Mi voluntariado en la finca de Santander fue una experiencia única. Cuidé animales, aprendí carpintería, mantuve las piscinas, podé jardines y árboles frutales, preparé cenas y compartí con otros voluntarios de todo el mundo. También disfruté de caminatas ecológicas y me relacioné con la comunidad local. Fue enriquecedor interactuar con Carmen, la cocinera, y los anfitriones, Sandra y Darío. Recomiendo esta experiencia para quienes buscan naturaleza, cultura y aprendizaje en un entorno orientado a proyectos sostenibles y naturaleza diversa.

Trabajé como community manager en guananí y mis ideas y diseños fueron muy bien recibidos. Llevo en el corazón a Amira, Angélica, Jose, Emy, la señora Carmen, Georgy y el Michi. Santander es precioso y la paz en guananí es única. Ten en cuenta que queda lejos del pueblo y que un taxi hasta guananí te vale aprox 30.000. Recomiendo para quien quiera paz, no para quien quiera estar cerca de lugares atractivos. De todas formas es posible visitar Barichara, San Gil y Las gachas en tu día libre y tanto Sandra cómo Darío tienen disposición de regalarnos viajes y momentos juntos. Gracias!! Volvería

Estoy amando a Worldpacker, Sandra y Darío por esta MARAVILLOSA experiencia , por darme la oportunidad y confiar en mi sin conocerme. La convivencia, conocer su comida, el lenguaje, el ajetreo, la libertad de proponer, el excelente manejo en los tropiezos, la huerta de aromaticas, cosechar papaya, calabaza, mandarinas, limones, las magicas caminatas al pueblo con voluntarios y ELLOS, siempre estar ahí para mi. Gracias, Gracias, Gracias por que he pasado dias geniales con ellos, su equipo de trabajo. Estoy cerca de irme y una parte de mi Alma se queda en GÛANANÍ.

El alojamiento combina lo maravilloso de las montañas santandereanas con un espacio ameno para respirar aire puro y encontrar tranquilidad. Agradezco mucho a Sandra y Darío por abrirme las puertas de su hogar e impulsar espacios para el diálogo y el compartir entre diferentes culturas. Los horarios y tareas del voluntariado se cumplen tal cual a la oferta que se aplica; por otra parte, la comida es deliciosisima. Guardo con mucho cariño también a la familia de voluntarios que encontré en el camino 🌻 Espero volver a visitarlos.

Despertarse a las 6:30 de la mañana me parece exagerado, los primeros dias dormi con un gallinero detras que no me dejo descansar, aunque me cambiaron a un cuarto con baño creo que las condiciones no son adecuadas, no habia internet mas que al lado de la piscina y esto perjudico mucho mi rendimiento laboral. Me senti incomoda porque se respiraba un aire que diferenciaba a los huespedes, de los trabajadores y de los dueños. Sino fuera por Ami, Carmen, Raul y Leidy me hubiera ido pronto como lo hicieron dos voluntarios. No tuve mala relacion con dario y sandra. No tienen personal suficiente
