Omar, Laura, Lupita and Thonny were really welcoming and were happy to show me around Xicotepec de Juárez. I also went hiking with their 20 dogs it was amazing, and to the waterfalls, explored the city and nature. They're very proud about their puebla and gave me alot of information about its history.. Volunteering there was not hard at all, I was not asked to do much, except for painting and photography which were the main things I applied for.

We've decided to end our stay after we arrived at the location. The place didn't quite meet our expectations as we told Omar before leaving.

La labor que hace Omar con los animales rescatados es destacable y las tareas del voluntariado permiten conocer de una manera increíble Xicotepec de Juárez. Además es una persona amable y atenta. Sin embargo, las condiciones del alojamiento no nos parecieron adecuadas y deberían mejorar mucho en cuanto a limpieza.

Fue una experiencia inesperada, nos conectamos mucho con la cultura local, las historias del pueblo. Aprendimos mucho sobre espiritualidad mexicana, descubrimos lugares increíbles dentro de la naturaleza e incluso participamos en un Temazcal. 100% recomendado
