Volunteering here has been such an amazing experience! It not only gave me the chance to give back, but also to meet so many new people and build meaningful connections. I learned a lot, gained new skills, and felt truly welcomed as part of the team. The environment was positive and supportive, which made every moment enjoyable. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to grow personally while contributing to something that really makes a difference.

The days I spent on Thursday were incredible. Michell is a great teacher—one of the best there is. He shared valuable lessons about life and also gave me technical knowledge of mechanics. He has a youthful spirit; the barbecues he organized were a lot of fun. I had several adventures in nature, such as paddling down the river to the beach with stand-up paddleboarding and also riding electric mountain bikes along the surrounding trails. This mix of sport, care for animals, and being with campers from all over made the days even more unforgettable. I hope to return very soon!

My experience was very beautiful :)
Michelle is a person who is more than good! Always very attentive, communicative, and funny.
The work is simple and the volunteers' house is more than comfortable. Everything is very clean and organized; it was one of the prettiest and most comfortable volunteer experiences I had.
If you like nature, the sea is near, the rivers just a few meters away, and you are surrounded by greenery constantly 🌳🌲🌱
(Besides many ducklings, chickens, turkeys and my four-legged little friends 🐾 The dark-haired one, Kiki and my crybaby Lana 🥰♥️)

That was my first experience on WP, and to be honest, it couldn’t have been better. Michelle, our host, was super kind, respectful, always willing to teach, clear up doubts and communicative.
Regarding the tasks, the main ones were taking care of her animals and being attentive to the campers (when there are any). They also set some gardening tasks for us to do during the week, but they let you organize yourself and manage time at your leisure, only asking that the tasks be completed.
The place was very quiet and with plenty of nature to enjoy 😁

It was an intense experience full of learnings. The estate is located in a beautiful place near the river, the sea, and nature, and the companionship with the animals made the days very special. I thank Michel for the opportunity, for the trust, and for the fair way you conduct volunteering, with respect for the work done and for the agreed days off. The animals were a constant companion, and I will cherish a special affection for the female dog Kiki, whose sensitivity deeply marked me. I depart with gratitude for all I learned during this period.

I didn't quite adapt to the flexibility and autonomy of this volunteering, but for those prepared for greater independence it is a great experience and the work is light, although it can be repetitive.
Very calm, excellent conditions and the host Michel is very honest, straightforward and helpful.

The best volunteering! The facilities are very good; we live in a small caravan but with all the comforts and warmth, because we spend most of the winter there. The kitchen and the bathroom are a few meters away and they are spacious with all the utensils for cooking. The work we had to do was animal care, whether chickens, ducks, Peru and pigs, feeding them and cleaning their housing. Other tasks we did were gardening in general because it has a large campground. The host, Michel, is a great person with a lot of culture and knowledge, funny, generous and attentive.

My experience at the house was very beautiful! We went with my husband and stayed there for five weeks! Michel was of great help to us, even in personal matters. I loved being in contact with the animals and enjoying the peace and nature that that place has! I learned gardening and many other things! I would recommend it 100% 😄🤗

Fue nuestra segunda experiencia en voluntariados y si o si la recomendaría. El lugar es hermoso, estás al lado del río y a 1k de la playa. Michel es demasiado preocupado por las necesidades de los voluntarios, se puede conversar de todos. El trabajo es muy relajado hay tareas fijas de todos los días y otras que van variando pero no te preocupes respeta las horas establecidas lo que te permite realizar otras actividades, nosotras por ejemplo íbamos al gym o al río a la playa. Tuvimos la oportunidad de compartir con los amigos de Michel y la verdad todos muy amables. Me voy muy agradecida.
