The Experience

Somos la familia Chinari Limpias, parte de la comunidad indigena Takana. Vivimos en San Miguel del Bala, cerca de Rurrenabaque, en la selva de Bolivia. De vez en cuando nos visitan turistas de los tours a la selva para moler caña, almorzar o hacer chocolate. Para atenderlos necesitamos tu ayuda. Igual puedes ayudar con otras tareas dependiendo de la situación y tus conocimientos:)

Increíble experiencia ! Efrain y su familia son muy acogedores, y en pocos días se volvieron como una segunda familia. La comunidad es preciosa, con abundancia de árboles frutales!! El voluntariado consiste en ayudar a la familia a acoger turistas, hacer de comer y pasar buen tiempo con ellos ! 100% recomendable para una experiencia muy auténtica y para descubrir la cultura de la selva!!

Hemos pasado unos dias muy especiales en la casa. Es un lugar donde aprender de la cultura indigena, ver sus tradiciones y su forma de vida. Nos ha gustado poder ayudarlos con los tours que venian todos los dias, haciendo chocolate, jugo de caña o macrame, hemos aprendido mucho. Pasabamos las tardes con los niños pescando en el rio o ayudandolos con las tareas de la escuela, o tambien de la casa. Es un voluntariado donde siempre puedes estar rodeado de gente, de otros voluntarios o de la misma familia o vecinos! Una buena experiencia 💚
