My experience at the reserve was wonderful. The landscape and mountains are truly beautiful. The place is a 1 hour bus ride from Lonquimay. I really enjoyed my time volunteering for a month and can only recommend it to other volunteers who love the nature. Carlos is a caring man that does his best to make you feel comfortable and happy. The work times are very flexible and vary depending on the time of the year. For me I spent most of the time creating a path through the mountains and woods for future tourists. But we also spent many days camping and visiting other beautiful places in the region.

A experiência foi muito boa. O lugar é lindo e cheio de história, é perfeito para se conectar com a natureza, com você mesmo e para fazer muito trekking. Há cozinha, banheiros e lavanderia, mas em dias frios a água congela na tubería e tem que buscar do rio. As tarefas são como a de uma vida campesina e o trabalho é bastante físico e depende do clima. Não é uma localização fácil para conhecer muitas outras cidades, porque para chegar ou sair pode ser complicado por causa da neve na estrada, por isso, se organize e converse com o anfitrião antes para coordenar como fazer.

La la reserva es un sítio apasionante. El Refugio está en medio de la nada y al mismo tiempo de todo que necesitas para estar cerca de ti mismo. Si quieres disfrutar tienes que estar abierto a lo nuevo. Hay trabajo duro, con nieve todo es muy lindo pero todo se congela, hasta las tuberías. Y sin nieve es igual de bonito pero aún más trabajo. En el tiempo libre tienes que estar abierto a compartir. Las comidas son grupales, desde desayuno hasta la cena. Hay mucha conversa y reflexión. No hicimos muchos senderos. Pero los que caminé fueron hermosos. La experiencia dejó la la reserva en mi corazón 🫶🏼

Verdadera experiencia la la reserva, trabajo duro y gratificante. Pudimos disfrutar de los hermosos paisajes, el silencio de la reserva, la cercanía con animales. A nivel personal, sentimos que no contábamos con tiempo libre, ni se establecieron previamente días libres por lo cual no nos fue posible continuar más tiempo en el voluntariado. Previamente hablamos con Carlos y nos ayudó a conseguir otro lugar donde voluntariar. Chaltu May la la reserva!
