Mas Al Quinta

Experience a different way of living and working together to create a better, more compassionate and sustainable world. The tasks are varied, including animal care, gardening. forestry and house maintenance and the community - well that's YOU - so it will be ever changing and challenging.

I am a widow living in this multi species community comprising of rescued animals - currently a pig, donkeys dogs & cats and varying numbers of volunteer helpers, with strong links to the local community. As well as the tasks at home you will have the opportunity to help out at local markets and participate in community activities.

My time at Namuas will be a time I won’t forget. Going through a month with vegan food alone changed my view on things and care that goes into cooking and feeding us volunteer’s was almost always put forth with great care. Our body’s were fed well, we worked hard too, and also replenished our souls with the river not far. If you are looking to be in nature, do some hiking near by or be immersed in a world that is connected together and not enjoyed separately. This is the place. You’ll find yourself bonding with the animals and enjoying the outdoor by the pond!

The area and property are absolutely beautiful and you are able to go on a hike or to the beach. I met amazing volunteers and we made the best experiences together! Sadly the host did not seem to be interested in me or the others. I was not thought nor was I explained how to do the tasks. I had to learn by doing it which is why I had to redo things often. In addition tools are often broken or not good for the job so the work becomes less efficient. The tasks expected to finish are too many so some (especially cleaning) are done VERY superficial.
If you have any more questions feel free to as

Sorry you felt like that Jette. To be fair she arrived at a very busy time with a lot of initial changes.
The Spring planting has now been done and things have calmed down a bit and we are catching up on other jobs and have time to settle down relax a bit more.

Hay tareas a lo largo de todo el día, a veces comenzábamos a las 7/8 am y terminábamos a la noche, calculo que si son varios voluntarios es más llevadero, pero cuando estuve éramos la mayoría de los días solo dos personas y trabajábamos bastante (más de 5 horas). No es que trabajas 5 hs seguidas y puedes salir a recorrer o estás libre. La limpieza del lugar no me gustó y a veces Namua hizo comentarios o tuvo tratos que no me gustaron. No me sentí cómoda y me fui antes del tiempo que tenía estipulado

I think my review of Cecilia answers this. She basically had no idea of community living . She tried, but after so many years of living with volunteers I do know what 5 hours work can achieve and a day of faffing about is not the same as a few hours honest work!
This is not a place for free board and lodging, but a very welcoming community if you truly want to embrace our ethics, learn, share and grow. 😁

I had a really good time, the host was kind, the work was not to much and doable and the nature and surroundings were absolutely beautiful+The food.. Namua is the best cook. The food she provides everyday is super fresh vegan and absolutely delicious.
I feel like some things need to be said tho. The work is everyday work like feeding 3 times a day, for example. You might not be able to go out for long in your free time in between.
+The busses out of the village leave only once every couple of hours and the ride to bigger cities is quiet long. + the last bus into the village is at 7pm.

While staying here I was able to reconnect with nature and got to spend a lot of time with the animals. I learned a lot about sustainable living and living off the land. The area was absolutely beautiful and there was a lot of explore.
