I spent a week helping sew shut a few hundred bags of soil that would be used to construct a retaining wall. The area is really beautiful and I enjoyed the peaceful mornings and evenings in my hammock listening to the bugs and birds and rain. From the listing I did think there would be different types of tasks where I might learn more, but I wasn't there long so I imagine a longer term volunteer might learn more. The kids are very sweet. Leandro was flexible about me coming a day late because I was sick & his cooking is great. The internet works well. The room could be a bit more comfortable.

This was a nice experience completely immerged in the jungle! I learned a lot about making your own soap and cosmetic products. It was nice to share the daily life (tasks, meals...) with the hosts! Thanks again for having me :)

Si quieres vivir una experiencia "en medio de la nada", rodeada de naturaleza, aprender como vivir con los recursos que nos ofrece la naturaleza, es el lugar. Por la temporada que tocó, el mayor trabajo consistió en quitar malas hiervas para cultivar y dejar espacio para que puedan crecer las buenas. También aprenderás sobre elaboración de jabones, ayudarás en el lavado de platos etc,y los recados que puedan surgir Por lo qué tú trabajo dependerá de las necesidades del momento, así que no dudes en preguntarles :ll Gracias a Leandro y su familia por haberme permitido vivir esta experiencia!

Qué gusto haber participado de un proyecto tan bonito y necesario como el proyeto. Desarrollé una variedad de tareas y aprendí un montón: a trabajar la tierra, a hacer jabones naturales, a preparar un dulce de papaya delicioso… Es un sitio muy especial. Vivir y trabajar en la naturaleza es desafiador pero siempre muy gratificante. Gracias por todo familia!
