Fabulous experience in a nice Kichwa family of 5 people. The project is a real gem within the community, and sharing is the key word of the experience. We feel included from the participation of the project to the convivial moments in family. The family only speaks Spanish and Kichwa, so it can be a little difficult for a non-native speaker. However, they are very inclusive and make an effort to share their culture and traditions with you. I was the only volunteer for the first week and was joined by another for the second, so the experience is personal and far from the large group volunteerin

For anyone interested in an immerisive cultural experience in the heart of the Amazon, while learning about the vast diversity of the region's flora and fauna, I highly reccommendthe reserve. The entire family were extremely welcoming and made a daily effort to keep things fun and interesting. Don't miss out

Esta fue mi primera experiencia de voluntariado y fue increíble. La ubicación, las actividades y la familia son increíbles. Realmente me sentí parte de la familia y que había hecho amigos. Se aseguraron de que tuviera actividades interesantes para hacer y, aunque dice que no hay comida en los días libres, siempre me proporcionaron comida saludable decente. Pequeñas cosas como ayudarme con mis maletas a mi partida. Realmente no me puedo quejar de nada con mi experiencia. Fue una aventura y al mismo tiempo me sentí como en casa. Gracias a todos de nuevo por una experiencia maravillosa.

Recomiendo la experiencia alla reserva. El proyecto de Edison y su familia es increible !! Ella reserva es un lugar maravilloso, una immersion total en la naturaleza. El trabajo cambia todos los dias : se puede cuidar de los senderos, sembrar arboles, cuidar della reserva, recoger cacao... Ademas con lo poco tiempo libre que tienen, te llevan a visitar lugares, a hacer tubing o tour de noche y se puede compartir con todas las generaciones de la familia. Gracias a todos, no voy a olvidar la Isla Anaconda.

Vivir la Experiencia en la reservaha Sido una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida si no la mejor. Amé el contacto con la gente local, muy amables, serviciales y dispuestos a transmitir sus conocimientos. Lo súper recomiendo además que es un lindo proyecto de emprendimiento familiar. La conexión con la naturaleza, el medio ambiente te reinicia la vida. Además de que aprendes a ver la esencia de la humanidad basada en valores que quizás en otras civilizaciones son más escasos.
