Okay, this is my best World Packer experience so far. Miahuatlán is a small and safe little town that doesn't have much to do, but Jorge arranges a lot of activities to do after work, I love the language exchange Wo do every Wednesday you can talk to the locals and they are all so patient toward my broken Spanish. Jorge always tried his best to let the volunteers immerse themselves in the local community and introduce us to different people. Work is tough and hard not for everyone, this is real farm work not just the same places for people to take some pictures and go.

I really enjoyed my 3 weeks at the organization! This is a great project for anyone who want to learn more about the local life in Mexico and of course about the organization. The farm days are hard, but you will feel satisfied when the day is finished, it's so rewarding. Jorge, the host, is amazing and he really puts in effort for us volunteers to have a good time and learn as much as possible. I highly recommend this for anyone who want to make a difference, learn and meet like minded travelers.

I had an amazing time with Jorge and the other travellers in Oaxaca! The work on the farm is hard, and the experience is definitely not for every traveller. 4 days a week are being devoted to hard work at the farm, physically easier work as well as fun activities and visits to different institutions around town. This is not a place to visit if you are looking for accommodation for some hours of farm work but instead a full experience. The three-day-long weekend do however also leave time to go away for weekend trips. All in all it was an incredible experience and I wish I would stay longer!

I loved my volunteer as English tutor. I had no previous experience teaching but the kids were super eager to learn so that made my job easier as well. The town is a such a true Mexican town with no other tourist which I loved. I loved being a part of the little community. I would absolutely do this volunteer again.

I enjoyed the time that I spent with Jorge and the other volunteers in Miahuatlán. The work at the farm is hard, even harder than expected🙈, but we had a good compromise between farm days and social work with the community 🤗 Jorge is a great host and a great person. He made us fell at home. My recommendation is that you learn Spanish before coming. Here is the perfect opportunity to practice it! This would be great for you to interact with the local people. It will make tour experience even better! 😁
