My stay at the Center was truly enjoyable. What a magical place, with majestic views of the towering mountains! It is a wonderful spot to admire a wide range of biodiversity; I was delighted to see a group of monkeys up close, performing acrobatics and climbing to the very tops of the trees. As for the team, I truly felt like part of the community thanks to the kindness of the people; they made me feel included in daily activities and allowed me to develop my skills through community projects. I feel very fortunate to have been part of this experience.

My overall experience at the Center was blissful. The environment is tranquil & slow-paced, with a trail containing plenty of butterflies & monkeys. I learnt about composting, & gardening. I was invited to join many activities on & off site, and felt very included. Work was fair & satisfying, including maintenance of cleanliness of common spaces, gardening, and admin/guest support. As for how the host made me feel, for the most part, very welcomed. With complete transparency, I experienced an incident that completely shifted the sense of concern for my well-being, as well as privacy.

Nuestra estancia en the Center superó totalmente lo que esperábamos. Desde el primer día, Emilio y yo nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y cómodos en el espacio. Las tareas son justas, están bien organizadas y la gente es sumamente amable y cálida. Además, el entorno natural es precioso y transmite una paz inmensa. Gracias de corazón por recibirnos tan bonito.
