Hands-on Permaculture at our Off-Grid Nature Retreat Center

Describing this experience is challenging; words can't fully convey its greatness. Collaborating with Manuela in the kitchen, using farm-fresh produce, was a delightful blast. During my three-week stay, I learned extensively about permaculture from Guillermo and Manuela, discussing over shared meals the highlight. The charming animals and diverse projects, from gardens to a new cabin, added depth to my stay. It wasn't just a work exchange; it was the creation of meaningful connections. I'll surely return to relive this extraordinary experience.

Manuela and Guillermo are very welcoming hosts! They are very open minded and kind people! I had a great time staying with them for two weeks and wish I could have stayed longer. The volunteering experience is great you get to cook every meal, help with the gardening in the green house and the land all the while learning about permaculture techniques to make the land more fertile. The place is really remote which is amazing as you are completely immersed in nature and you can even walk down to their private waterfall!!

I can highly recommend the lodge as a place to disconnect from the noises of our everyday world and get back in touch with yourself through being immersed in breathtaking nature. Manu and Guillermo are a beautiful and conscious couple that made me feel so welcomed and free to explore the different jobs on the farm. I got really inspired to apply some of the principles and daily rituals into my life.

Our experience was fantastic! The place is surrounded by nature and millions of animals. We slept in a cosy place contacted to the nature. What was wonderful and comfy. The food was just incredible! We never eat such delicious food plus super healthy and home made. We mostly helped with gardening, planting tree's, cooking and in our free time we enjoyed the private waterfall, night walks or bonfire. Thank you so much for that experience and your lovely host.

I loved staying at the lodge! I learned a lot about permaculture, cooking, and how to start my own project. I felt inspired by what they have done here and Manuela and Guilhermo were very kind, welcoming hosts. The rancho that I stayed in was cozy and perfect. I miss all the animals!

It was my first time volunteering through world packers. I felt very safe and welcomed at the lodge. The hosts were amazing! Very laid back with the tasks and let me do what I felt most come to able with. They like to have their volunteers do tasks they enjoy doing. I helped with social media, cleaning, prepared meals, harvested hibiscus & okras. It was cool seeing how they live sustainable and off grid. I left with an inspiration to take a permaculture course! There's so much more to say but not enough room. I will miss you guys, you two are such great hosts!! I hope to come back :)

Ha sido un privilegio conectar con la naturaleza: (como ir a la catarata todas las mañanas a meditar) y el contacto humano con Manuela y Guillermo, con quienes cantamos, cocinamos, meditamos y que tendremos en el corazón. Todo fue fácil con ellos, fueron claros en qué necesitaban y amables y flexibles con lo que necesitábamos. Estar en el rancho fue lo que más disfrutamos. Similar a estar de acampada con lujo (cama cómoda, vistas increíbles) y total privacidad. Alargamos nuestra estadía gracias a lo cómodos y a la preciosa energía que compartimos. ¡Volveremos!
