Wow, so so grateful to have spent a short but sweet time at the Center. A little sanctuary in the jungle, Bagha and the team were all so kind, the work was different and enjoyable everyday (making veggie sausages, kombucha, gardening, cooking, teaching English) the facilities were clean and lovely. The food was delicious and filling and of course I was able to learn a fair bit of Spanish. We also had the opportunity to see a lot of the surrounding area in Tena. I would have loved to have stayed much longer. Thankyou so much

I really enjoyed my experience at the Center. The place is a true haven of peace where you can come to relax, meditate, or practice yoga. The team is fantastic and very welcoming. The tasks are only in the morning and are enriching and varied. As for the meals, they are vegetarian but very, very good and diverse. Tena is also a place in the heart of the Amazon that is well worth a visit. I highly recommend this volunteering experience.

The Center was a beautiful experience, located in the middle of the jungle, but still with good connections to nearby towns and communities and of course the pearls in nature like Laguna Azul or simply the little river nearby. The volunteer was very diverse, learning a bit about growing plants, making compost and building boxes for the bees, and other little tasks. People have been very kind and helpful, Bhaga has been caring all the way. I wish everyone to experience the tranquility of the jungle and the power of the storm (hiding under the techo in the hammock jaja) Much love <3

My experience at the Center was pretty rad. I stayed for for around a month and I learned a lot about living off the land, met with a bunch of locals and had a blast. Highly recommend.

The Center is an incredible lovely place. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. I had a great stay surrounded by nature. I learned a lot about planting, we visited vanilla farms and got to know about so many things. The food we ate together was always delicious. Thank you for such a lovely atmosphere and the opportunity to learn about nature.

The Center was an amazing experience and truly opened my eyes to the importance of mindfulness and meditation. From the moment you get there it's very welcoming. Bhaga does an amazing job of providing many opportunities to experience different things the Center has to offer like sound therapy and a cacao ceremony. I truly recommend this place I learned so much!

I had an absolutely wonderful time at the Center. The place is magical and there is plenty to do on your days off. I enjoyed swimming in the pool, rivers, and taking a day trip to Misahualli to see monkeys. The food is excellent and the diversity of plants is incredible. We also got to help out at Bagas English School which I really enjoyed. 100% recommend

The Center is a magical place. All the workers and Baga are doing their best to make and keep this place as amazing as it is. It's a volunteering but it feels like a retreat in heaven as well. If you are a nature lover it's the perfect place to go. They truly make you feel at home. Work is never hard and they are quite respectful and helpful. I miss you guys already ☺️🌹

I absolutely loved my stay at the Center, and could not recommend it enough. If you love living surrounded by nature and great people, then the Center is for you. Ben and all of the staff are wonderful people who truly make you feel welcome, they are all very educated in wellness and wellbeing and you can learn a lot from their practices and daily life in Tena if you’d like. All of the volunteering tasks were straightforward and well explained, Ben respected all agreed upon hours and gave a schedule which I really appreciated. If I am in the area again I would love to come back!
