This was by far my best volunteering experience! From day one, I was welcomed as part of the family❤️ I was completely immersed in the local culture, everyone was so warm and lovely. I was also extremely lucky to take part in a hiking day to do some bird watching!! As for the work, it was fairly simple and chill, it varied alot depending if there where guests or not which I enjoyed. And the hostel is so lovely! If you want to disconnect from the city, enjoy tranquility and be surrounded by nature, this is the place🌳🦜 Muchísimas gracias Andres por todo🤗

It really was an incredible experience. I forgot all my stress during that time and was able to switch off like never before. The hostel is a beautiful place to enjoy nature and meet really nice people. You should definitely have a basic understanding of Spanish in order to be able to communicate without problems, although the hosts really try even if you don't understand Spanish. I was able to learn a lot of new things on this trip and experience unforgettable moments. I definitely recommend it!

El lugar es increíble, muy lindo y tranquilo. Es perfecto para conectar con la naturaleza y aprender sobre pájaros. Las actividades son sencillas y el horario es flexible. Andrés y su familia son muy amables, te reciben como si también fueras de la familia. Andrés siempre está pendiente de cómo estás y que no te falte comida. Súper recomendado, fue una estancia muy agradable y sin duda espero volver

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue genial. Andrés , su familia y las personas que frecuentan el lugar son muy amables y tienen una energía muy linda. Las tareas y horarios fueron flexibles y se desarrollaron según lo acordado además los compromisos fueron respetados. Es un lugar muy tranquilo, ideal para conectar con la naturaleza y la cultura local. Tuve la oportunidad de conocer algunas cascadas y ver muchos animales de la región que nunca había visto. Disfruté mucho colaborar en este proyecto. 100% recomendado!
