I had an amazing time here! Both Paula and Uriel were amazing hosts, and I couldn't have asked for anything better! The mountains and waterfalls are stunning (pictures don't do justice), and the 3 dogs here feel like your family. The work is easy and there's some veggies and herbs in the garden you can use. Also make sure to bring a jacket and any other special items you need, as it's located far from town. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity and I hope to come back :))

Tive a oportunidade incrível de Conhecer a Paula, anfitriã excepcional. O Lugar é de beleza incrível, com um rio de tirar o fôlego e montanhas belíssima. Trabalhamos juntos na horta e junto com outros voluntários, tivemos muito reflexão diante da fogueira. Muita história não faltou com Uriel, outro excelente anfitrião que me ensinou sobre o cuidado da terra e plantações. Recomendaria essa experiência para quem quer um contato profundo com a natureza. Gratidão por tudo 🙏🌞

Minha experiência no hostel foi incrível, estar nas montanhas, imerso na natureza e poder desfrutar de paisagens e cachoeiras deslumbrantes foi revigorante. A alimentação com produtos frescos da horta acrescentou um toque especial à minha estadia. É importante trazer nossa própria comida, já que não há supermercado próximo, mas isso apenas contribuiu com a autenticidade da experiência. As tarefas eram simples e consistiam basicamente em limpeza e organização do hostel. Espero poder voltar em breve!

Agradeço muito a Paula, pelas conversas, risadas, culinária, ela é uma pessoa incrível que exala boas energias e propocionou bons momentos juntos, é uma amizade para vida.As três cachorrinhas são as melhores guias de trilhas.Foi uma experiencia marcante e levo boas memórias e saudades de todos que cruzaram meu caminho nessas semanas.
