Con Franco y su increíble familia, pude experimentar plenamente la cultura y la vida de esta comunidad y aprendí mucho, también con tiempo para relajarme y disfrutar de la serena selva. Además de ayudar con las redes sociales, acabé haciendo muchas fotos, enseñando inglés e incluso rodando un documental con muchos miembros de la comunidad y conservando algunas de sus historias culturales. Es un lugar muy remoto y no apto para pusilánimes, pero me sentí muy cómoda, lo suficiente como para probar la ayahuasca, otra experiencia memorable que no haría con gente en la que no confío. Volveré!

La experiencia es única, vibrante y conmovedora. Franco es un ser comprometido con su proyecto y por ende con las actividades que allí se hacen y por supuesto con los voluntarios. No solo el, si no que la comunidad Santiak son personas de gran calidad humana, colaborativas y gran calidez humana. La selva y la comunidad conviven en un espacio que fue muy agradable de visitar, al final de los días ya no te quieres ir de allí ¡Te atrapa totalmente!

¡Increíble experiencia! Tanto el anfitrión como su familia y la comunidad toda me abrieron las puertas y me recibieron de la mejor manera, me sentí uno más, cómo en casa.. aprendí mucho de ellos, de su vida en convivencia con la naturaleza, me invitaron a realizar distintas tareas y a compartir con ellos su día a día, su comida, sus costumbres.. me fui llorando por dejar ese lugar y esa gente, me encantaría volver en algún momento y se lo recomiendo de corazón a cualquier persona que pueda ir ¡No se van a arrepentir!
