I've had an unforgettable experience with an Indigenous family in the Amazon. They have all treated me well, and it has been a very beautiful cultural exchange. Obviously, the conditions are very different for someone used to living in the city, but you are in close contact with nature and with an Indigenous culture from which you can learn many lessons. You can learn a lot about medicinal plants, traditions, crafts, hunting, fishing, and much more. I hope to be able to return someday and see them all again. Thanks again, see you later!

It was a very beautiful and pleasant experience, especially because Franco's family always welcomed us in a kind way, making us feel like part of their family. Franco always looked for ways to make us feel comfortable and help us with everything; what you live there is more than a volunteering experience; for me, I can say it was a spiritual retreat because that's when you really connect with nature, I am absolutely grateful to Franco and his family for having welcomed me and for teaching me about their incredible Amazonian culture 💗
