Estoy muy agradecida por la oportunidad. Es un lugar mágico, en una zona muy virgen del Pacífico, perfecto para desconectarse, conectar con la naturaleza y conocer otra cultura. La comida es deliciosa y las actividades increíbles: kayak, paddle, snorkeling, avistamiento de ballenas, liberación de tortugas y la cascada de Nabugá. Ver y escuchar ballenas desde el hotel fue muy especial. 🐋 El voluntariado podría estar mejor organizado y, al estar en la selva, hay que estar abierto a sus condiciones y a dinámicas culturales que pueden ser fuertes, especialmente para las mujeres.

La experiencia es increíble por el lugar. Despertarse en frente del océano, ver ballenas casi todos los días, vivir al ritmo del sol, disfrutar de la naturaleza en cada instante... Es un paraíso dónde el voluntario tiene que encontrar su sitio y, no es fácil. No somos trabajadores ni formamos parte del equipo directivo, lo que supone estar en un limbo a veces complicado de gestionar, por falta de consideración y de comunicación. El hecho de ser mujer puede además complejizar situaciones. Las tareas están bien pero falta organizar un poco mejor el voluntariado que tiene muchísimo potencial.

Las instalaciones son increíbles y la ubicación, lejos de Mutis, hace que sea un lugar paradisíaco. Despertarse y disfrutar de tanta naturaleza es una experiencia única. Sin embargo, la experiencia como voluntario tiene dificultades: percibí una gerencia poco amable y receptiva a las críticas, tensiones con algunos locales (afros), hiperesponsabilidades (como cuidar el hotel). También vivimos situaciones con la comida tensas y las posibles “situaciones” de “machismo” hacia las mujeres. Un lugar hermoso, pero con mucho aspecto de mejora. Si deseas saber mas, escríbeme para contarte.

Estimado Nelson, gracias por compartir tu experiencia y observaciones. Lamento que algunos aspectos no hayan cumplido tus expectativas. El Chocó tiene dinámicas culturales y formas de convivencia distintas, que representan aprendizajes y desafíos para todos. Agradecemos tus comentarios sobre comunicación, gestión, convivencia y alimentación, y los revisaremos. Creemos en el diálogo respetuoso y la mejora continua para enriquecer la experiencia de voluntarios. Te deseamos lo mejor.

Un lugar increíble, justo en medio de la selva y frente al mar, tiene una energía única que te acompaña todos los días🌊💚 Desde mi punto de vista hay ciertas cosas que podrían mejorar para que los próximos voluntarios tengan una experiencia más agradable pero no es algo que no se pueda resolver. Durante mi tiempo aquí aprendí muchísimo, vi las ballenas casi todos los días, conecté con diferentes personas y viví momentos maravillosos. Me voy con lindos recuerdos y muy agradecida por la oportunidad de vivir algo así 🩵 si alguien quiere saber más sobre mi experiencia me puede escribir :)
