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!

Essa experiência de voluntariado foi muito especial e cheia de aprendizados. Aprendi a cuidar de animais o eco lodge, como ovelhas e gansos, trabalhar com a horta, utilizar uma serra elétrica e até cortar uma árvore. Além dos conhecimentos práticos, a convivência com o anfitrião foi excelente. Ele é um verdadeiro professor nato, paciente, sempre disposto a ensinar, compartilhar histórias e conhecimentos. Foi uma experiência incrível, que me trouxe muito aprendizado e, principalmente, a amizade de uma pessoa muito boa.

Foi, sem dúvida, o nosso melhor voluntariado! Eu e meu noivo chegamos para ficar um mês e acabamos ficando 4 meses. Orígenes é um lugar que toca o coração: natureza intocada, lagos, animais encantadores e a linda vista do Cerro Piltriquitrón. E o Fran (anfitrião) tornou tudo ainda mais especial: um grande mestre, que ensina com paciência, compartilha histórias, mate, sabedoria e se tornou um grande amigo. Aprendemos com a horta, madeira, ovelhas, gansos e um projeto realmente ecológico. Saímos com o coração cheio de gratidão e ainda mais conectados com nós mesmos. Venha viver Orígenes!

La experiencia en Orígenes fue excelente y hermosa. Las horas de trabajo y las comidas siempre se respetaron, y Fran se ocupa de que no falte nada. Compartir tiempo con los animales hace que la experiencia sea aún más especial y ayuda a desconectarse de las preocupaciones del día a día. Fran sos un gran anfitrión: siempre atento, predispuesto y con muy buena energía ✨ Nos vamos muy agradecidos por todo lo vivido y aprendido, esperamos volver ❤️
