Spending a month in the jungle was a truly transformative experience. I learned so much about plants, animals, and the natural world, becoming a part of the jungle itself. Manuel was an incredible teacher—his knowledge of cooking, jungle behavior, and plant life was invaluable. The tasks were easy yet fulfilling, the food was delicious, and the company was fantastic. Every day felt like an adventure, and I left with a deep appreciation for the jungle and the wisdom it holds. Highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking connection with nature and a new way of living!

Life at the lodge is very different to what most people are used to, but that's what makes it special. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the jungle and with nature. The people at the lodge are extremely welcoming and considerate. I only speak English and they made sure I knew what was going on and made me feel included. The work is difficult but engaging, and your afternoons are yours to do what you please. My advice for future volunteers is to bring quick drying clothing and some soap, and to bring plenty of protection against mosquitos. Overall I had a wonderful experience here.
