Great jungle and deep nature experience at the farm! The place is really cool, easy but with all you need. You can really experience community living spending time and cooking togheter with fellow travelers, great spots to hang out and hike, fireplace, pizza night and other many activities to enjoy. Thomas the owner is doing a great job with many projects and always caring about giving you a great experience. Fully recomended if you want to stay in contact with nature, doing outside works and meet other international travelers!

My experience at the farm was amazing!!! I met so many people and Thomas is a very cool and relaxed person. It was so much fun to work in the middle of the jungle. On our free days we did so many jungle tours to see waterfalls or to meet native communities! If you want a real jungle experience and enjoy meeting people, I can highly recommend the project at the farm!

My time here was incredible! The place is deep in the jungle, so lots of bugs and mud (when it rains), so much wildlife, so many beautiful trees. If you re expecting a fancy place, with no bugs or dirt around, this is not for you. Thomas is a really interesting person who loves to chat and play card games. He is very calm and fair and does everything he can to make your time there, as pleasant as possible. The work is varied and interesting, but can be a bit hard, if you don't want hard work, he'll probably find something else for you to do. I loved it, specially when we had a big group there!

I had the best experience here. I was lucky enough to meet friendly volunteers and had a great time. The card games with Thomas every night were really fun. There are also many things to do here if you want. There are waterfalls and rivers that are especially good for swimming. Also, the most delicious mangoes in the world are grown here. Come and spend time with nature here.

We had an amazing time at the hacienda and felt welcomed by Thomas and the people staying. The nature is amazing and the work and working hours are fair. The work is also quite diverse and often interesting .Thomas showed us many natural spots on the weekends, where you can spend the free time. The facilities are perfectly fine, considering that the hacienda is in the jungle. Overall, we would recommend the hacienda for anybody looking to contribute to a growing community and a jungle getaway.
