Jackeline was an exceptional host, always concerned about whether we were fine and whether we were able to enjoy visiting the Parque da the reserve. Our stay was in a tent she provided, but inside a covered area with a fridge, a stove and a closed bathroom. The Park is hard to access, so it’s difficult to go out to know the city every day, but as the Park has several trails this isn’t even a problem. All in all, I highly recommend volunteering; the place is beautiful, full of nature and the people are very dear.

It was our first experience as volunteers, and it was very special. From the start we were warmly welcomed by the host, who was always attentive, respectful, and open to dialogue.
The activities were mainly taking care of and maintaining the space, such as cleaning in common areas, gardening, and organizing. The work was peaceful and within what had been agreed, allowing time to enjoy the place and get to know all the trails. The environment is amazing for anyone who loves being in nature. We are very grateful for the exchanges during these days, and we will carry them with us forever with great affection.

The park has diverse fauna and flora with immersive trails of incredible beauty. Getting to know the local culture, the gastronomy, and the pampas' uniqueness through the hostess's perspective was a great learning experience. The schedules for tasks and days off were followed. The volunteering consisted of supporting the reserve staff, maintaining cleanliness, organization, and assisting on days of higher visitor movement. The park has a large camping area, a kitchen equipped with refrigerator, stove, and everyday utensils. The night sky is very clear, perfect for night photos. I recommend volunteering!!
