If you're keen to get your hands dirty and work in nature, this project is perfect for you! Don't expect a hotel, but we were able to sleep and live right in nature. The work in the communities is particularly exciting; that was the absolute highlight for us.

Really nice experience! Tasks are easy, not very time consuming. Adriano is really nice and flexible. You also have to be flexible on the schedule because he depends on many other people, so things may not always go as planned. Adriano offered 2 options for accomodation, one is a hostel and the other is in the land, so you can sleep in a piece of jungle if you are adventurous:) the nature is amazing, learning about beekeeping is also really interesting. You can choose to help with various tasks. Adriano speaks english well but other people don't, so I recommend you to pick up some spanish:)

Mi experiencia en el proyeto ha sido enriquecedora. Aprendí muchísimo sobre el fascinante mundo de las abejas, su papel clave en la polinización, así como el impacto positivo que este proyecto tiene en las comunidades del lugar. Ha sido toda una aventura, pero sin duda muy gratificante. Me permitió conocer de primera mano la vida en estas comunidades, convivir con ellas y reconectar con el AHORA y la naturaleza de una forma muy especial. ÁNIMO a la gente a que se sume a este tipo de iniciativas.
