I loved staying at the project. Carlos is so welcoming and eager to share his project with others. The views are incredible and this place is incredible to relax and get away from the stress of cities for a little bit. The animals are so cute! The work is very fair and the food and drinks Carlos gives you are amazing! If you want to engage with locals, would definitely recommend :)

I had a really great time at the project. Carlos is super nice and was so patient with communicating with me (my Spanish is really bad). The tasks I had to do were really doable. We also always had a break with food and drinks and after work you have plenty of time to relax. The food you get for breakfast and lunch is always made fresh, healthy and delicious (and the portions are biiiig). My highlight were the two dogs which I already miss!

I had an amazing time at the project! Carlos and his parents are really lovely people. They made me feel very welcome and were so patient with explaining things and words I didn't know in Spanish. The work was physical but super doable and it was fun to see the progress we made. I would highly recommend this project to everyone!

Where to start… Carlos and his family are some of the most considerate and beautiful people that I've ever had the fortune to meet. It was truly a privilege to be involved in helping them in their wonderful project. The farm is nestled amongst some beautiful nature and the views never failed to inspire me every day. The food (vegetarian for me) was always plentiful and delicious. The family were always looking to interact, play games, exchange stories/knowledge. The work was physical but more than reasonable for what you receive in return. Truly one of the best experiences of my life!!
