I had an amazing experience with the Center! the Center is a fun city full of people exploring spirituality and new-age healing. Volunteering with the Center is the best way to experience the Center. They have many group activities such as hikes, temescal and other ceremonies that you can chose to participate in. They have a house right by the river where you can connect with nature. Really an amazing group!

Amazing experience! the Center is a beautiful place and the volunteers here were so fun to spend time with. The river house is right by the ruins and has access to the river. The hosts were helpful and encouraged me to practice speaking in Spanish. I hope to come back one day!

I stayed for almost one month at the River's House in the Center, and it was amazing! The house is super comfy and clean, and the food is delicious (there's a fee contribution for breakfast and dinner, which is not much). We had the river and ruins just in front of the house, which made the experience even more special. My activities were mainly related to cleaning the house, preparing breakfast and dinner, and doing groceries sometimes. During my stay I met such a wonderful people and travelers from all over the world.

My experience in the Center was great, I met some amazing people there and the Community really felt like a big family. I'm very thankful I was able to spend 2 weeks there and also see some beautiful places in the Center. The only thing that could have been improved (in my opinion) is that the working time was a little unclear, so I felt a little restless from time to time. But besides that, I had an amazing experience:)

The Center is a beautiful place, near the river and near the Center. The accomodation is great and there is a lot of commun area to be comfy and connected with the people. However, it did not felt like a community for us. The work is unorganized and not well divided between the volunteers. You also have to pay 100$/week for the food (that we cook), which was not tell before and the ceremonies and activities all have a cost which for us was way more than we expected. As a guest, it is a beautiful place, but as a volunteer, the experience needs to be rethink.

The volunteering was good, the people who were volunteering with me were amazing and the place too. it's in the middle of the sacred valley with a beautiful view. however, i believe the volunteering needs a bit more organization about time and tasks, and some information is wrong here in the platform, for exemple, here in the platform says that there are 2 days off but in fact we only have 1 day and mine was the day i left. apart from that, the accommodation is nice, good bed. the food is great, it's the volunteers who do it but you have to pay weekly.

I made a really great community here and really enjoyed all the nature the Center had to offer. However I will say there were a lot of gringos here and not a lot of immersion into the local culture. Also unbelievably disorganized here. But I'm still very grateful for the time I spent in the Center

First of all : the Center is a really amazing Place. But in my experience like in almost all the communities I visited, there is often a lack of communication or misunderstanding… I really enjoyed my time in the Center, above all because there were so many amazing people around me and we had a good volunteer team. Also if you don't feel comfortable with ceremony's it's not the place to be. But I personally loved to experience to prepare ceremonies and be part of the celebration. The River House has a fantastic view and the nature is breathtaking.

My experience was mixed. The environment is beautiful, you have many amazing places to discover and ceremonies to attend to. The current mix of volunteers were amazing people who want to do an honest work.However, most of the time we didn't know what that work is. It kinda felt like: work on whatever you want, everything is optional. I was in the older house, and I struggled with cats trying to sleep in my bed. Sometimes electricity went out for hours. It was hard to reach the host. And there is extra fee (contribution)for the first 2 weeks which is not mentioned here, but discussed in private

The experience in general is mostly good, it's a beautiful place that is definitely worth going, but I feel like there are some points that could be improved regarding organization like when the activities and ceremonies are going to happen so you can plan ahead - they have a schedule but it keeps changing last minute Leo and his parents are really sweet and flexible, and the community is nice I feel that some things are more expensive than they should be, and I thought as a volunteer I could do more of the hikes, but they were more expensive than what I planned - they were stunning though
