As soon as I arrived at the Center, I instantly felt at home and the whole volunteering crew felt like a family. Isaias and his family are building something really incredible in this beautiful nature, you can choose on what you would like to work on and you can arrange your working hours yourself. I had a lot of fun trying and building new things and that whole week just felt like a dream to me. Thank you to everyone who made it so special <3

I had the pleasure of volunteering with Isaias and his wonderful family. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. One day, they even took us to the beach, which was such a thoughtful and fun outing. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by beautiful scenery that made the entire experience even more special. Isaias made sure everyone was comfortable and happy with their assigned tasks, and we were given the flexibility to work at the times that suited us. It was a perfect balance of work and genuine hospitality—an experience I would highly recommend

100% recommended! The place: beautiful, incredible views of the sea including sunrise and sunset, even when breathing in the morning, climbing around on the cliffs, on the beach. The work: 5 hours mainly constructing with bamboo/wood, painting, gardening. You will definitely sweat a lot! 🥵 (some tasks more strenuous than others) Accommodation: Tent or Airbnb house where you are woken up by the sun 🌞 Isais, Johanna,children(2 dogs, 1 cat who love to cuddle): incredibly lovely people, show different places. THANK YOU!🙏 If you like nature, you will love it🌱

The Center is a very special place. Not only will you connect with nature, but also you will meet and learn a lot from the passionate and ambitious family of Isaias. They're the nicest people you will ever meet and really encourage you to take on the tasks that also fit with your passion. I had great conversations with everyone when im there and felt that I was so lucky to feel their love and be among many beautiful nature spots. It's truly a place for healing the soul :)

The Center was a much-needed experience for me :) Everyone on the property was so accommodating and helpful, and the experience brought on loads of collaboration and connection with the land. Isaias gave us flexibility on what we wanted to work on and our hours, so I ended up bouncing around from bamboo building to sign painting. It's a tough environment sometimes- very hot and a bit isolated since there aren't shops nearby, but you'll come out much stronger!
