Siembra y cosecha. Construcción y mantenimiento.

I had a really fantastic time at the eco village. Jorge and Maria are phenomenal hosts, and I very much enjoyed the work we did and learning new things (mainly in construction). Their philosophy is that we can all live with less, and I definitely saw them sticking to that. Being there also helped me practice and improve my Spanish, as well as connect with people from around the world.

Jorge and Maria were so sweet and genuinely wanted to make sure you had a good stay. The work was varied which I liked. Painting, cutting down trees, building maintenance, cleaning kitchen and bathroom. Work was done by 2 or 3 so you had the rest of the day free and San Juan is a $25 Uber so have lots of opportunities to explore. The cabins are rustic but it's a great place to connect with nature and practice Spanish

This was an amazing experience all around. This was my first world packers experience and it was perfect. Jorge and Maria are the kindest souls who have built a great eco friendly community. My tasks varied from painting benches, painting and remodeling the bathroom/shower area. One day we cut trees and invasive plants with machetes. Lots of organizing and cleaning different areas around the farm. They have about 10 cabins on the 2 acres of land. And the food María cooked for us was amazing. They are very accommodating to your schedule as long as you communicate. I <3 the eco village!!!!!

I had a wonderful time at the eco village. It's an extremely beautiful property that has absolutely amazing views to look at every night. The food is spectacular. Jorje and Maria are two of the most welcoming, hilarious, and sweet people i've ever worked with through Worldpacker. There was definitely a language barrier for me because I don't speak spanish, but we still laughed all the time. The work was very fun, challenging at times, and rewarding. Everything was better than I expected and I would thoroughly recommend!

My time at the eco village was unforgettable. I improved my Spanish, learned to wash clothes by hand, and gained confidence by trying tasks outside my usual comfort zone. Jorge's kindness and Maria's amazing cooking made the experience even better. Sharing moments with fellow volunteers was truly special. If you want to immerse yourself in nature, embrace a digital detox, and be open to new challenges, I highly recommend it.

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 :) 💚
