The Experience

Planting, running, climbing, swimming, fishing, reading—do whatever you want to do. We only need 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon to feed the animals on our ranch, as well as to water the garden in the afternoons—the garden you plant. With time left for your personal development, we invite you to engage with the surrounding nature, giving you the opportunity to admire and observe.

Laurynas and I are truly grateful for the opportunity to experience the magic of this place. The volunteering was well balanced, with flexible tasks that left us plenty of time for our own projects and ideas.
What we loved most is the space the ranch offers - both literally and creatively. The host family is open-minded and supportive, allowing volunteers to contribute in ways that feel natural and meaningful.
The time flew by and saying goodbye to family, nature and animals was not easy. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories ❤️

This has been my first ever trip through worldpackers and I can't express how grateful I am to have landed in Álamos at the reserve. I feel like I found a second family there, everybody has been more than warm, welcoming and kind. Besides the breathtaking nature and views, abundance of animals and the welcoming local community I had so much fun. Thank you so much for having me! Hope to see you again in the future 😊

Absolutamente todo fue un sueño! Desde que llegué a Álamos, mi bienestar emocional comenzó a mejorar hasta el punto de sentirme por primera vez en mi vida completamente en paz! Absolutamente todo fluyó de una manera increíble, y no sólo se debe a los espectaculares paisajes, aire, comida, trato humano, sino incluso detalles como el hecho que hasta los animales me trataron como si los conociera desde siempre! La descripción con la que anuncian este voluntariado se queda chico en comparación con la experiencia real. Recomiendo esta experiencia al 1000%!!!
