This experience was a childhood dream coming true! Im so deeply grateful for everything i got to do here. The work was sometimes not clear, but maria is very flexible and chill. She expects you to try and work 5-6 hours a day and you get 2 days off. The work with the horses doesnt feel like work at all. You feed them at 7, take care of them (brush, detick, sometimes wash) and ride them (alone, with other volunteers or with tourists). If this was done you could help out in the kitchen (mostly dishes) or some projects they were working on. Make sure you speak some spanish tho!

This was AMAZING. I ended up staying longer cauz i had so much fun. I learned so much Spanish from just working with the people here. They are amazing and I have never laughed harder than at Finca Ixobel. Maria was super nice to me and she made sure that i had everything I needed. In every single way this place is so worth visiting!

Loved the other volunteers and my time overall here at La Finca. There were a lot of bugs and ticks so I only recommend if you are a nature person.

La Finca es un lugar increíble para conectar con la naturaleza, contigo y con gente local. Te encuentras con diferentes especies de animales y lugares por visitar ✨ Conecte con otras voluntarias extranjeras y me encantó! 💜Las tareas son muy adecuadas y todo el personal siempre te apoya en lo que necesites. Quedo muy agradecida con el lugar y con las personas que hicieron mi estadía muy amena.
