The Experience

We offer you the opportunity to challenge our desert with effort and demonstrate that it is possible to build a place where the beauty of the arid land meets reforestation. After a good breakfast, we will give you specific tasks (in which we will also participate), but you too will be able to develop your proposals for our project.

My experience at the campsite was wonderful. It is a splendid place, very different from everything I knew. Cecilia and Mirian are wonderful hosts and I never wanted for anything. With their neighbors and friends we had lovely evenings around the campfire, and I was very sad to have to leave. I recommend it to everyone and hope to be able to return soon!

We spent a week with Adriano, a person who is very willing to learn, a very nice human being, concerned with carrying out all the tasks he is asked to do in a very respectful and kind manner. Without a doubt we will miss him, and we would highly recommend him.

Me sentí muy a gusto en este voluntariado, Cecilia y su madre son un amor de personas, siempre fueron muy atentas conmigo, hubo comidas muy ricas y variadas. En cuanto al trabajo,realice tareas variadas y muy sencillas, todo muy flexible y en un lugar hermoso al cual volvería sin duda. Espero poder ver en un tiempo los avances del cariño dado este tiempo a espacio. Muy agradecido de la oportunidad de participar. 🫶🏼

Me quedé 1 semana en el camping con Cecilia y me hubiera gustado quedarme más tiempo. No vi pasar el tiempo. Es una anfitriona generosa y una persona de corazón realmente interesante. Conocí a sus amigos, familia, fuimos a música en vivo y también jugamos juntos. Hicimos un asado delicioso alrededor de una fogata bajo las estrellas. La habitación es confortable. Y por último el proyecto el camping es realmente interesante, ella tiene idea y te guía con el trabajo que hay que hacer. 100% recomendable

Me encontre muy bien con cecilia y la senora miriam son dos mujeres increibles simpaticas y muy amables, cada dia vinieron a verme y me trajieron siempre comida libros y regalitos, me senti muy bien y se preocupaban que yo me sintiera a gusto. El proyecto es muy interesante a 20 km de antofagasta existe esta comundiad con la idea de merorar y tener un lugar muy lindo en medio al camping, el proyecto se esta creando y hay muchas cosas que hacer, se necesitan ojos para entender la belleza del camping los dias pasaban y comenzaba siempre mas a ver bonito el lugar
