The Experience

We are a retreat center located in a beautiful natural setting in the Elqui Valley, Chile. We have a space surrounded by nature and peace. We are looking for a couple of volunteers who can stay in our space and help us take care of it from September 8 to 25, while we travel. During our absence, the most important thing will be to look after the space and our 5 cats and 4 dogs, ensuring that they are well.

It was the best volunteering experience. ❤️ Lilia is a cheerful and warm-hearted person. She welcomed us with open arms. We felt at home from the very first moment and we shared very deep conversations with her. She has a lot of wisdom and inspires with her life and way of thinking.
The place, the house at the foot of Mamalluca Mountain has a lot of energy. It is a powerful and beautiful place. Since you are far from the city, you forget everything and enjoy being in nature.
The dogs and cats are all very friendly; they trusted us a lot.

I am very grateful to have been able to be in this place and meet Lilia.

Uff, what can I say, what an incredible opportunity and experience, a lot of spiritual connection, Mamalluca welcomed us in an amazing way and of course Lilia the host who gave us her home, a person with a lot of wisdom, the little animals in the house and everything was incredible, despite the wind problems that occurred we had no issues at all, if you have even the slightest opportunity to go to this space, don't hesitate to do it ...

Our days on this project were beautiful! We helped in the construction of a room at the Center.. we worked about 4 to 5 hours a day, always followed by a delicious lunch prepared by Lilia. The room is beautiful, it has a private bathroom and kitchen. The surroundings are nice and with a view of the mountains.

The experience with Lilia was incredible!! Lilia is a very pleasant person willing to share and teach, and she also has many stories about the Elqui Valley. It was a pleasure to stay for a week in the house that Lilia offered; it is very comfortable and the meals prepared by Lilia are exquisite. The chores are calm and well respected. Thank you very much for everything, Lilia

My first experience as a volunteer was at the center. I arrived a bit shy when facing something new, however, after a short time that change came thanks to the hostesses and the place. Lilia and Mayling greeted me with energy and a good attitude; they were always cheerful and willing to listen to me and share their stories, even though some days the fatigue was great. They provided me with a beautiful place to sleep, as well as space to connect with myself and nature through activities at the center and outdoors. I am very grateful for the time we shared.
