It was beautiful to stay at Tierra Fresca. I stayed with my girlfriend for two weeks. The space is truly amazing, in the middle of the forest and therefore perfect to connect with nature. Luis and Davis have been great hosts, available and open for any questions we had. I really recommend to stay at this Finca and enjoy your time there. There are many possibilities to work on their project with different tasks. :)

Tierra Fresca is an excellent place to volunteer! Everyone at the farm is very welcoming and will do their best to make you feel at home. There is some flexibility in what tasks you want to do/when you want to do them, so you can focus on your interests. Everyone at Tierra Fresca has a lot of knowledge and is clearly passionate about the project, so even though things are still in the beginning stages there is a lot to learn. You have to learn to live with the bugs and challenges of being in a more remote area, but getting to live immersed in the jungle is one of the best parts.

Words aren't enough to do justice to Tierra Fresca! If you want to learn about regenerative agriculture, community building or simply what it's like to live in the jungle: this is your place. If you love to hike, find waterfalls, enjoy breathtaking sites of birds, being surrounded by the mere frequencies of abundance: this is your place. Be ready: part of biodiversity is the insects who give you a very warm welcome! So bring long sleeves and you'll be find + it's a good invitation to practice patience and self control not to scratch. I'm deeply grateful for this experience!!!

I had a great time at the farm. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The nature in the farm is amazing for going for a walk and connecting with nature. I can't wait to return in the future and see how this property has transformed into the project.

I had an amazing stay at Tierra Fresca. Surrounded by cool people, good vibes and great stories. If you want to immerse yourself with nature and do creative projects, this is a nice place to stay. Hats off to Davis, Luis, Angela and everyone involved for putting in a lot of work to make the project work. Viva the farm and Tierra Fresca
