The Experience
El Santuario trabaja hace más de 12 años ofreciendo una vida llena de paz y dignidad a caballos que han sufrido distintos tipos de maltratos. Entre otras cosas, alberga equinos provenientes de programas de sustitución de la tracción a sangre, víctimas de abusos, abandono o incluso explotados en deportes o tradiciones. Con el tiempo se fueron sumando animales de muchas otras especies, todos sobrevivientes de alguna forma de explotación.

Conecté con la naturaleza y los animales como nunca lo habia hecho, es un lugar rodeado de paisajes hermosos. ⛰️🐖🐎 En los momentos de descanso se puede ir al río. Me la pasé comiendo cosas riquísimas! el equipo del santu parecen MasterChef. 🧑🍳 Le recomiendo esta experiencia a quienes amen a los animales tanto como yo, hay que estar predispuesto a aprender y colaborar. Buen lugar para desconectar del caos de la ciudad y hacer vida de campo🏕️

Fue increíble vivir 1 mes en el refugio. Estoy agradecido por cada experiencia, aprendizaje y por las personas que conocí.Para quienes buscan una conexión verdadera con la naturaleza y los animales, este es el lugar indicado: aprendes a respetarlos y cuidarlos. La rutina está bien organizada, con una lista clara de tareas, lo que facilita el día a día. Y sobre la comida...¡sin palabras! No soy vegano, pero con la calidad de las comidas del refugio, fácilmente lo sería. Agradezco a los coordinadores por la hospitalidad. Llevo esta experiencia en el corazón. Nos vemos pronto.

Mi experiencia en el refugio fue hermosa. No sabía nada de los animales y pronto me sentí muy cómoda. Los voluntarios tenemos una casa aparte del equipo, trabajamos cada mañana en autonomía con los animales y pasamos nuestro tiempo libre juntos, a veces vamos al rio! Almorzamos y cenamos con el equipo del refugio, comida basada en plantas, riquísima! Tenemos lo necesario para desayunar en nuestra casa pero pueden traer algunas cosas suyas. Encantó vivir desconectada de la cuidad y cerca de los animales. Todo el equipo es muy lindo, estoy muy agradecida por haber vivido este experiencia :)
