The place is beautiful, the rivers and waterfalls around are amazing, the working hours are respected and Thomas is such a nice person who likes a nice chatting, playing games, teaching and showing us around. I appreciate ❤️ Negative thing: Food policy. That's ok we have limited variety of food, we can be creative, but, when we asked for bread and tomato sauce, he said we should make our own. Not fair since we are paying for food. Sometimes after work we want to eat easy, not baking or making sauce that takes time. The quality of coffee and rice provided where bad. We bought it separately.

I try to explain to everyone in detail that we are deep in the jungle and we always try to chose natural and local food sources for health, sustainability and at times a lack of availability. For many of our volunteers cooking together to make creative meals is one of their favorite experiences while here. We buy our coffee and rice from local producers right here in the jungle. Allan was unique in some of his preferences and demands while here.

My time at the farm was incredible, I really enjoyed my time there as I got to be surrounded by amazing travelers and friends who became a family to me!! Thomas is such an amazing guy and very chill, the work varies from day to day and the whole time he tried to give us a lot of useful techniques for better work! The place is wonderful & is amazing to be in the jungle. Huapo is such a beautiful place and I really really recommend coming here if you feel the call. Thank you again for everything, I take beautiful memories from my time there and such amazing souls I met along the way!

I had a fantastic time at the farm. It is located in true rural Peru and offers a glimpse into the local way of life. Thomas was a great host that encouraged teamwork amongst the volunteers and made sure everyone was settling into the project. There's a great balance between work and play at the project and I was sad to leave.

I felt that the volunteering at hacienda Matteo was a great escape to nature! There was lots to do and the work was not too difficult but the downtime was great. A family atmosphere was created with communal meals and group outings!

Amazing experience! The work instructions were always clear, I never had to do anything beyond my abilites. The work is very diverse, there is a lot to do. I participated in many projects like; eco construction, planting, making pottery or making artesanal crafts. You can often choose what do you want to do from the daily tasks. During our free times, we usually had a dip in the river, did some exercises,went to waterfalls,to the nearby community, on a jungle tour,on a coffee farm tour, or to festival at the village close by. I also had the chance to teach english at the community nearby.

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm. It is a unique experience to live in the jungle for a few weeks. Thomas knows a lot of things about nature and he really likes to share it with the volunteers. He also knows the good spots around the farm and gives good advice !

I lived incredible days in the farm where I could develop my environmental awareness, and I will surely apply them into my daily life from now on. Thomas is surely a really nice host, he does whatever is necessary to make people comfortable and help them to have the best experience as possible in the farm. He is always kind and supportive, he has great social skills then it's really nice to talk to him, he is very smart so you can learn a lot from him. During my staying I had the opportunity to meet his brother and his dog Zoos, both are so kind.
