It was an interesting experience and the community is really nice. Since we were the only volunteers (my boyfriend and I) at the moment, and Aureliano didn't sleep often in the house, we stayed some afternoons and nights alone in the camping site. But I did enjoy the work and the volunteer experience is really fair.

No geral foi muito bom! As tarefas são limpeza, recepção de hóspedes e ajuda na construção do camping, basicamente. Tivemos que carregar madeiras grandes para pintar, então esteja preparado, porque você pode ter que fazer o mesmo. Mas são tarefas operacionais e bem simples no geral. Uma coisa que recomendo é alinhar os dias de folga certinho assim que chegar. Em resumo, o lugar é lindo, passa ônibus perto, tem churrasqueira que todos podem usar, cozinha bem equipada, Aureliano é uma pessoa incrível e nos conectou com pessoas incríveis e super recomendo essa experiência.

Si quieres conectarse con la naturaleza, es lo mejor lugar! Aure es muy buena onda y sociable! Fue nuestro primero trabajo voluntario y ello nos enseñó muchas cosas. Nuestras tareas fueran básicamente limpieza, recepción de huéspedes, pintura y ayuda para cargar las piezas de los nuevos el camping. Siempre que necesitábamos algo Aure nos ayudaba, principalmente con las comidas! Fue una buena experiencia! Una pequeña recomendación es que combinen antes los días libres para dejar todo listo!
