My stay was incredible, the island is beautiful, thank you very much Fabricio and Luiza for opening the doors of your home for me, I spent some incredible weeks where I met great people from all over the world, about the work i can say that at times it was done Heavy due to the sun and heat but apart from that that I think the campsite has changed a lot since the day we arrived with Alan and that makes me happy to have contributed to the improvement of the place, i recommend this experience I wish you the best and hope to see you again soon u are amazing people thanks for everything <3

Minha experiência como voluntário no camping na ilha da Madeira foi maravilhosa. Luisa e Fabricio, meus anfitriões, foram simpáticos e flexíveis com meus dias de folga. O ambiente natural com árvores imponentes e uma bela vista panorâmica foi encantador. Conheci outros voluntários e turistas, o que tornou a experiência ainda mais especial. Recomendo essa experiência para aqueles que buscam conexão com a natureza e aventura.
