While the butterfly sanctuary is beautiful and I appreciate their overall goals, there was a substantial lack of communication. While they mentioned we would stay off-site, they neglected to include the almost 3 hour commute per day to and from the sanctuary. Unfortunately, the 5-6 hour workday plus 3 hour commute was a deal breaker in the end.

My experience at Morpho as a second volunteering placement was very rewarding. The biologist Alejandra is very committed to the project and the safeguarding of the proyeto. I also learned from biologist Alonso, from whom I learned more about the proyeto thanks to his patience and dedication to the project; I also worked in the restaurant area, collaborating as a waitress and I was always kept busy, time goes by quickly. I am very grateful for the time I spent there; for personal reasons I had to withdraw earlier, however I am very grateful for the time I spent and what I learned. Thank you very much.

My stay in Morpho was completely wonderful; Ale and her family are great people, I grew very fond of them and learned even what I hadn't imagined. Ale, in addition to being a great person, is an excellent biologist completely focused on her project. During my stay, I shared with Alonso, a biologist who in addition to being very patient is an excellent mentor; now what I know about the project I also owe to him. I was in the butterfly area and it is extraordinary to share with the project so closely. I am leaving with a full heart and deeply grateful.

The volunteering experience was extremely enriching, providing learning, exchange of experiences and personal growth. The host fulfilled all agreements in a responsible and attentive manner, ensuring an organized, respectful and welcoming environment throughout the entire period.

They are not prepared to host volunteers; the lodging they provided was very far from the butterfly conservatory, and therefore I only stayed three days. I spent a lot of money. When I arrived there was no stove to cook with, I didn't have a water jug to drink from, the butterfly conservatory is beautiful but it takes too long to get there.

Hello dear! Our mistake was letting you in. You showed up uninsured, knowing that it is one of the most important requirements of our stay. However, we let you in. It seems a bit convenient for you to come and say this, when I called you one month before to remind you again of every detail: the house is one hour and twenty minutes from the butterfly house (which is also on this platform). I hope at least the information I gave you was useful. Regards

Volunteering is a very pleasant experience. I was in the restaurant area, where I could help with various activities; you stay busy.
I consider that one downside is the lodging's location, since it is on the far side of the place where the volunteering takes place. Getting there by truck is easy, but the transfer can be a little tedious. Apart from that, it's an excellent place.
I am very grateful to Alejandra for all the time I spent there. It is an excellent project and very environmentally friendly.

It was a great experience to be my first volunteering experience; I highly recommend it. You learn a lot about the project and it's very nice to be able to spend time with them. The only thing to improve would be the accommodation, since during our stay there was no shower and we had to bathe in a washbasin, which was quite uncomfortable. Apart from that, the experience was nice.

My stay at the proyeto was very enriching!! Its gaze makes you connect immediately with the care for butterflies, pollinators, and nature itself. The dedication of the team and the great commitment they bring to generate environmental awareness is evident. As for my volunteering, I was in customer service at the restaurant; I felt comfortable and learned a lot. During the weeks I spent there I had time to meet local people and their culture. I was also able to carry out activities offered by the proyeto that were greatly appreciated 😊 More than grateful to Ale and to the whole team!!✨️

My time at the project has been an incredible experience, I learned many things I hadn't imagined about butterflies, collecting eggs, feeding caterpillars, watching them grow and living with butterflies every day is a very lovely experience. During the volunteering I carried out tasks mostly in the garden, giving talks, cleaning the laboratory and taking photographs. The place is indeed the project, but there is also a restaurant and other activities; it's a tourist place, you stay busy and there is always something to do, but nothing too difficult.
