Mi experiencia en la comunidad la reserva de Santiak fue realmente inolvidable. Es un lugar hermoso, tranquilo e ideal para desconectarse de los estímulos, te invita a sentirte más ligero y conectar profundamente con la forma de vida de la comunidad, se crean lazos de cariño hacia los miembros que conforman el proyecto! Como sugerencia constructiva, considero que el voluntariado podría fortalecerse incorporando más labores y actividades para los voluntarios para que el proyecto continúe creciendo. Sin duda una experiencia muy valiosa, única y recomendable!

Visitar a la comunidad la reserva era una experiencia increíble e inolvidable. Tengo agradecimiento infinito para Franco, su familia, y los niñitos de Santiak por su amabilidad, las comidas, y sus lecciones. Aquí, se puede sumergirse totalmente en la vida de la selva: aprender las plantas, los tratamientos naturales, los costumbres la reserva, y por supuesto, divertirse con la comunidad. Definitivamente, volveré! Mis consejos para otros: - La jornada a Santiak es larga; confié en el proceso! - Aproveche su curiosidad y pregunte mucho con mente y corazón abiertos.

La experiencia ha sido muy buena y gratificante. El entorno en la amazonía ecuatoriana y la inmersión y conocimiento de la cultura local son asombrosas. Franco, el anfitrión, es una persona muy comunicativa y solidaria, dispuesta a enseñarte y ayudar en todo lo que pueda brindarte. En resumen, un gran lugar para estar.
