I loved my stay here! Thank you for making my “Hay Day” dream come true. The place is absolutely beautiful, and Franco welcomed me so nicely. Alex, the owner, is such a cool guy and always made sure I felt comfortable and had everything I needed. I helped with some easy gardening at first and mainly cooked lunch and dinner for the constructors while the place is under construction. I also loved speaking Spanish every day, which made the experience even more special. With lots of freedom and a really peaceful atmosphere, perfect for connecting with nature and rural life. Hasta luego!

Thank you, Anna! !

Thank you, Sophia! It was truly a pleasure having you with us at Patagonia Lodge and Retreat. The entire team appreciated your positive attitude, dedication, and the care you brought into your work each day. You quickly became a valued part of our daily rhythm, and your presence in the cabin made a meaningful difference.
Your willingness to help wherever needed, along with your strong work ethic, did not go unnoticed. We would love to have you back.

Tuve una primera experiencia como voluntariado increible! cumplio todas mis expectativas y mas Comenzando con el lugar que es precioso, una verdadera conexion con la naturaleza y los animales de granja y gatitos tambien Alex y franco son unos anfitriones increíbles y se pasa muy bien con ellos Esta lleno de cosas para hacer y lugares para ver El trabajo es de lo mas llevadero si les gusta cocinar y limpiar o ordenar Si bien para llegar puede ser un poco complicado vale totalmente la pena Les recomendaria totalmente postular a este voluntariado, no se van a arrepentir Espero volver pronto

Las dos semanas que estuve con Alex y Franco fueron excelentes. Alex es un tipazo; al principio da la impresión de ser serio y rudo, y lo es, pero además es muy buena onda e interesante. Franco es una buenísima persona, con lindas ambiciones y buenos temas de conversación. Un tipo muy buena onda también. Siempre estuvieron atentos a cualquier cosa que necesitara. El lugar es precioso y ofrece muchas posibilidades para conocer los alrededores, ya sea en lancha, bicicleta a pie. Tiene muchos spots muy interesantes donde se aprecia la naturaleza en su máxima expresión :) Ya lo extraño.

Beyond your work, we also appreciated the kindness and respect you showed to the team. It’s always special to host volunteers who not only fulfill their responsibilities but also connect with the people and the place in a genuine way—and you did exactly that.
We’re very greatful.

Franco es una persona muy alegre, preocupado siempre por qué no te falte nada, hace que no se haga difícil estar tan aislado. Alex es buen anfitrión aún que no pude compartír tanto con el. Las tareas son muy llevaderas y variadas, con la huerta, los animales y haciéndo mantenimiento. Espero volver
