The lodge was my first volunteering experience and I am infinitely grateful for it; I always felt part of the tribe 🐴🐶🐶 I had a wonderful coexistence with the volunteers whom I now consider friends that I will carry with me forever in the 💚, it is a crazy place, it lends itself to relaxing and feeling it ALL, watching the sunset, starry nights, having a nice little coffee, you can walk to the town without any problem and discover places near the rivers that are beautiful, the breakfast is crazy good, very good portions and delicious sourdough bread... etc. Here you feel drawn to do much more than the defined tasks, THANK YOU Yambos

At the lodging I had an incredible period of volunteering, both for the place and for the company. The stay was positive and the time passed quickly, almost without me realizing it. Collaborating with Gabriel was easy because we had the same intentions, and helping in the garden contributed significantly to my personal growth. I highly recommend the lodging as a place to do volunteering, since I found a respectful and friendly environment that values the worth of the person and of all people, in their diversity. A Yamboabrazo and heartfelt thanks for that experience!

The accommodation has a place in my heart ♥️ my arrival was excellent, super responsive, always ensuring you're comfortable, and thanks to the accommodation, the facilities and the good energy, everything was possible. The tasks were as agreed and we were also able to coordinate to do other things to keep learning and improving other skills. The location makes you connect with another part of yourself, and it makes you feel immersed in nature. Highly recommended!!! Thanks Gabriel, Ana and the team (Yambo, Rasta and Campanita 🐕🐴)
