y muy juiciosos! La estancia es muy cómoda y agradable, el lugar tiene una energía super bonita, estar en la naturaleza y respirar aire puro no tiene precio. Además, Pablo es una persona maravillosa y te hace sentir cómoda.
