I would recommend this experience with the right expectations. There are very few food options, so you need to get creative. The farm is very remote, so there isn't much to do without walking a long way or paying for a ride. But it was nice to rest and be immersed in nature. The work was hard, but it was cool to learn new skills and sustain building/production! However, I did feel like instructions were often not clear (regarding work or other expectations). It also felt like Thomas didn't appreciate any of our work. Overall the experience was an adjustment but rewarding and fun!

It's unfortunate that Madeleine and her friend Grace did not have as great a time as everyone else.
We love our Worldpackers, as reviews show.
We have a Sushi night, pizza night etc, once every week.
We have had past volunteers walk the 25 minutes to either of our 2 nearby native towns everyday, to play games etc.
Madeleine seemed to really struggle to keep up with a very calm hike. We offer so many tasks and types of experiences that most love and fondly tolerate slight hiccups.

The volunteer experience was wonderful. I made new friends and stayed in a place surrounded by nature, with rivers and waterfalls—we went hiking whenever we could. It took us about half an hour to get to the nearest town. If you're creative, the food can be delicious; but if you don't know how to cook, it can be a bit challenging. The accommodations are comfortable, unless you're not a fan of roosters crowing all night. But overall, it was a truly beautiful experience.

My experience at the farm flew by! During the week, we worked on a variety of projects including landscape work, making coconut oil, general community cleaning, planting coconut/pineapple trees, and harvesting. On the weekends/afternoons, many of the volunteers would explore nearby communities, hike to waterfalls, play fútbol, take a mototaxi to Lamas, and swim in the river. I spent a big chunk of my time cooking- the volunteers cooked all meals together so it took a bit longer to prepare. I would recommend bringing lots of bug spray/long clothes because the insects were no joke!

Jungle experience✅. The area and the general vibe is great to be at. Thomas is great company and it truly felt like working with a friend group. You never surpass your hours and everyones energy levels are respected. The work is sometimes very heavy but very rewarding. Everything you need is available and we made some great meals with the few ingredients we had. Its amazing how thomas build this place in the middle of the jungle, you will see when you get there. If you're searching for a great experience and you don't need luxury, I recommend this place strongly!

Those two weeks were a super experience. The place is beautiful, there's a river near to bath and it's really quiet and chill. The tasks are nice, not too difficult. Thomas is really nice and is there to help if you need something. You're not too lost in the jungle but you still have the chance to connect with nature. ☀️

The work Thomas has done to build the farm is impressive. He is resourceful and seeing how he approaches different tasks was a great learning experience, especially given this was my first time doing hands-on work. Furthermore, the tasks I worked on were varied which kept things exciting. We had 15 people staying there at our peak. Although I wouldn't change my experience and enjoyed the company, that many people can be overwhelming. If you're looking for alone time, this might not be the place. Overall the experience was lovely and I'd recommend it to anyone with an open mind!

I spent 2 wonderful weeks at the hacienda, the place is very pleasant to live cut off from any big city. The work depended on the season and what there was to do on the campsite but it was all very pleasant.

I've had a beautiful time at the farm, you'll live a simple life surrounded by the wildlife of the Amazon rain forest. In the free time there are a lot of places to see, the neighbours are very kind and friendly. I definitely recommend this place to everyone who what to learn some new skills and chill in the nature :)

My experience at the farm was amazing, I had a great time with the other volunteers. There are a lot of things to do in your free time, and there is a river nearby. The tasks can be tedious sometimes, but doing them in the jungle is worth it
