"Una eterna ensoñación". Estas son las palabras que me acompañaron en estos días apacibles durante la estancia. Los días pasan sin que te des cuenta, y las horas solo se miden por los movimientos de los cuerpos celestes. La inmensidad del paisaje que ves se guarda en un lugar especial de la memoria. Un tesoro se halla entre las montañas que te rodean, bajo el cobijo de las guaduas, la cercanía de la luna, el saludo de los animales bioluminiscentes y el lenguaje de las cascadas. Fácil se encuentra la paz que te inflama el corazón, que te obliga a no perderte otro atardecer. Un vívido sueño

La experiencia en la la reserva fue increíble. Amé trabajar en una la reserva ambiental rodeada de tanta naturaleza, animales, cascadas y paisajes bonitos. Puedes trabajar en las áreas que más te interesen y aportar desde tus conocimientos a la la reserva. Aprendí mucho sobre la terapia forestal (el Shinrin Yoku o baños de bosque). Don Edgar es un gran anfitrión. Gracias a Pariente, Salvador, Isidora, Alba, a sus hijos y a las mascotas Milo y Ringo por la experiencia. Recomiendo este voluntariado. Se necesitan manos para hacer crecer este proyecto tan bonito 🌳🏡

Gracias, Sebastián. Tu apoyo fue verdaderamente invaluable. Honestamente, esperaba menos, pero lograste sorprenderme gratamente. Tu dedicación y tu aporte en la creación de la primera página web de la Reserva han sido extraordinarios, especialmente considerando que no habías aplicado para esta labor y, aun así, decidiste asumirla desinteresadamente en tus tiempos libres.
Muchas

Gracias a Don Edgar y a todos en la la reserva por su calidez y amabilidad. Desde nuestra llegada, nos hicieron sentir como en casa. la la reserva es maravillosa, llena de naturaleza, senderos en el bosque y hermosas cascadas. Los espacios para los voluntarios cuentan con todo lo necesario para tener una estadía cómoda y agradable, la comida es deliciosa... Todo fue como se acordó. Para mí fue una gran experiencia, por lo aprendido, lo vivido y por la huella que dejé allí. A Don Edgar mi total admiración y respeto por su compromiso con la vida y la salud y mis mejores deseos: bendiciones y éxitos!

@camilorojasvlogs: Voluntariado ideal si estás buscando tu primera experiencia, ya que combina naturaleza (cascadas, bosques, senderos & campo) con un ambiente seguro y amigable. Además, si tu intención es encontrar un lugar tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza, pero con acceso a buen internet, aquí lo vas a conseguir sin problema. Agradecimientos a Don Edgar por su excelente hospitalidad, a Isidora & Salvador que estuvieron siempre muy atentos. Además un cariño grande a Ringo & Milo dos amigos caninos que siempre estuvieron conmigo Desde el primer día don Edgar lo hace sentir a uno en casa
