I loved teaching yoga at the place and to share my healing practices with confirmed therapist like Sonia. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was healthy and the nature is amazing. It was a beautiful experience.

I got the opportunity to spend almost 1 month in the lodge and I absolutely love this place! It's magical and surrounded by nature! I was welcomed super friendly, the volunteer room is shared with others but spacious, I have 2 yoga classes per day and 1 day free. The meals were delicious and they take into account your preference (veggie, not liking something). People can take some time to warm up but then are super lovely, you get to practice your Spanish, enjoy tours and be in nature! I loved my time here!!! Gracias por todos 🌞

Thank you so much for sharing your time and energy with us. Your yoga classes were wonderful, always well prepared and adapted to the group. Guests really appreciated your calm presence and the way you guided each session with care and dedication.

We also want to thank you for being so responsible, easygoing, and positive. You integrated very naturally with the team and created a beautiful connection with the travelers.

It was truly a pleasure to host you!
All the best

Even if there are not enough words to describe the outstanding experience that it was I would say: It is an incredible place where you can connect with nature, people in the kitchen were more than kind I felt them almost like family and Jose was amazing. The time there has changed my life and I am grateful it was possible in such an amazing place. Gracias the lodge 🫶🏻
