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.

Nice, rural place with beautiful nature. Thomas is a really nice host, and showed us everything, including card games and the waterfall:)

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

Had a really wonderful experience here. very friendly and supportive culture that Thomas has created. and i got along with him really well. is a vary good chance to truly experience the jungle life. there's a lot more work and organization that still can go into this whole experience to make it even better. but if you are interested in a more natural way of life for a while i would definitely recommend it.

I had a great time at the farm. Being in the jungle was an ajustement at first but Thomas definitely helped with my paranoia of all the critters with his chillness around them lol. I loved our area that quickly became our home and the little community that we built. Thomas was very realistic with the work and didn't ask any more of us than what was agreed upon. He was there if we needed anything and was always down for a *somewhat* friendly game of cards. 😜 And of course without forgetting Zeus and Cory 🐶 the sweetest pups that I miss so much already! Thank you so much Thomas!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the farm, I felt very welcomed by the group I volunteered with and learned a lot about the culture in Peru, construction and farming by Thomas. At first I was a bit surprised as it wasn't what I was expecting, there's a big element of independence with living and working, as contact with Thomas can vary seeing as he's a very busy man. But as long as you fulfil ur role in the team things will run smoothly. Everything is different and u have to adapt but once ur settled, you'll fall in love with place and be sad to go.

I bonded with the others volunteering there a ton because of the independent work structure the host set up at the farm. The host is a big believer in figuring things out, so he doesn't give much instruction and doesn't always supervise much. It was a way for me to get out of my comfort zone, and I don't feel like his expectations were too high that doing our best on our own produced work he was unsatisfied with. We had much more control over how we spent our weekends than I anticipated, and I liked having that leeway. The living quarters were as comfortable as you can get in the jungle.

We really enjoyed this experience! We were 16 volunteers and a small community was created that worked very well. The tasks were varied and we had the freedom to choose what we wanted to do (from construction, to planting and cloning trees, to cleaning and cooking). There was a lot of variety of food and in good quantities! In our free moments we could go to the river (5 minutes walk), take tours in the jungle, go to Huapo (local community) and much more...

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was warmly welcomed by Thomas (and Zeus 🐶) who I both got along with very well. During the time Thomas has spent in the jungle, he has constructed something pretty incredible; both the hostel & several other projects, but also the vibe which comes with staying at the farm. The contract is followed rigidly, and Thomas never expects anything more than you agreed on. We also usually went down to the river to cool off after a very warm day! 5 ⭐️ Thank you, Thomas 💪
