My experience at the project was very good and different from what I am used to. I mainly participated in planting activities, worked on eco-farms and cared for the pigs, learning a lot about community work and sustainable living. I met very kind people and greatly enjoyed the sociability and the atmosphere of the place. Although at times there was a bit more organization missing, overall it was a positive experience that I recommend to those who want to connect more with nature and learn new things.

My experience in the project was pleasant. I met incredible people who, from the first day, made me feel at home. I had very beautiful moments and made friendships that I know I will keep for the rest of my life. At the same time, on some occasions there was a certain sense of disorganization, especially in matters such as meal times and some tasks in which I wasn't always clear about what I should do. Apart from that, I really enjoyed the experience!

Genial lugar para poder aprender toda la experiencia de una vida en el campo ,desde ordeñar las vacas hasta hacer queso y comerlo para merendar es una de las cosas más chidas por las que se puede pasar , en general muy buen sitio muy muy bello , los animales son muy geniales , y en lo personal el clima es muy impredecible pero con un impermeable te la vives muy a gusto.

Estuve dos meses en the project, me hicieron sentir como en casa y aprendí muchas cosas sobre la vida del the project. Recomendaría una mejor comunicación con los voluntarios y organización en general, hubo momentos dónde no sabía muy bien cuáles eran mis responsabilidades, fuera de eso fué una gran experiencia que me permitió conectar con la naturaleza y aprender mucho, además comí delicioso. Lo recomiendo para personas muy proactivas que no tengan problema con todo lo que conlleva estar en medio de la naturaleza 😊
