My experience with Manrique's exceeded all my expectations. It felt like summer camp in the best way possible and the time spent volunteering never felt like work. I got to see the entire process of how the clay was made, from straining and mixing it and got to work with metal as well. Manrique also organized group activities throughout the week, which were a great way to bond with other volunteers and get to see the local culture.

Such an amazing experience at the project! Felt like a little family away from home for a short while. Manrique is a very kind, knowledgable, understanding and down to earth guy. I feel like I got so much out of my stay here, yummy breakfast every day, work hours were only a couple a day, but even then I learnt so much - Building clay walls, gardening, organising and fixing things. During down time we'd go to salsa night, surf a lot, connect with locals over music and art and much more.Manrique is so well connected with the community, the perfect place to come if you want to immerse yourself

I know everyone says it in the reviews but the host is truly amazing and arguably the best host you could ever ask for. For this reason alone I would consider this place. I learned so many new things and found lots of new hobbies to keep practicing back home. The work itself was fulfilling and I learned a lot. My overall experience was very grounded and spiritual, exactly what I was looking for!

Manrique is wonderful! He is very kind and communicative. Work tasks and fun activities are clearly defined and agreed upon ahead. It felt like the right balance between full days and down time. Surfing and capoeira were a blast! I am so grateful for my time at the project and highly recommend!
