I had such a lovely experience at Centro!! It was my first time volunteering and I will definitely do it again in the future!
I am very grateful for all the lovely staff and volunteers I got to meet and also for all the meals provided (the food is soo good)!!
Such a beautiful place with very wholesome energy and the surrounding forest, lake and mountains make it uniquely gorgeous!:))

I had an amazing time at Centro! I loved the place, the food, the nature, the cats and peacocks as well of course. The work was fine and I had lots of free time to work on my own things or hang out. The staff and other volunteers are really what made my experience so great though, I'll always have lots of fond memories of this place thanks to them :)

I went with my partner and we stayed for three weeks. The experience was truly wonderful! The place is incredibly beautiful, surrounded by nature and animals, and it was such a special environment to spend time in.
What I treasure the most from this experience, though, are the amazing people I met along the way. They made my stay even more meaningful and memorable.
One thing to keep in mind is that I initially expected to help with painting, construction, and gardening, while during my stay, the main need was help with cleaning and maintaining the place. Even so, I really enjoyed my time.

This was my first volunteering experience, and it became an unforgettable and truly valuable experience for me. I had such a fun and fulfilling time, from the people I met and the work I did to the free time I got to enjoy. Everyone was very friendly, and I also had the opportunity to interact with many animals. The uphill walk I had to do every day was challenging, but this place was absolutely worth it. Thank you so much for an amazing month! ❤️
