The Experience

Actualmente las actividades son la ganadería de leche y el turismo, el objetivo es con los voluntarios transformar la propiedad para que la actividad principal sea el turismo ecológico (esto se lograra eliminando la ganadería poco a poco y sembrando todo tipo de plantas). Esperamos compromiso de trabajo y cumplimiento del horario, obedecer las recomendaciones por su seguridad. Queremos que el voluntario se sienta en casa! :)

Je recommande absolument d'aller faire un volontariat à the farm avec Alegria et Francisco ! Ils sont acceuillants, bienveillant et toujours au petit soin pour que le séjour se passe bien. J'ai pu participé aux tâches quotidiennes de la protection de la réserve en plantant des nouveaux plants, en arpentant le site ou en dessinant les plantes et animaux présents sur le site. Les tâches sont vraiment aménagé en fonction de vos envies. Alegria et Francisco sont vraiment heureux de vous apprendre toutes leur connaissances sur la jungle, la faune et la flore présente. J'y ai appris tellement !

La experiencia en Malki the farm fue asombrosa , Francisco y Alegría son unos anfitriones excelentes, carismáticos y sobretodo amantes del lugar, aprendes muchos de permacultura y sobre la historia del sitio arqueológico, desde el primer día te hacen sentir como en casa, tienen un proyecto muy ambicioso en el complejo, si quieren vivir una experiencia única lejos del estruendo de la ciudad, vivir la dicha de levantarse y observar y colaborar en la maravillosa naturaleza, se los recomiendo al 100% , espero muy pronto volver y poder colaborar con el proyecto ecológico dentro de Malki 😁😁

La experiencia en la granja es única e increíble. 🤍 Francisco y Alegría son personas muy bellas, definitivamente hacer voluntariado en este lugar llena el alma. Aprendimos muchísimo sobre la historia del lugar, sobre flora y fauna, y a conectarnos con nosotros mismos en la naturaleza. Muchas gracias por todo la granja, esperamos volver pronto🌻

La experiencia en la granja ha sido genial, es un lugar muy tranquilo, con una historia increíble acerca de la cultura indígena del lugar. Francisco y Alegría me enseñaron muchas cosas acerca de preservación del sitio y de la Naturaleza. Me acogieron en su casa como una más de la familia. También aprendí mucho de la cultura Ecuatoriana con los anfitriones y en los alrededores. Además, el lugar es muy espiritual que permite que las personas puedan recargarse de buena energía y encontrar un poco de paz y tranquilidad.
