Fue una experiencia muy familiar compartir tiempo y actividades con Nao, Vero, Lucho y la comunidad. Aunque yo apliqué para aprender a cocinar y no haya aprendido mucho pues la posición no estab actualizada, me quedé por el ambiente y el deliciosísimo sazón la comunidad. Gracias porque aún así aprendí cosas sobre cómo funciona una cocina a gran escala , me divertí, conocí cascadas, aprendí a pescar, reí mucho, aprendí a rallar coco... En fin. Mis mejores deseos siempre para la comunidad 💖💖

Si buscas una experiencia auténtica en el Pacífico colombiano, este voluntariado es una excelente elección. la comunidad y su familia te reciben con una hospitalidad increíble y hacen que, desde el primer día, te sientas parte de su hogar. Es una experiencia ideal para quienes disfrutan el trabajo en equipo, tienen disposición para aprender y quieren conocer de cerca la cultura, las tradiciones y el ritmo de vida del Pacífico. Aquí el intercambio es genuino: colaboras con la familia mientras compartes conversaciones, aprendizajes y momentos que difícilmente olvidarás.

La comunidad más que un lugar es como un hogar, te reciben con los brazos abiertos y la comida es deliciosa, pude desconectarme del ruido la comunidad ciudad y conocer personas maravillosas Las tareas son sencillas y se respetan siempre los horarios, también nos dan descuentos en los tours para ver ballenas y otras actividades Les recomiendo mucho llevar mucho repelente, mecato, dulces y un buen libro Si ustedes lo que buscan es un lugar tranquilo, familiar y con comida rica este es tu lugar Por último agradezco a la comunidad con su amabilidad, a toda la familia y a los voluntarios ❤️

Un voluntariado lleno de experiencias hermosas, comida deliciosa, una cultura increíble, unas personas amables, entusiastas, bonitas. El lugar acogedor, cada día fue una experiencia inolvidable, las playas, los paisajes. Este lugar es mágico y la señora Yane la mejor anfitriona, los animalitos del lugar Cody, Tony, los gatitos, los sentí parte the community familia. Siempre llevaré en mi corazón este lugar, me brindo más que solo un voluntariado, me llevo mucho amor y una energía hermosa❤️❤️❤️❤️

La experiencia en the community fue algo que quedará en mi corazón siempre. Al ser mi primer voluntariado llegué un poco nerviosa, pero desde el primer momento todas las personas me recibieron con mucha buena energía y calidez. Te acogen como uno más de ellos y aprendes todo de su cultura. Solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento por la deliciosa comida, por esos paisajes que me enamoraron aún más del pacífico y para el hermoso Kody, por su lealtad.🐶 Me voy con recuerdos inolvidables, aprendizajes valiosos y el deseo de algún día volver.
