I had a wonderful time at Orígenes! The farm and surrounding area is beautiful— it's perfect if you're looking for a peaceful and rural place to disconnect. The work and tasks vary which keeps it interesting, and even when it's a bit difficult you have several hours during the day to rest. Fran and his family are very welcoming, as are the other volunteers! You're close to El Bolsón, many hikes, lakes and other destinations if you want to go out and explore more. Fran gives you Saturdays and Sundays off so there's plenty of opportunity. Three weeks was the perfect amount of time.

We had a very positive experience volunteering at the lodge! For the first few days, we helped out at the eco-lodge, cooking, cleaning, and making the guest feel welcome and comfortable. After this, we helped with diverse tasks including working in the organic farm/greenhouse, helping to shear the sheep, paint part of the lodge, and take care of the animals. We loved learning all that Francisco had to teach about sustainability and ecologically responsible living, and both the volunteer work and our free time was on incredibly beautiful property - and amazing experience all around!

I learned to take care of animals at the Eco Lodge, such as sheep and geese, to work in the garden, to use an electric saw, and even to cut down a tree. In addition to practical knowledge, the interaction with the host was excellent. He is a true natural-born teacher, patient, always willing to teach, to share stories and knowledge. It was an incredible experience that gave me a lot of learning and, above all, the friendship of a very good person.

It was, without a doubt, our best volunteering! My fiancé and I arrived to stay for a month and ended up staying 4 months. Orígenes is a place that touches the heart: pristine nature, lakes, charming animals and the beautiful view of Cerro Piltriquitrón. And Fran (the host) made everything even more special: a great mentor, who teaches with patience, shares stories, mate, wisdom and has become a great friend. We learned from the garden, wood, sheep, and a truly ecological project. We left with hearts full of gratitude and even more connected with ourselves. Come live Orígenes!

The experience at Orígenes was excellent and beautiful. The working hours and meals were always respected, and Fran makes sure that nothing is missing. Spending time with the animals makes the experience even more special and helps you disconnect from day to day worries. Fran is a great host: always attentive, proactive, and with very good energy ✨ We leave very grateful for everything we have lived and learned, we hope to return ❤️
