Magical. This was one of the most special volunteer opportunities that I've been a part of. From the very beginning I felt part of the family at the eco village. To be living off the land, working in nature, slowing down, and sinking into this beautiful l crystal landscape was an experience that I'll never forget. I was really looking for a sense of community in coming to this area after so much time on the move, and I felt very fortunate to have landed here with Gonzalo and family living here. I loved being a part of the construction of the geodesic dome, clearing trail, and building compost.

It was a great experience! I arrived in mid january and stayed 4 weeks. Good company with Gonzalo and Raul (other volunteers too). It needs some time to get used to the environment and all the daily tasks that needs to be done (when we were not so many the daily tasks - that were not concidered as work to the ~5h/day (no fixed shifts) - felt like much work), but with time you get into the rythm, and it can be really chill. But overall the nature, living simple, not consuming much... Helped me a lot processing thaughts! It's an Experience on it's own, that I definitely recommend! Thx G&R (&co.)

I had a great time at the eco village! It was so nice to disconnect and really get in touch with nature. It was a really nice escape that I hope to come back to one day. The simple way of life brings us back to the basics and filled me with a sense of calmness. Thank you so much for everything Gonzalo!

I am lost for words, no short or extremely long comment could ever be enough to describe what the eco village and Gonzalo have done for me. Put in a simple way there was a before and an after the eco village. So from the bottom of my heart thank you! Thank you for creating such a magical place. I am deeply grateful for the time, the freedom, the space you gave me. I was able to be me , to play like a child again, to experience embracing failure. To learn a lot about myself , plants, everything really. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable and valuable experience. Take care, love. Meli
