The Experience

Nuestro bello Castillo ya esta construido, pero necesitamos terminar pequeños proyectos y detalles decorativos, seguro que enseñándote, tu podrás hacerlo, y si nos enseñas a nosotras, estaremos felices y agradecidos. Si tienes algunas habilidades como pintar, trabajar con madera, arreglo del jardín, sería lo ideal. Y si sabes de bicicletas todavía mejor, necesitamos reparaciones. Esperamos de ti cuidado y limpieza.

I had a really nice time at the lodge Arcadia, Natalia is a great host and she makes sure that you feel confortable in the castle. I learned a lot about constructions skills with local materials. I would recommend this experience !

Volunteering at the lodge was an overall great experience. We worked mainly on painting and gardening. We also learned about permaculture practices. Natalia is a great host, she always made sure we were happy. The work hours, meals and everything was as posted. On a personal level, I did not feel the most comfortable when the host made generalizing and stereotypical comments around Indigenous communities in Bolivia, since I truly believe it's harmful to put an entire community in one box. Despite this, I'd encourage anyone to volunteer at the lodge.

Natalia replied

Los comentarios, las historias, los cuentos donde uno se hace testigo o participa en conversación, forma un ambiente de comunicación y confianza. Si alguien no emitió su propia opinión o desacuerdo, no mostró sus argumentos o pensamientos, perdió el momento. Porque ni se recuerda de que se trata el tema. Parece a un chisme infantil recordar temas de historias y experiencias ajenas en lugar de contar como fue divertido ultimo día.
Y por ultimo. NO es no. Entender eso, salvaría muchas cosas.

My experience at the lodge was really good. Work consisted of painting, organizing and a lot of hours in the garden. The host fed us all meals and it was a cozy stay in a beautiful landscape. The only point of tension is the host is a bit controlling and everything that you do she should approve of, including access to the kitchen, laundry, etc.

Todos entienden que las casas particulares tienen dueños, y en ellas existen normas y reglas básicas de convivencia que deben respetarse. Estas normas no buscan incomodar a nadie, sino garantizar el orden, el respeto y una convivencia armoniosa entre todos. Para que alcance la comida, el agua, que funciona electricidad y Internet.
Controlar o no tener "Acceso a la cocina" les pasó en voluntariado en Paraguay. Aquí el acceso fue libre dándoles posibilidad para sus experimentos alimenticios.

Natalia fait tout pour que nous nous sentions bien au the lodge ! J'étais la seule volontaire donc j'ai pu faire des taches diverses. Nous avons beaucoup discuté, ce qui m'a permis d'améliorer considérablement mon espagnol !

C'était un chouette séjour chez Natalia qui a beaucoup prit soin de moi. J'étais la seule volontaire donc j'ai beaucoup travaillé sur les 5h par jour, en faisant différentes tâches. Le château est loin de Sucre mais a une vue imprenable sur la vallée. Si vous voulez déconnecter tout en apprenant de nouvelles choses c'est l'endroit parfait. J'ai pu beaucoup échanger avec Natalia et a la fois avoir mes moments, je recommande cet endroit !
