I loved volunteering here! The people of the shelter are amazing and you get to meet and learn about all the animals they have there. The work is hard but satisfying and I learned a lot! The only thing is that most of the people speak little english, but it is a very good practice for your Spanish :)

Long story short: volunteering in the host was by far the most mind blowing experience I made so far. Being so close to and working with all those animals we had an awesome time and could learn a lot about wildlife and animal care. To all those who worked with us I want to say thank you for an amazing time and keep up the good work. the host is a project worth supporting and the world can be glad to have people working with such passion and commitment for animals!

It was such a wonderful experience! I stayed for 2 weeks but it went by too fast! Everyone was super nice. You can tell that everyone here truly cares about all the animals in the park and all the animals love them as well! AND all of the animals are rescues. If you love animals, you should definitely come!

This is a unique experience. The all team is super friendly and professional. Jorge is helpful and flexible. You can ask him anything. I've learned so much things about animals. You can feed them, learn about the nutrition, and even participate to bird show. I definitely recommend this volonteer. Hopefully I can come back in the future. Thanks for this amazing experience that I will never forget 🙏😃🇪🇨
