Thank you Tomas for allowing us to be part of your project. We were definitely out of our comfort zone living there but it made us stronger and helped us to appreciate the little things of everyday life. Tomas is very hard working and never stops, always on the go. It was really great to experience life in the Delta....so peaceful.
We wish you… read more

Nous avons passé 5 jours aux cotés de Thomas afin de l'aider dans son projet. Le cadre est vraiment très agréable : au beau milieu de la nature, les cabanes en bois sont belles, de quoi déconnecter.
Le projet avance petit à petit, à ce stade il y a donc que très peu de confort : pas de toilettes, pas de salle de bain, pas de cuisine, pas d'eau… read more

Que experiência incrível! Desde o momento em que Tomás nos busco de lancha, nos levando pelos canais até a ilha, amanhecer em meio a paz da natureza, contemplar os entardeceres perto do Rio (e se estiver disposto recomendo um bom banho aí!!), até o momento de sair. A cabana de madeira é super aconchegante, e o que não falta é coisa para fazer.… read more

Estaba durante 20 días con Tomas en las cabañas. Esta experiencia fue una de las mejores de mi viaje. Aprender a trabajar la madera, hacer sangas, ordenar el campo, quemar los troncos o no sé .. tanto agradable que gratificante para todos. Especialmente para este lindo proyecto en este lindo lugar.
Seguro que fue un momento maravilloso a trabajar… read more

My week and half in Delta Tigre was amazing ! I already miss those guys and Bendi especially (the dog). Such a pleasure to be there at the beginning of an awesome project that is growing pretty quickly. The "madera" houses are beautiful and well built by Martin and Guido, which are passionate and professional carpenters in the Delta. Guillaume… read more

Arrivés au tout début du projet, nous avons pu assisté Guillaume et Tomas dans le défrichage du terrain et la réception du bois pour les cabanes. L'environnement : la vie sur une île, superbe dépaysement au rendez vous ( et tout proche en lancha de Tigré ou même Buenos Aires pour les jours off)!
Nous avons aimé partagé les conseils avisés sur… read more

Fue una linda experiencia, aprender como se hace una cabaña del zero y en un tiempo recorde, conocer el proyecto y hacer parte, mismo que por unos pocos dias. La localidad es muy hermosa, Tomas, Guillaume e los demas son unos genios. Gracias por todo.
