I absolutely loved my time here! I would 100% do it again. Juan is so lovely and very kind. Anything you need he will help you with. The experience itself was fantastic. The food made by Esther was phenomenal. Lovely community and people. It really feels like home after you are there for sometime.

I stayed with Juan for one week but I wish I could have stayed longer! Juan and his family are carying and you I felt welcome anytime! I worked in the garden, made bricks and plaques and visited a family! It is great to have an impact and see where it helps people. I highly recommend this place if you want to learn something about sustainability and you don't mind making your hands dirty!

This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have chosen a better one- I loved every second of it. El Campo Santo is truly a blessing to the community as they help in multiple ways. 100000% recommend!

This was my first time doing Worldpackers and I had a blast! Juan was a super engaging and friendly guy and he took me to see a lot of cool things. The project is doing important and inspiring work and I feel lucky to have been a part of it. Also his mom and the whole family is very friendly and make you feel at home. I highly recommend this experience!

I've done plenty of volunteer programs in my life, and this one is one of the best! The place is beautiful, with interesting projects, the food is delicious, Esther (Juan's mum) is so kind and really funny, and Juan is very attentive to your needs and who you are. I definitely recommend it! Thank you so much!
