The Experience
Our form of living is simply rural and modest without luxury and pretension as well as having some places to meditate and tune into the energy of the environment. The volunteering is only an exchange for accomodation. We live in a permanent relationship with nature and our daily work allows us to marvel even more each day at the beauty of our environment.

I'm writing the review after returning from my backpacking trip in South America and staying at the community was one of the really memorable parts of my trip. The farm has a nice, laid-back atmosphere as Ale and Cris are so lovely. The animals are great too. Everyone eats together so it's really sociable..in short, I would definitely recommend volunteering here!
