Fue una experiencia agradable, el lugar es muy tranquilo y bonito, las tareas del voluntariado pueden llegar a ser un poco pesadas pero nada demasiado difícil. La habitacion se llena de arañitas e insectos fácilmente. Tuvimos algunos mal entendidos con el anfitrion respecto a la comida. No pude practicar ninguno de los deportes descritos en la descripción del voluntariado.

Tú más que nadie sabes la situación difícil creada por Paulo en Ecorigenes. Tú deberías alejarte de personas potencialmente peligrosas porque nunca sabes lo que pueda pasarte. Te deseo suerte en tu viaje. ¿Ahhh recuerdas la lista enorme de comida que me enviaron y que les envié?, buscaré la forma de ponerla en tu perfil para que luego critiques.

Lugar muito distante (40min a pé da cidade) e o Uber não chega. O anfitrião não ajudou com transporte. Prometem vários esportes, mas só tinha um (descida no rio), que ainda era pago à parte por ser de terceiros. Fui pelos esportes e não tinha nada do que mostraram. Cozinha mal equipada: na última semana faltou óleo, fósforo e sal. Levava até 3 dias para repor e sempre tínhamos que avisar. Preferem vender os ovos em vez de oferecer. Foi bem decepcionante.
