My partner and I have a wonderful 2 weeks at the eco village. We were there during the harvest season (March) and had the opportunity to harvest grapes and make grape juice, wine, and marmalade using those grapes. When we weren't working, we were enjoying meals together, doing yoga, meditation, playing music, we even did a massage workshop! We have intermediate Spanish skills and came away with amazing Spanish practice with the other volunteers who were very patient, kind, and FUN. The community that Bernardo + Macarena have built here is incredible. A truly extraordinary experience.

The inclusive and infectious creative energy at the eco village was palpable throughout our two week stay. We enjoyed working with the hosts and other volunteers to make juice, wine, and preserves from the property's bountiful grape harvest. Hosts Bernardo and Macarena happily gave their time to lead creative sessions featuring yoga, meditation, and music. They encouraged guests to share their areas of expertise and creative skills. An added plus was getting to know their two young sons! We had a great time and would love to visit with them again.

My time on the farm was amazing. I learned so much about nature, and Maca and Bernardo are truly wonderful hosts. Their children are adorable and very well-behaved. Working here was enjoyable every single day, and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

I absolutely loved my experience at this finca. The family are extremely sweet and attentive , you also learn so much in so little time as you help work on the property. They also build a little community among the volunteers which was so nice to be apart of. If I could I would have stayed longer!! ☺️

The eco village is a haven of love, nature, community, and laughter. Bernardo, Macarena, and their boys welcome you like family, creating an unforgettable experience. From sharing meals, yoga and music by the campfire to working on the farm, helping build a bioconstruction house with natural materials, learning tango, and making mate, every moment is magical. Celebrating New Year's Eve—and my birthday—around a campfire with homemade wine, music, and incredible people was the best celebration I've ever had. It's a retreat of peace, spirituality, kindness, unconditional love and culture.
