My days in San Pedro de Atacama were made beautiful because of meeting Manu. He is such an interesting soul, full of high-frequency energy, and I feel truly honored to have crossed paths with him. If you have some knowledge of astronomy, that would be ideal—Manu's team really values such talent. And if you love nature, you'll absolutely fall in love with this place! Grateful for our encounter. Wishing the home Astronomy all the best and continued growth!❤️❤️❤️

Estoy muy muy agradecida con la vida y con Manu por haber hecho posible esta experiencia de voluntariado en el desierto. Ha sido hermoso conectar con las estrellas cada noche, poder transmitir mi gusto y entusiasmo por la casa a otras personas, admirarme con los telescopios y compartir esta alegría y asombro con los turistas y los otros voluntarios. Manu ha sido siempre claro, justo con los horarios y condiciones y muy muy generoso en compartir su hogar y su energía. Solo tengo agradecimiento por todo lo aprendido y vivido, demasiada linda experiencia. Gracias gracias gracias!!!!

Mi experiencia aqui fue maravillosa y muy enriquecedora. Manu, el anfitrión, es una persona con un gran corazón... Dispuesto a compartir sus conocimientos, comunicativo, flexible y generoso, hace todo lo posible para que los voluntarios se sientan a voluntad. Pude aprender mucho sobre la fotografía nocturna y sobre los astros, que son temas que me encantan. Además, la conexión que tuvimos entre el equipo se ha convertido en amistades que llevo junto en mi corazón. Agradezco enormemente la oportunidad de vivir esta experiencia y le deseo lo mejor siempre a la familia Vênus la casa! 🙏💙✨

Foi minha 1ª experiência no worldpackers e foi uma ótima escolha para começar, San Pedro é turístico e acolhedor, e viver tudo como voluntária foi incrível. O clima atrapalhou e ficamos boa parte do período sem tours por causa das nuvens e chuva, mas tivemos boas trocas. As tarefas eram variadas: preparar o cooler, servir o coquetel, organizar e fazer as fotos. A casa do Manu é ótima e confortável, e a varanda é perfeita p café e brincar com a Mandala. A internet não estava boa, então vale verificar isso se vc trabalha remoto. Manu foi justo e flexível, uma experiência q me marcou muito!
