The host it's a special place, the location was wonderful since you're close enough to downtown but far enough that you could enjoy nature at all times. Guadalupe, Rick and their family are amazing people. Working hours were always respected. Most of the times we took care of the domes (cleaning) feeding the chickens and some days we were provided with specific assignments previously discussed with Guadalupe and Rick. Once again thanks for everything we will keep you guys in our hearts and in our thoughts. Blessings

My experience at the host left me with many lessons, especially in the tasks at the sawmill. The work is quite calm and manageable, which makes the experience very pleasant. Also, it's a great place to connect with nature and enjoy the surroundings. I also felt very comfortable with the hosts: Guada and Ricardo are very kind, attentive people and always willing to help. I would 100% recommend!!!

The host was our first volunteering experience, and we left there more than satisfied and grateful; we felt it prepared us for the upcoming volunteer opportunities, we learned and reinforced more than one area of knowledge, such as firewood collection, cleaning, and we absorbed a lot of the local culture; we felt like family more than once. Guada and Ricki are excellent hosts, thank you very much for this opportunity!

The host is a home in the mountains, it was my refuge, a magical place, a starry sky at night and very clear during the day, the walks to the city offer unique and unforgettable views, every day a new landscape. Guada and Riqui are impeccable hosts, full of wisdom and knowledge that they share without restraint, grateful for our collaboration you become part of the family in a blink. Their generosity and good values are immeasurable. Elu and Zuri fill the property with laughter and bike rides that complete the beautiful landscape in which one lives. Thanks to everyone :)

My experience with the host was excellent. The tasks were accessible and well organized, which allowed me to get to know the surroundings of the place without difficulty and really enjoy the environment. Guada, Ricardo and their kids were always very willing, friendly and attentive, making me feel comfortable from the very first moment. The place is ideal for being in touch with nature, disconnecting from the cellphone and connecting with the simple things. I left very satisfied and grateful for the experience.

Our experience at the host was very beautiful, it exceeded our expectations. Guada and Ricardo welcomed us very well, they were always attentive to what we needed. The place is beautiful, with an incredible landscape. The location seemed perfect for exploring and getting to know new places. The tasks are very relaxed, so we could enjoy them to the fullest. If you're thinking about going, we highly recommend it 😊

The scenery and the surroundings are beautiful, but our experience as volunteers was very bad. The accommodation was a shack inside a lumber yard and was not in safe or livable conditions. During the stay we found a constant presence of rodents and rat droppings inside the place where we lived. When we expressed our concern, we felt it was minimized, showing little concern for us. We believe it is important that future volunteers know the true conditions of the accommodation before going, as the photos do not fully show the place!

Our experience with this volunteer program was not good, and we decided to leave early due to hygiene, comfort, and handling of situations.
We always fulfilled our tasks, but the housing was next to a wood storage area; it was very cold and there were cleanliness problems.
The most serious thing was finding rats and feces inside the place. When we reported it, we felt that our concerns were minimized.
We left because we no longer felt comfortable or safe, although we always maintained respect and fulfilled our work.
I hope this helps you and you take it into account

My experience with the host was incredible.
The place is simply beautiful, totally immersed in nature, bringing a sense of peace and a very special connection.
From the arrival, Guadalupe and Ricardo treated me with a lot of affection and attention, always helpful and only respecting what was agreed.
Even though I didn't know Spanish, they were very patient to teach me and to communicate with me.
Their children are lovely, totally kind, intelligent and full of light, which make the environment even more special.
I will certainly miss all of them.
I leave with a desire to come back soon.

Volunteering with Guada and Ricky was one of the most enriching experiences we shared. We started the morning calmly, organizing our day, having some mates, and chatting. They were willing at all times to take us to the town, they were attentive to us and our comfort, as well as to the meals and that we had free time to go out and explore and get to know the surroundings. They welcomed us like family, we shared a beautiful time with their children, and the animals who accompanied us daily. We left with the desire to return❤️

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
