Fincaixobel is a great place to connect to the nature surrounding you, the place they created here is really peaceful :) The cave tour we could join was very fun so definitely recommend! You should definitely bring good shoes with you, if you wanna do hikes and work with the horses cause there are ticks. The food you can prepare in the kitchen is really nice, they also have a bakery where they bake really nice banana bread and cinnamon rolls. Thanks to Maria for creating that place !

This place was such a lovely experience. I will say i was a little skeptical in the beginning because i am not a bug girly and there is a lot of mosquitoes and spiders ( so definitely bring long pants and bug spray) but with time i really got to enjoy the tranquility of things here. there's so much nature and even with working with the horses you get to see lots of beautiful sights. the food was fresh and the people were so sweet and kind i really got to know some of the cooks. sadly i wasn't here to meet maría but i heard such good things about her and her staff really made me feel at home.

My experience with the finca was really nice. You get to ride the horses alot and the other tasks are mostly fun and easy to do. I couldn't speak one word of spanish, so in the beginning it was really hard for me to communicate but luckly the other volunteers helped me out with that alot. If you're looking for a place to connect with nature and love being around horses and don't mind mosquito bites and ticks then it is definitely the place for you:)

This was my first experience as a volunteer and it couldn't have been better! All the hotel staff are super kind and friendly, they really care about us, besides the finca is very beautiful and has many different places to explore. I would definitely recommend the place to other travelers!! :)

I had a great time at the guest house. The hotel is a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy nature. I really enjoyed looking after the horses there. Maria and the team were very welcoming.

I had I good time at the finca. Maria was always around and you can talk to her anytime. All the other stuff have an open ear all the time and can speak with everybody. All are really friendly. The accommodation was really nice. There is a big space just for the volunteers. The work was easy and I got good instruction! The area is beautiful and you can go for hikes and go with the horses and explore the whole place. Don't be afraid of any animals; and you will need a lot of mosquito spray!! But I can totally recommend this project!

Volunteering at the guest house was my fist Worldpackers experience and it couldn't have been better! I had a truly amazing time the three weeks I spend at the Finca. I loved the staff, the horses and the animals on the site. The staff became my friends and my second family, I will truly miss them. It was also the perfect place for me to practice my Spanish and to connect with nature the time I spent there. I truly recommend the Finca for those who don't mind mosquitoes, insects and heat;). The working hours are fair and there is a lot of free time. It's an opportunity not to miss!

I had an amazing time in Poptún. The hours and work were as agreed. I had my own space in a private room which was fitted with a washroom and a hammock. For food I had full access to the kitchen where I would work around the restaurant staff to cook my own meals and the ingredients were fresh, delicious and plentyful. They even had their own bakery with some amazing bread. My Spanish was very limited but the staff were helpful in breaking down language barriers. This was a great opportunity to reconnect with nature in a beautiful peaceful place.

I had an amazing time at the guest house! It was a lot of fun working with the horses - and it was really chill. The people are really nice and flexible. They don't really speak english tho so it is a great opportunity to learn or improve your spanish! There were not a lot of volunteers, bit you hat a lot of time for yourself, could explore the surrounding, go horse riding and take part in all the tours. There is also a beautiful natural spring on the property. Muy tranquil.

The people were kind, but never met the host. coming with minimal Spanish made the experience very hard to coordinate. They spoke little English making tasks and asking for help very difficult, when I struggled it felt very hard. The living conditions were good but gave full access to nature coming in, I hand an ants nest come down my net on my first night. No real escape from nature. The horses were covered in ticks and first task was to remove them with my hands. I later had 3 on my body from which there was no cleanliness or real support on removing them. The experience is pretty isolating
