Mariana & Andrea were the perfect hosts! I felt really comfortable even though it was the bush-bush ;) I really liked thework I was doing, making walls, painting, clearing a camping zone . The hours are really good. I also like to get to know their vision for the project and I hope they can make it into a super chido camping soon. It is a shame I only stayed 2 weeks. The only critical note I have is to do with the aggression of the dogs, I know M&A are on it but I still had a fright. a few tips for future volunteers: bring a swear, natural bug repellent and lots of good books.

Siempre estuvieron al pendiente de mi, de como me sentía y mis necesidades, desde un principio fueron claros con los acuerdos, objetivos y retos que tendriamos (tienen buenas líderes). Las comidas muy ricas y las tardes libres para recreación. El lugar regala bellísimo paisaje a los volcanes. Recomiendo RSR para quienes buscan encontrarse con la naturaleza en un lugar tranquilo.
