My experience was truly delightful. The serene surroundings of nature provided a much-needed escape, allowing me to reconnect with myself through yoga practice. Gustavo's assistance in curating activities added an extra layer of enjoyment to my stay. His honesty and willingness to help ensured that every moment was filled with authentic experiences. Overall, it was a wonderfully refreshing retreat

The reserve is an astonishing place. Full of greenery and located 5min away from Rio Chavon. The place feels like you are lost in the middle of nowhere and it was perfect to reflect on myself and read books. The work asked is super easy and vary from day to day. Sometimes at the beginning I wouldn't understand when I had time off but from the second week it was made clearer. I came here with no Spanish skills at all (which was a bit hard sometimes) and left with a super good base to make myself understood in any situation. I'm very grateful for this experience and for the chance to meet Aida!

I felt like a member of the family there. The place is amazing and the people who run it, have put love into it. They have artistic souls. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a peaceful environmental with nice decour. The tasks are quite simple. Maybe you can also try teach English to the local kids. It's not for people that want to go to the beach every day since then village is quite isolated. But there is a the reserve and you can do hikes.

Aida, Gustavo, muchas gracias por esta oportunidad. Es tan noble abrir las puertas de un hogar construido con tanta dedicación y ofrecer una desintoxicación del sistema al que muchos estamos acostumbrados. Como voluntaria, fue una gran e inolvidable experiencia, las tareas son sencillas pero artísticas, aprendí un poco de todo y lo guardaré siempre. No necesito mencionar que la arquitectura me dejó sin palabras. Increíble obra! Fue un placer ser voluntaria en la reserva y conocerlos a todos. Bendiciones siempre! 🇵🇪

La reserva es de los mejores lugares donde he estado. Las instalaciones son una preciosura y toman más valor cuando conocés la historia, el trabajo y los años de energía allí invertidos. Al estar en el medio de la naturaleza lográs esa desconexión del mundo actual para volver a lo más básico y necesario de nuestra existencia. Gus y Aida (los dueños) y Abelino y Rada (los trabajadores con los que compartí) fueron super amables y abiertos. Las tareas del voluntariado sencillas y variables. Lo recomiendo sobre todo para compartir con las personas detrás del proyecto. Volvería mil veces 💜
