Being at the reserve was an incredible experience. Its forest is beautiful and the wildlife that inhabits it is spectacular; I was lucky to see many pudús. The housekeeping, reception, and keeping the boiler's fire lit were simple. But the most special thing was its people: thanks to David, Thomka, Pancho, Laura, Coni, Gloria, Isabel, Cami, and everyone I met. They always made me feel at home. I carry the park and its team in my heart, along with memories that I will never forget. I will never get over the reserve and I hope to return someday. ❤️🌿

It was an incredible experience! The park project is very powerful; it's a beautiful place. The volunteering was a great experience; the tasks vary depending on what is needed but mainly they need help with housekeeping, reception, and in the restaurant's dining room. Everyone was very kind and open; they helped me learn and have a very pleasant atmosphere. The shifts were 6 hours a day, I rotated between AM and PM; in my spare time I took the opportunity to get to know the park and enjoy the facilities. I highly recommend it if you like nature and want to disconnect.

It's an amazing place, located in a national park in southern Chile, surrounded by native flora and fauna, it's priceless! The tasks are easy, David the host is very open to proposals, flexible with the schedule, and very caring. 100% recommended!

An absolutely wonderful and enriching experience. I spent three weeks in the reserve in the heart of nature, I learned a lot about the biodiversity of the place, and I walked along gorgeous trails in the park. I am grateful for all the learning and the hospitality of the Agus. They gave me a lot of confidence from the beginning and they cared a lot about my well-being and comfort during these days. Much of this good experience is thanks to them. I’m taking away some lovely friends from this island full of energy, very special. I hope to meet again along the road. 100% recommendable! 🥰🥰

Definitely the park is amazing if you're interested in being immersed in nature. The team is very friendly and they care a lot about you. I think it's important to consider that the experience in the lodge and at the gatehouse are very different; make sure to ask when you apply. Housing conditions can vary a lot, so ask what they can offer you at that moment. Additionally, it's important to check if there is housing available for the days off, they are constantly making changes and it's important that you ensure that you will have everything they 'offer'.
