Está en un lugar agradable, aunque un poco lejos del centro. Nos quedamos sin bicicleta en la primera semana y pronto sentimos la diferencia; tener una bicicleta realmente disponible hace mucha diferencia. Legna es una buena persona, tranquila, y me hizo sentir a gusto. Extrañé tener un intercambio más significativo, ya que fue bastante breve.
No hay empleados, y aunque el trabajo no es pesado, la carga horaria es extensa. Creo que solo contar con dos voluntarios es insuficiente para todas las responsabilidades. Realice tareas como limpieza, jardinagem, cuidado com niños, peros y una égua 😍

No era nada como se estipulaba, el lugar de casa Lahar ni existe. La estadía es bien limitada, como 2 días no tuvimos el desayuno (huevo, pan, mermelada y fruta) porque se les olvidaba. El lugar estaba apenas en construcción para abrir al público donde la cocina está bien limitada, estuve lavando los platos y se cayó el vaso de licuadora que estaba apilada en la loza ya lavada, se rompió y se me cobró. Las tareas eran de limpieza para mantener limpio el lugar y una actividad extra. Dormimos en casa de campaña y después en unas cabañas. Nos decepcionamos mucho no volveríamos de nuevo ahí.

Nos parece importante aclarar que casa Lahar no existe y el hecho que nunca se mencionara nos parece deshonesto. Las horas de trabajo se respetó pero dado que llegamos a un lugar donde se estaba dando mantenimiento para abrirse nuestras tareas no fueron las acordadas, hacíamos trabajos muy pesados y debajo del sol. Además que un par de días no tuvimos desayuno porque se les olvido traer el pan, huevo y mermelada que prometen. A Sebastian le cobraron una licuadora (que ya estaba mal apilada y todo amontonado) el solo estaba cubriendo la tarea de lavar trastes y se la cobraron, ya la pagó.

Es la segunda vez que estoy en el hostalito y volvería allí! Las tareas son sencillas como limpieza o recepción, tal vez pintar algo.
Legna con la gente que tiene a au alrededor te hacen sentir parte de su familia , el día de mi cumple estaba sola y organizaron un asado, terminamos siendo varios que la pasamos de diez 👏 GRACIAS LEG ❤
