My time here was great and I'm really happy to have volunteered with Jorge and Maria (and Bori). The work was varied and I enjoyed this. You put in good effort but it's rewarding! The location is beautiful and you feel you have your own space. I really felt looked out for and the hospitality/social aspect was great. Thankyou all!

The eco village is truly a wonderful experience, away from the big city and perfect to calm down and focus on yourself. The work is demanding but not exhausting and with the delicious food from Maria and Jorge you will have enough energy for the day.

One of my favorite Worldpackers experiences! Jorge and Maria are amazing, kind hosts who make you feel very comfortable and apart of the family. The location is stunning, with views of the east side of the island from on top of the mountain. The work was therapeutic, I painted, did some light construction, and cleaned. Maria's probably the best cook in the entire island, dinner time was the best. The conversations with them and the volunteers were always lively with lots of laughter and learning. You fall asleep at night listening to the sounds of the forest and it's very peaceful.

The eco village is a second home! Jorge and Maria are the two most extreme, loving, conscientious, and giving people. I had the opportunity of working with the land, implementing construction as a handy hand, making pan and tostones, exploring throughout the island, and so so much laughter and good spirit. You WILL learn here, you will grow, and you will do it all in the heart of good spirit and company. Highly, highly recommend these hosts! =)

This experience completely exceeded my expectations.The Cabins that we stayed in were so comfy and at the top of the mountain where we would watch such beautiful sunrises and star gaze. Mila and Susi are the sweetest poopies. The food was amazing and Maria helped teach us some of her plates. And Jorge taught us his many phrases. We all stayed up late playing games and music together. Lots of hard labor for everyone, but it was an overall amazing experience and dive into everyday sustainability. And I got to paint a mural so I didn't mind haha Siempre puedes vivir con menos :) 💚
