Fué una experiencia maravillosa, poder apoyar a grupos que tienen tanto amor por los animales y la naturaleza es invaluable. sin lugar a dudas la gente que hace parte del proyecto (desde los voluntarios hasta los miembros del equipo) te enseñan mucho cada uno desde su posición... si lugar a dudas me encantaría cruzar mi camino de nuevo aquí... gracias por tanto!!

Conecté con la naturaleza y los animales como nunca lo habia hecho, es un lugar rodeado de paisajes hermosos. ⛰️🐖🐎 En los momentos de descanso se puede ir al río. Me la pasé comiendo cosas riquísimas! el equipo del santu parecen MasterChef. 🧑🍳 Le recomiendo esta experiencia a quienes amen a los animales tanto como yo, hay que estar predispuesto a aprender y colaborar. Buen lugar para desconectar del caos de la ciudad y hacer vida de campo🏕️

Fue increíble vivir 1 mes en el refugio. Estoy agradecido por cada experiencia, aprendizaje y por las personas que conocí.Para quienes buscan una conexión verdadera con la naturaleza y los animales, este es el lugar indicado: aprendes a respetarlos y cuidarlos. La rutina está bien organizada, con una lista clara de tareas, lo que facilita el día a día. Y sobre la comida...¡sin palabras! No soy vegano, pero con la calidad de las comidas del refugio, fácilmente lo sería. Agradezco a los coordinadores por la hospitalidad. Llevo esta experiencia en el corazón. Nos vemos pronto.
