I had a lovely stay at Haciendo the farm, even though my plan was to stay for 2 weeks I had to leave 1 week before because of changed plans which was sad because I was really looking forward the whole stay in this beautiful environment! Would love to come back when I get the chance ☺️

We had a really great experience at the farm! The place is amazing, you can truly feel that you are in the middle of the jungle. It's located right next to a river where you can swim every day and there is also a Waterfall and an indigenous community nearby, that we visited often. I can highly recommend this volunteering experience, if you want to be surrounded by nature and cool people!

This place really immersed me into the Peru jungle life. It was a good place to meet friends and the work was very hands on and involved things like collecting tree saplings, planting them, weeding with machetes, and keeping the living quarters clean. Overall it was a nice place to meet friends and travel to the near by towns for fun experiences.
