To exchange knowledge and be in contact with nature about cocoa. I clarify the stream is very good to enjoy from September to January.
Me dedico en el cultivo del cacao desde la germinación de semillas hasta la cosecha de la mazorca del cacao. Dependiendo en la fecha de siembra, podrán participar en la etapa del proceso de ese momento. Los voluntarios colaborarán con el proyecto 4 horas, diarias con un día de descanso.

About the experience in: San pedro Pochutla, Mexico
Mexico
Es una experiencia muy enriquecedora y retadora para la gente que no está acostumbrada a la vida de campo. Me encantó vivir algo totalmente distinto, convivir con la naturaleza, con los perritos de la finca. Recomendación llevar repelente de insectos y aún así prepararte de las ronchas que se te harán aunque te pongas repelente. Don Lupe sabe mucho del cacao, acércate y pregúntale de todo.

Immersive, unique, and I enjoyed the learning greatly. It's a great option if you want to get off grid, spend quiet afternoons, use your body, learn about a family farm. NOTE: - the town is really small, only three little markets. I was trying to practice my Spanish and found it more challenging to meet people to hang with, as there's no bars or restaurants. Don Lupe is very up for chatting though, which was fun and appreciated. Julio n Javier, who work there, are quiet but also kind and fun to be around. - the labor can be hard, but I enjoyed having a tired body at the end of the day.

I'm sorry but this was the worst volunteering experience. I had to leave and contact Worldpackers support for the first time in my life on the second day after finding ticks where I was sleeping. I was excited to go and learned about cacao and because I saw the good reviews from years ago. This was just not as expected and turned out super disappointing. The place is disorganised, dirty and unattended. The host wasn't even there and their workers to follow are kids. It might just be a single occasion but it was a terrible experience for me. Wouldn't recommend at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time staying at the camping. Don Lupe is a charismatic host with lots of knowledge (and plenty of anecdotes) from his time in the countryside cultivating cacao. The whole family are friendly and generous in sharing their space, as well as Mari's delicious cooking! We did a great variety of tasks across a reasonable work schedule, and I left knowing a lot more about how cacao is grown, harvested, and processed. Plus theres a small river you can cool off in after your shift, just remember to bring enough bug repellant to put on afterwards ;) Thank you to all!

Estar en la finca fue una experiencia completamente fuera de lo que acostumbro tuvo sus retos pero todo de manera positiva, Don Lupe y su familia son super generosos y amables te comparten muchas cosas tanto físicas como impalpables, me llevo un muy buen recuerdo y mucho aprendizaje 🤍
