I had a great time in Hacienda! Had an opportunity to practice my spanish and do some creative work shooting and editing videos. On some days task were diverse, depending on the needs but that was something I enjoyed (being a kind of a shepherd specifically :D) Greetings to the entire team and my fellow volunteers!

This was my first volunteer experience and I would definitely recommend volunteering at the lodge if you are looking to connect with nature and are more flexible with the work because it can vary a lot from day to day. But you will have a lot of free time to experience the incredible scenery of the place. The host was amazing with helping me get to Seville, Cadiz for my days off. I learned a lot more Spanish from this experience, especially with the help from the best teachers Jhon, Laura and Karina. Lastly, special thanks to Daro, Rafa, Sonia, Paqui and Carmen etc. ¡Gracias por todo!

The lodge is a truly beautiful place and and an amazing volunteer position for everyone who likes working with children and being surrounded by nature. The team was welcoming, always kind, and made me feel at home. Daro has a very peculiar personality, he could be a little bit more accommodating with volunteers at the beginning of their stay, but once you get to know him he's a really nice person. I worked as an assistant for activities and sports, together with some cleaning. The job was not hard at all, I just recommend to be very proactive and to take the initiative!

My experience at the lodge was incredible. The location is really nice, spacious, quiet and well maintained. The activities are several but simple because there is always a staff member helping you. Daro is kind and funny, but also very professional and demanding person. I have always been treated with respect and kindness by him. Adaptability, positivity, commitment and respect for the rules are really important. If you work hard and put in the effort, then you will be rewarded. I want to thank all the amazing people i met for this unforgettable experience! THANK YOU!

I had a great time at Hacienda. I arrived in mid-May, lots of activity & lots of kids. Your schedule can change quickly during the busy high season, so just be ready to adapt. If you go with the flow & make an effort to connect with the campers & staff, you'll have a great time. Daro is super chill & helped our volunteer group plan weekend trips to Cadiz & Sevilla. Thank you to Daro, Sonia, & Adama, to the lovely cooks Raffie, Packie, & Ellie, to all the camp staff, & of course to Hallie, Hitesh, Gianluca, & Sara. Miss you all already.
