I spent 4 weeks on the lodge and I absolutely loved the experience. From a subjective point of view, it completely matched my expectations, which were: Being fully immersed in nature, learning to work with my hands, working within a caring team, Eating well, Sleeping in a comfortable place. From an objective standpoint, and to prevent any mistake in choosing this volunteer opportunity, it is neither a social nor a restful one. The work that needs to be done is not simple; it is physical. If you enjoy LIVING in the fores with tranquility: I totally recommend you this Jungle Adventure!

Volunteering at the lodge was an amazing experience. The work was interesting and fun (minus the washing up). Jurgen is an extremely generous and kind host, and the team he has Estheban, Celina and Patricia are all amazing people. The reserve itself is in a beautiful area with many birds, monkey, snakes etc. Jurgen is an excellent cook and there was always enough food. I am very grateful to have found this place, and hopefully I can return one day. I left my pair of boots (size 41) with Estheban. So if these fit you message him before you arrive so you don't have to buy some!

I loved working with Patti and Celina's cooking is unbeatable. Estafan is nice and friendly. I didn't feel welcomed by Jurgen and unfortunately that impacted my experience a lot. He was cold to me and would often call my questions stupid. He was very warm to another volunteer though, and would only speak to me to ask where she was. Free days were non existent so be prepared to work when Jurgen feels like it.

Sorry Jessie, but I 'm always cold to volunteers who do not like to help. I heard that even the days before I arrived you were not helping at all. Luckily you helped me well the last week otherwise you would have received an insufficient.

An amazing experience. Jurgen and his staff were incredibly friendly, they welcomed me very warmly and I felt right at home. The site and surroundings are unforgettable, literally in the middle of the jungle. The food, especially because of how rural it is, is superb and international. Best "European" bread in all of Colombia ^^. The work was as agreed and if you like there is always something to do. Highly recommended!

La experiencia desde el primer momento es estar siempre dispuesto a escuchar y saber que siempre una mano mas es valiosa para cualquier cosa que pueda pasar, estamos en la selva así que todo esta a tu disposición, a favor o en contra según como tu lo recibas, volvería nuevamente a perderme, pues valió la pena el aprendizaje, acuérdate que en la multitud de consejos hay sabiduría.

El alojamiento es un lugar único. El solo hecho que exista es de admirar. Todos los servicios funcionan a las perfeccion y es comodo para ser un lugar tan remoto. El equipo de trabajo esta compuesto por muchos individuos locales de Orito con un gran corazón, una pasión por enseñar y aprender de lo que la naturaleza tiene para brindarnos. El trabajo es fuerte y requiere esfuerzo físico pero vale totalemente la pena. Estoy muy agradecido de tener esta experiencia.

El alojamiento es un mágico lugar sumergido en medio de la selva en el Putumayo, el alojamiento conserva la naturaleza con toda su fauna y su flora intacta, hay senderos maravillosos para el avistamiento de aves, monos, mariposas y muchas especies más, el alojamiento tiene muchas quebradas y ríos con paisajes inolvidables

J'ai beaucoup aimé le mois passé dans la réserve the lodge! L'endroit permet vraiment de se connecter a la nature tout en restant confortable. L'équipe est très sympa et bienveillante. Concernant le travail, il y a pleins de tâches différentes à effectuer dans la réserve (création de sentiers, réparation, jardinage,…). Toutes les tâches sont physiques mais vous pourrez trouver un réconfort avec les bons plats de la cuisinière.
