Someway, somehow, I found a family here. speaking very little spanish, I still felt at home :) every single person working at the reserve has a special place in my heart. It was my first world packers experience where I felt genuinely connected to my body, my rest, the nature/world around me. It was exactly what I needed to find routine and peace. The day-to-day work feels like a dream. Edgar is an exceptional host with a huge heart for what he does. He cares deeply and it is easily felt. We exchanged spanish/English lessons and many laughs.. I was sad to leave this special place. <3

This was without doubt, the best Worldpackers experience I've had until now. If I could I would give it 10 stars. Don Edgar was incredible attentive and genuinely cared about the well-being of each volunteer. From day one I felt completely at home. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the waterfalls are absolutely stunning, and the whole team was friendly and easy to be around. An unforgettable experience, I can't wait to go back!!!

I had a really nice experience at la the reserve. The staff there were lovely and taught me about caring for plants, water management and agriculture processes. I came to learn more about how to set up ecological reserves and Don Edgar was very generous with his time and information about his process in setting up the reserve. At the time the road to the reserve was damaged, so we had to take a motorbike when I arrived, which I wasn't expecting. But once I arrived I had a really nice time chatting with everyone and got involved with the finca. The food was great! Very authentic!

¡La mejor primera experiencia como voluntaria! Gracias a don Edgar, doña Ana Luisa, don John, don Odair, doña Alba, Valentina y a todos quienes hicieron posible estos 15 días inolvidables. Aprendí sobre conservación ambiental, conocí lugares de Santander. la la reserva es un espacio de introspección, con paisajes hermosos y cascadas hipnotizantes. Las tareas y los tiempos se respetan, y el trato del personal es espectacular. Recomiendo esta experiencia a quienes buscan desconectarse de la ciudad. ¡Gracias por tanto! Espero volver pronto. Los atesoraré por siempre

Mi segunda vez en este lugar, esta vez la que realizó la experiencia fue mi pareja y al igual que me sentí la primera vez, es un excelente lugar para hacer voluntariado. Todo el personal iniciando por don Edgar, la señora Isidora, los dos señores a cargo de los arreglos locativos & hasta Ringo (el perro) lo van a hacer sentir a uno como en casa. the reserve es un lugar ideal para visitar, disfrutar y también respetar, ya que es un lugar rodeado de naturaleza, paz & un ambiente tranquilo.
