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.

What a legend! This man fixed 4 different engines, the plumbing in the kitchen sink, cement pouring for the pool, and so much more!!

We HIGHLY recommend Thomas if you want a good-hearted honest and hard working young man to add value to your project!

I had an incredible time at the farm and would highly recommend to anyone that would like to get in touch with nature and educate themselves on the resources that the farm has to offer. For me personally it was lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of travelling and have time to reflect in a beautiful environment. I learnt a lot from Davis and the team who are extremely passionate about the project. I wish the project the best and hope to visit in the future.

I highly recommend the farm! It's an amazing place to learn, connect with people and locals who are genuinely welcoming, and experience Guatemala from a truly authentic perspective. Davis and Luis are wonderful hosts who will make you feel right at home, and the finca itself is like a hidden green paradise, surrounded by stunning nature and delicious food. 🙌🏼 Just a small tip: make sure to pack long sleeves to protect yourself from the bugs! 😊

I've had the most wonderful time here at the farm! It's been a joy to learn about the project and witness how passionate everyone here is about it. I've been able to meet both locals and other travelers, to explore the jungle, to try tons of fresh fruits from the land, to learn new perspectives on the world, and just have a good time. 7/5 stars :)

Me and my partner truly enjoyed our stay at the farm/Tierra Fresca. We felt extremely welcome from the very beginning and spent some real quality time with the project team. It is noticable that everyone is super passionate about the project and the overall energy is very positive and inspiring. The farm itself and surrounding nature are incredibly beautiful and you can harvest fresh fruit from the land, do hikes into the jungle and swim in closeby waterfalls. The downside is that the next town is not that close and that the bugs can be quite annoying, so come prepared (citronella oil ;)

I spent two weeks at the Finca surrounded by the most beautiful nature and eating from the garden. Davis, Luis, and Angela were all wonderful, welcoming, and very interesting hosts. However as they are in the middle of paperwork to develop an eco community at the Finca, there wasn't a lot to do or much instruction on what tasks could be. I felt very free to use my time as I wished but I was limited to what I could do by what I already knew how to do, and I was hoping to learn more about the plants and sustainable agriculture. Nonetheless a beautiful place but beware of the bugs

Hey Ingrid, thanks for the feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your stay :)

Yes, we're still in the development stages right now, as we discussed before you arrived, and quite flexible on our tasks especially when there's a small group like when you were here!

Within the next year, we will have more resources and hands-on support on daily tasks, educational events and workshops to teach more for people looking to learn new skills and knowledge!

Feel free to stay in touch, cheers!
