He vivido una experiencia irrepetible con una familia indígena del Amazonas. Todos siempre se han portado bien conmigo y ha sido un intercambio cultural muy bonito. Obviamente, las condiciones son muy diferentes para quien está acostumbrado a vivir en la ciudad, pero estás en estrecho contacto con la naturaleza y con una cultura indígena de la que puedes aprender muchas enseñanzas. Puedes aprender mucho sobre plantas medicinales, tradiciones, artesanía, caza, pesca y muchísimo más. Espero algún día poder volver y verlos a todos de nuevo. Gracias otra vez, hasta luego!

Fue una experiencia muy bonita y agradable sobretodo por que la familia de Franco siempre nos recibió de buena manera haciéndonos sentir como parte de su familia, Franco siempre buscó las maneras de hacernos sentir cómodas y ayudándonos en todo, lo que vives ahí es más que un voluntariado, para mí puedo decir que fue un retiro espiritual por que allá es cuando realmente conectas con la naturaleza, agradezco absolutamente todo a Franco y así familia por haberme recibido y enseñarme de su increíble cultura amazónica 💗
