I had a great time at the reserve. I would say it's a good place for living close to nature and enjoying some contemplative time in the forest. I really enjoyed learning how to build the spider webs for the volunteer work. Everything was clearly communicated and David is a very attentive host whos always willing to share his knowledge and jokes :)

Working here was by far one of my favorite experiences of my travels! David is a very attentive, adaptable and organized leader who went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed my time here. Working hours were always acknowledged fairly and the tasks themselves were very enjoyable. I couldn't recommend it enough, it's a perfect little haven to disconnect from the wider world and reconnect with yourself and nature.

My experience at the reserve was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. David was an amazing host, so friendly and welcoming and he put so much time and effort into ensuring my experience was the best it could be. I learned so much about the jungle life and living within nature, but more importantly I learned so much about myself! I found the work extremely interesting with a great work-life balance! I would not just recommend this experience, but actively encourage anyone to take part- you won't regret it!

This is an interesting study about the interaction between humans and the natural environment. This project definitively has all the potential to make a positive impact on people's well being. Personally, I found it a challenging experience, which led me to cut short my volunteer period. Nevertheless, it's worth it. I'd like to thank David, the administrator, for being always attentive and ensuring the experience was top-notch!

The reserve is an incredible place. It's a nature reserve set up to help people treat traumas by getting in touch with nature. I spent two weeks here and loved every second of it. It was a real break from reality whilst it also reinvigorated my love for nature. The guys running the place are amazing too. Always trying to make sure that volunteers get the absolute most from their experience here
