The experience was a bit like living with a host family. I helped picking almonds in the morning and had the afternoon free. The region is very rural and has a lot of agriculture. There's not much that you can do there, which you should just be aware of. You might be able to visit a city nearby but that understandably depends on the family's schedule. Rafael and Mateo are nice and very open but do argue with each other and their mother like teenagers do. I am vegan and therefore helped quite a lot in the kitchen, as agreed upon before, and Lisette definitely was open for that.

This was my first volunteering experience and Lisette and her childreen made me feel welcome from the very beginning. The work was flexible and easy to manage – I mostly helped with the almond harvest – and Lisette is very fair with the hours, leaving plenty of free time to relax. The finca is off-grid and surrounded by beautiful nature, which makes it very peaceful, and Lisette even took the time to show me some of the nearby cities, which I really enjoyed. I'd recommend this experience to anyone who wants to help out with flexible tasks while enjoying family life and being close to nature.

Lisette was an amazing host and I will forever cherish the time I spent on her Finca. Each day brings something new, so be prepared to go with the flow of what is required to live on a finca. As a vegetarian, Lisette was very accommodating and I ate very well. There is also a nice balance of work and downtime, where you can get to know her wonderful family and owners of neighboring fincas. I wholeheartedly recommend this volunteer experience to anyone willing to put in the work because it is so rewarding.

Liesette is absolutely lovely! The finca is her house and she has two teenagers, we spent time together as she makes you feel part of the family. The work was well instructed and easy. Loved the pancakes breakfast and being spoiled haha It's far from cities but it's such a beautiful place, really peaceful! I shared the room with the other sweet volunteer, it was cozy! It was a enjoyable time, thank you Lisette S2
