The Experience

Our space consists of rooms built sustainably using the Earthship method, green spaces with natural pastures, a natural pool; we have two dogs and two cats and a restaurant. The idea is that guests can feed and accompany the animals, and carry out gardening tasks in the natural pasture we have.

The work is really hard but you learn a lot. The hotel is located in a calm and rural environment and the city is charming. The food was great and the volunteers shared tasks and moments. Mauro and Jesi are really good hosts and they do all they can to create a good experience for the volunteers.

My stay was wonderful. Mauro and Jesica are extraordinary people, always willing to help with anything necessary (just like Jelen, Santi, and all the other workers). They fulfilled everything agreed (the room, the bathroom and the shared kitchen with the guests are incredibly comfortable) and the tasks were varied, with total freedom to distribute them throughout the day as I saw fit. the accommodation is an exceptional place and the biopool delighted me. The cats and dogs, all very friendly, also contributed to make my stay unforgettable. Without a doubt I recommend it!

Voluntariar en Calihu fue una experiencia hermosa, desde que llegue los Jesi y Mauro me hicieron sentir parte de la familia, fueron muy flexibles con los horarios y super atentos en cada momento. Las instalaciones estan en perfectas condiciones y son muy comodas, habitacion con calefaccion, cocina equipada, alimentos para cocinarte. El lugar es un paraiso a unos minutos del centro, ellos siempre me ofrecieron ir con ellos o tambien te brindan bicis como transporte. Las tareas van desde ayudar en la jardineria, al mantenimiento de las cosas. Sin dudas un hermoso voluntariado!

Mi paso por el alojamiento fue muy grata, desarrolle nuevas habilidades, entablé muy buena amistad con los voluntarios y Mauro con Jessica te hacen sentir muy cómodo. Las labores son diferentes cada día y pueden ser pesadas dependiendo del clima pero puedes comunicarlo a Jessica y Mauro y entenderán. Gracias el alojamiento ! Extrañare la calma de colonia y a las mascotas que saludaban todos los días! Estoy seguro que este proyecto será un éxito sino es que ya lo es.
