A great experience at the farm. From the first day, Don Gonzalo stands out as an excellent host—close, attentive, friendly, and always willing to teach you with good energy. The place is a 10/10, very welcoming. Also highlight Mrs. Elia and Mr. Daniel, who together with Don Gonzalo form an incredible team. Always attentive to you, with a good attitude, willing to help you, teach you and motivate you. The tasks are very varied and proactive day by day. Everything is lived with very good vibes, generating a welcoming and authentic atmosphere. And you can't forget mentioning Canelo and Sil, two dogs that are very companionable.

I greatly appreciate Gonzalo for the stay at his farm; it was an incredible experience where I could learn more about native plant species, get in touch with the land, and enjoy more of Valdivia and its beautiful landscapes.
His assistants, Elia and Daniel, are great and are always willing to help you and make your stay better.
I recommend this volunteer program for those who wish to connect with nature and learn more about native species.
The comfort of the place is very good and all meals are covered and you have the option to choose them to your liking.
