Excelente lugar para desarrollar tu conciencia ambiental. Aprendí mucho de ecotecnologias, muy amables me enseñaron a cocinar platillos de la región. Es un ambiente muy cómodo, divertido, te hacen sentir como en casa. Tienes contacto directo con la naturaleza y puedes explorar la región.

Mi experiencia fue increíble! Una familia súper cálida y amorosa, me hicieron sentir como en casa desde el día uno. Las charlas e intercambio de sabiduría fue increíble, hermosos valores! Entre todo lo que me compartieron de su asociación 🍃 Siempre respetaron mis horarios. Me enseñaron muchisimo, desde hacer mermeladas, papel reciclado, su cocina, el proceso de purificación de agua! Extendí mi voluntariado por todo lo que estoy aprendido y disfrutando, gracias a esta hermosa familia 💚✨💚

Si quieres tener un voluntariado con propósito y aprender sobre la organización sostenible, este es el lugar!. Desde el momento en que llegué me hicieron sentir como un miembro más de la familia, muy amables y dispuestos a ayudarte en lo que ocupes, además que la comida es increíble y saludable. Una experiencia increíble en la que pude conocer acerca de ecología y medio ambiente, pude rodearme de la naturaleza y aprender sobre la cultura y la comunidad. Me llevo todos los recuerdos en mi corazón y espero poder volver en otra oportunidad.
