My time at the host was a wonderful experience that I'll always remember with so much love. The place is absolutely beautiful, everywhere I looked there was another amazing view. I have no words to thank Fabiola for all her hospitality, her patience with my Spanish, and especially for her friendship during these days. On my last day, I really didn't want to leave at all, I hope I can come back one day! Thank you for everything!!! ❤️

My first week had some problems, the second week didn't and ended very nicely. The main issue for me was that I did not have enough to eat for the first 4 days, which was made even more difficult from the heavy work like digging and carrying firewood. My host was not there most of the time and the shower was not cold but it wasn't very warm either. I was here in winter. I was not given the tools needed to complete most of the work unless I asked for them, for example I was told to move dirt, but was not given a shovel, and then didn't receive the shovel for maybe an hour after I asked.

Harrison desde un inicio acordamos los alimentos y estuviste de acuerdo, es una lastima que no estuviste a gusto. Estamos en montaña y intentamos de que los voluntarios esten comodos y es por eso que cada dia le pregunte como estaba e intente de solucionar todo lo que me pidio. espero que le valla bien.

It was fun but also some work to do but I did not mind it. The location is beautiful and it has a lot of nature to offer. Felipe is really kind and also the other people living here. It is relatively close to Santiago de Chile as well about 2 hours. I really enjoyed my stay.

If u like to close to the nature, there is a beautiful Andes mountains view can watch and it changes ever day. Felipe and others workers and volunteers are nice, even I can not really speak Spanish, still patiently communicated with google translate! However, there is no hot shower and irregular water and power outages, could be a little bit hard during the winter time, but I think this is something part of mountain life, you just need to get used to it! After that you will feel yourself as a soldier, at least know how to make a fire!
