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!

Absolutely loved my experience! Truly one of the best volunteer programs I have done during my travels. Juan is very attentive and kind. Doña Esther, which is his mother and cooks the meals is such a silly, kind, and caring soul. The experience allows for lots of introspection. I'd highly recommend!!!!

This was our first experience through world packers and it was amazing, I can't recommend it enough! Juan and his family are amazing, so friendly, accommodating, and very inspiring. The work the foundation does is incredible and I am so honoured to have been a part of it. Everything is well explained, working hours are good, there is lots of time for rest as well as work, and on days off you can explode nearby ecological parks which are great if you like hiking!

If you are reading this, it means you are considering it... Please please go here. Juan and his family are the kindest, loving and welcoming people. We felt very supported the entire time and part of the family. The work you do is really important and varies each day. We learnt so much from this opportunity and made memories for life. There are really special people so please treat them with respect and give them your very best. Added bonus- Mamas food is incredible! Extremely accommodating, fun and impactful. Cannot recommend this enough.
