The Experience

Somos Federico y Silavana, vivimos en una ecoaldea en formación en la zona rural de San Pedro, a 20km de Colonia del Sacramento. El lugar que habitamos está bordeado por bosque y río, con mucha vegetación nativa y también exótica. Buscamos voluntarios/as interesados en ayudar con tareas de mantenimiento, bioconstrucción y huerta en un entorno natural.

Desde el primer momento Fede y Sil nos asistieron en todo lo que necesitamos. Fueron a buscarnos hasta la terminal del ferri cuando llegamos y siempre estuvieron muy atentos a todo lo que fue nuestra estadía en el proyeto. También organizaron una cena para festejar el cumpleaños de mí compañera. Las tareas fueron accesibles y entretenidas. Nuestra experiencia fue muy buena. Gente buena y un lugar que te invita a disfrutar del campo y el atardecer. Vamo arriba el proyeto!

Esta fue muy primera experiencia! Fede y Sil son muy buenos anfitriones, nos fueron a buscar apenas llegamos, el lugar estaba mejor que en las fotografías. Ellos son muy buenas personas, siempre estuvieron atentos a nuestras necesidades brindándose por demás. Cumplí años durante mi estadía y ellos me invitaron a una cena especial, cocinaron y hasta me compraron una torta de cumpleaños. También me desperté con un desayuno sorpresa con una tarjeta de feliz cumpleaños! Las tareas eran fáciles de realizar y aprendí mucho sobre el ecosistema y la flora local. Les estoy muy agradecida x todo chicos!
