A piece of paradise, super-diverse project in Amazon Rainforest

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was warmly welcomed by Thomas (and Zeus 🐶) who I both got along with very well. During the time Thomas has spent in the jungle, he has constructed something pretty incredible; both the hostel & several other projects, but also the vibe which comes with staying at the farm. The contract is followed rigidly, and Thomas never expects anything more than you agreed on. We also usually went down to the river to cool off after a very warm day! 5 ⭐️ Thank you, Thomas 💪

The place is beautiful, the rivers and waterfalls around are amazing, the working hours are respected and Thomas is such a nice person who likes a nice chatting, playing games, teaching and showing us around. I appreciate ❤️ Negative thing: Food policy. That's ok we have limited variety of food, we can be creative, but, when we asked for bread and tomato sauce, he said we should make our own. Not fair since we are paying for food. Sometimes after work we want to eat easy, not baking or making sauce that takes time. The quality of coffee and rice provided where bad. We bought it separately.

I try to explain to everyone in detail that we are deep in the jungle and we always try to chose natural and local food sources for health, sustainability and at times a lack of availability. For many of our volunteers cooking together to make creative meals is one of their favorite experiences while here. We buy our coffee and rice from local producers right here in the jungle. Allan was unique in some of his preferences and demands while here.

Mi experiencia en la granja fue buena. No fue lo que esperaba la verdad, pero no estuvo mal. El lugar es muy lindo y se podrían hacer un millón de cosas, pero falta organización para las actividades y responsabilidad del anfitrión para llevarlas a cabo. Y algo que si voy a destacar es que si no hablas inglés no es un lugar para ir.

This is the second time I've had a native Spanish speaker very disappointed because they can't speak English well. I clearly explained to Mailen before agreeing to come here that we host volunteers from all around the world. I explained that naturally the language that almost everyone will have in common is english, and that she may get lucky and find some volunteers with decent Spanish. The result can be feeling isolated if you can't communicate well with others. We have had other volunteers with less ability to communicate, that made the best of things and had a great time.
I always spoke to Mailen in Spanish and translated things to Spanish when I could.

As I explain to everyone before agreeing to come here, we are a very small operation with a lot going on and not as organized and predictable as many would like, yet so much to offer that the others don't.

Esta es la segunda vez que tenemos un voluntario que fue muy decepcionado porque no habla bien inglés. Antes de aceptar venir aquí, le expliqué claramente a Mailen que recibimos voluntarios de todo el mundo. Le expliqué que naturalmente el idioma que casi todos tendrán en común es el inglés, y que tal vez tenga suerte y encuentre algunos voluntarios con un español decente. El resultado puede ser sentirse aislado si no puede comunicarse bien con los demás. Hemos tenido otros voluntarios con menos capacidad de comunicación, que sacaron lo mejor de las cosas y se lo pasaron muy bien.
Siempre hablé con Mailen en español y traducido cosas al español cuando podía.

Como les explico a todos antes de aceptar venir aquí, somos una operación muy pequeña con muchas actividades distintas y no tan organizadas y predecibles como a muchos les gustaría, pero aún así tenemos mucho que ofrecer que los demás no tengan.

Estar en la hacienda fue de las mejores experiencias que he tenido. Es muy fácil conocer gente de todo el mundo. Hicimos un grupo muy lindo con el que seguimos viajando. El sitio es de sueño y te adentras al 100% en la naturaleza. Fue como estar en familia y Thomas se encarga de que sea así organizando planes juntos y comiendo juntos todos los días. Igual se podrian hacer tareas distintas, a veces era un poco monótono, así como la organización se podría mejorar, pero si te gusta la naturaleza y vivir en el Amazonas, esta experiencia es 100% recomendable. Gracias Thomas!

My time at the farm was incredible, I really enjoyed my time there as I got to be surrounded by amazing travelers and friends who became a family to me!! Thomas is such an amazing guy and very chill, the work varies from day to day and the whole time he tried to give us a lot of useful techniques for better work! The place is wonderful & is amazing to be in the jungle. Huapo is such a beautiful place and I really really recommend coming here if you feel the call. Thank you again for everything, I take beautiful memories from my time there and such amazing souls I met along the way!

I had a fantastic time at the farm. It is located in true rural Peru and offers a glimpse into the local way of life. Thomas was a great host that encouraged teamwork amongst the volunteers and made sure everyone was settling into the project. There's a great balance between work and play at the project and I was sad to leave.

I felt that the volunteering at hacienda Matteo was a great escape to nature! There was lots to do and the work was not too difficult but the downtime was great. A family atmosphere was created with communal meals and group outings!
