La reserva es el lugar ideal para realizar un voluntariado. Las tareas son sencillas y varían de acuerdo con la necesidad diaria. A veces preparar habitaciones, otros días realizar el desayuno y la cena para los huespedes, etc. El entorno es hermoso y los dueños muy amables y atentos a las necesidades de cada voluntario. En los días libres Gustavo nos llevó a conocer diferentes lugares de República Dominicana. Recomiendo 100% este lugar para quienes les guste estar en medio de la naturaleza.
