Vilarcangel has been my first volunteering experience and I am so grateful for that.

I got to know great people who were very welcoming and available to help and make you have a great volunteering experience.

The tasks are very connected to nature and physical work, in a very positive and enjoyable way.

The place is beautiful and makes you feel at home.

Vilarcangel really goes beyond a volunteering place: I've learned so much, I've spent so much quality time and visited so many places with the host and the people. To me they are a second family❤️

I 100% suggest this place.

This experience was such a gift, Ulises is a very welcoming person, full of knowledge and with multiple passions he is willing to share. This experience is the perfect example, he combines, the work of an ecological farm, whit the beauty of meeting different kinds of artists and the opportunity to discover more about spirituality. All in a beautiful place, whit a lot to discover. A perfect place to find more about yourself, other and the world. The work is not easy, especially whit the heat, but nicely rewarded and done with respect and integrity. I'm grateful for everything.

My time time in Vilarcangel was one of the best I've had with Worldpackers! The work was usually easy and only 3h a day. I stayed in a room with a wwoofer which was nice. Ulises and everyone living in there were so warm and welcoming and always in a good mood. I also got to participate in a retreat, which there are sometimes on the weekends and met some locals. I loved getting to know Ulises, Ian, Rafa and everyone else, being shown around, making music together and of course learning about biodiversity. A truly inspiring experience! :)
