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.

Staying at the Hacienda Matteo was an amazing adventure. The tasks were very diverse and interesting and after work there's multiple things to do. The place is beautiful and wild, with rivers, waterfalls and mango trees all around. I would definitely like to come back one day.

I loved my time at the farm:) It's in the middle of the jungle, everyday you have lots of free time to do activities like going to the river, hikes, visiting villages or playing cards with other volunteers. The work is sometimes hard but also fun and you can definitely learn a bunch of new skills. Thomas also puts in a lot of effort to make it a special experience for everyone and organises things like Pizza Nights and night jungle tours! Just don't get bit by a bullet ant if you can!😂 But I definitely would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to to just be in nature :) Thanks!

My stay by Thomas at the Hacienda was gorgeous. Everything was kept simple, of course, but it's the perfect place to get a bit of a jungle feeling :)

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!
