My stay was really nice, sometimes the work was hard but the meals were great, the facilities were quite good and I appreciate that everyone was patient with my minimal Spanish and spoke English with me. It was nice to be in a place that felt quiet and relaxed. Some of the jobs I did included planting beans and cucumbers, composting, yard work, and cleaning (demolishing a barbecue). The whole family is very lovely and welcoming and this part of Veracruz is beautiful

I had a fantastic time volunteering with Alex and his family. They're so friendly and welcoming and make you feel at home. The work I did was always varied and enjoyable and the food that Alex and his mother cook is truly delicious! Alex knows so much about everything and I was able to learn many new things thanks to him. It's really insightful to see how the family uses eco technologies to leave minimal impact on the environment. I highly recommend this experience, if you're looking for a truly authentic Mexican experience where you're warmly welcomed and treated with respect.

3 weeks here was the best experience. Alex and his family have pure and warm hearts. Every morning I helped them make local food and had time to talk to them. Also, their cooking skills are the best. I ate a lot every day. The work was not difficult. I could get close to nature by cutting grass or harvesting crops. On weekends, I went somewhere with them to play (a waterfall, a nearby city, or hiking). I originally planned to stay for 2 weeks, but I couldn't leave, so I stayed for another week. The time with Alex is peaceful. The best experience in Mexico.

I had a great time here learning and helping the family. They really look out for you and the hospitality is next to none. They put in a great amount of effort to show you how things work and are so passionate about what projects they work on. The 2 weeks I spent here were so varied and every day brought something new! Always an experience I will cherish😊

We had great experience there., even ended up staying longer. The family is very friendly and generous. Working hours aren't strict and work itself can be something different every day which was fun. We got fed twice a day, always nice meals and even if you get hungry you can always prepare something for yourself. They also took care of me when I fell sick. I would definitely recommend to go there. :)

The family welcomed us with warm energy from day 1 when they picked us up in the bus terminal. The family is very kind, friendly, caring, happy and attentive. They would always treat us on markets if we went on markets. We have been shown around and taken on local adventures to nearby cities. We have been well fed during our whole stay. We had our own private room. The jobs and schedules were very fair. Muchísimas gracias a todos! Gracias por recibirnos en su casa!

I had the pleasure of volunteering at the organization Quetzalcóatl, a family-run project located in a small town in the mountains of Mexico. The experience was incredibly rewarding. The work included farming, cleaning, and taking care of animals, all in a serene, eco-friendly setting. The house itself is massive and beautifully lush with plants, making it a perfect environment for learning about sustainable living. I would highly recommend this volunteer opportunity to anyone interested in permaculture, eco-friendly living, or just looking for a peaceful escape in the mountains.

Fue una experiencia única. Es una familia muy acogedora, a la cual admiro mucho por todo lo que ha logrado. Aprendí muchísimo sobre sustentabilidad. En dos semanas participé en varios proyectos; mis favoritos: ayudar con un sistema de riego, aprender a soldar, sobre composta y cómo hacer huertos. Tienen muchos conocimientos y los comparten con mucha dedicación. Les importa que realmente aprendas. Esta experiencia me ayudó a conocerme y a pensar en cómo quiero vivir. Gracias por todo.
