I really enjoyed my time volunteering with Ricardo at the home. The work was very chilled and it was amazing to spend time with the kids at the local school which enabled me to immerse myself in the culture and work on my Spanish. Although the location was outside of Flores the lake and local area meant there was enough to do and it felt like you were apart of the local community. The only thing was that there was not many other volunteers staying there during my time so it wasn't the most social.

El Remate is a beautiful place and I have loved my time here. It's very quiet and peaceful so it's good if your looking for a chilled time. The absolute highlight was going to the local school every day. The children are amazing and we had so much fun playing different games (mainly football) and introducing some games in English which they picked up super quickly. Ricardo is an excellent host and his project with the local school is great, I would recommend this experience 100% just be aware you will likely be the only volunteer here .

Very relaxing town Richi is a great host and has two cute dogs. He brought us to meet local friends and hang out with us. We also had a great time getting along with the local children.

It was my first workaway but it could not have been better. We spent our days swimming in the lake and exploring the nearby places. The children were really sweet and I really hope they're gonna have a better future. I definitely recommend this experience to anyone who likes children, nature and chill vibes.
