Ana is a deeply inspiring woman. This was a top volunteering experience thanks to her warmth and peace. She attracts beautiful souls; the house is always full of wonderful people sharing time and stories. During my stay, I had to deal with stressful matters from back home, and Ana was so understanding and supportive until things were resolved. I felt truly at home, with space for meditation, trying biodanza and tambourines. Ana is incredibly flexible, matching tasks to your energy and skills. the camping is a haven for those seeking spiritual growth and a real connection with locals and nature.

My first volunteering experience at the camping was truly enriching and went far beyond my expectations. From the very beginning, I felt genuine cultural immersion inti the warmth of Uruguay life, enjoying meaningful activities while sharing unforgettable moments with wonderful people. What touched me most was realizing how much can be archived when things are done with love and dedication. Ana is an extraordinary host who not only opens the doors of the camping but also her heart, creating a welcoming and inspiring environment. I enjoyed it immensely and left only wishing I could have stayed longer.

Having you, Camilo, has been a gift from the very first moment, with your warm smile, good humor, and readiness to collaborate and work as a team. The times we've shared with you have been a delight. I hope your journey continues to be beautiful and keeps expanding your being. We look forward to seeing you return to this little corner of Punta Negra. Blessings, dear friend. Thank you!

The hostel is very beautiful, and the surroundings, the energy and the community that inhabits the hostel make it truly feel like a home.
Ana is the heart of all this. Loving, honest, empathetic, very human and always willing to accompany and help 🙏🏼
She has that sensitivity of someone who also walks and travels... and knows how to welcome people from a real place. She also opened doors for me professionally, trusting and accompanying me in a way that I value and am deeply grateful for.
Coming here was also meeting a tribe of beautiful women, holding spaces for gathering, respect, love and connection.

It was a beautiful experience, it was a very lovely and comfortable place, the hostel and the camping have a special energy, because the people there are that way, both the guests, as well as the host, neighbors, and in this case I was paired as a volunteer with Iara who made the experience even better. Thank you Ana for who you are and for also being the means and the channel to reach so many lovely people with good hearts.
