Volunteering at the lodge was everything it promised to be and more. I wanted a time-out from my longterm travel and I found a peaceful, beautiful place to calm down and recharge. Working and being with the animals was absolutly wonderful and helped me a lot. We went horseback riding a lot and learned about how to train and care for the animals. Working in the garden tought me a lot about organic farming and no-waste-policy. Even tough I searched for relaxation, it was so nice to gather around, eat, drink and sing/play together with guests and workers. I really loved it there, thank you!

A creative place, made unique by the warmth and helpfulness of the people there. Taking care of dogs, chickens and the horses were at the forefront of my activities. Our host explained a lot about the natural processes on site, the non-violent, patient handling of the animals, the water supply, composting and much more. Questions were gladly answered at any time by the lovely team. I also found the cooperation with the other volunteers very enriching. I was also patiently supported in my efforts to improve my Spanish. The incredible starry sky rewarded us for our work every evening. Gracias!

The trip to the farm was a beautiful experience !!!! I feel very grateful for having had the opportunity to experience it. The farm is very beautiful, I really liked working on the farm with the animals and the people were very nice and friendly. I also learned a little about organic production and the taming of horses (calm and without violence).

Mi experiencia en Eco Malargüe fue muy buena. Fue mi primer voluntariado y la pasé muy bien, al principio parece que no hay mucho por hacer pero siempre hay algún lugar por visitar. La gente es amable y es un lugar muy tranquilo, un lugar perfecto para desconectar de la ciudad. Conocí personas hermosas, hice amigos y aprendí demasiado sobre el lugar, los animales y cuidado de una finca. Vane, vero y Edgar hicieron que mi estadía fuera más amena y divertida. Gaby es un amor y jhonny es muy buena persona, recomiendo este lugar para voluntariar.
