Manrique is a phenomenal host. He warmly welcomes you into his home and into his daily life activities allowing you to have a more authentic experience. Manrique showed me much kindness and gave me insights into his own personal philosophies and local practices that were truly inspiring. The work is varied and encourages you to try new things. Also the surf can be really good! Overall an amazing experience!

This was my first time out of the country, first Worldpackers, and first time working as a content creator—and I'm grateful that Manrique was my host! I learned to surf, flew a drone, went Latin dancing, and gained tons of new skills. The host's website had super helpful info, communication was great, and I always felt safe. Breakfast was amazing, the local community is warm and welcoming, and the ocean was awesome. I would love to come back!

I had the most amazing time here. Manrique was such a great host. We had loads of activities to do and the work was good fun!We spent most of the time building the clay house which was really cool. It's a bit of a walk from the beach but you can hire tuktuks to take you around and there's a supermarket just down the road :)
