Victor and his friends were so welcome. Immediatly felt part of the family. The location is amazing, remote into nature with a small local village next to it. Good balance between work and pleasure. I can definetly recommend this place to come and volunteer at!!!

La experiencia en The Republic of Corn fue genial.Es un lugar en plena conexión con la naturaleza.Con Víctor aprendimos muchas habilidades de trabajo, pero también sobre la fauna y la flora local. Lexi hizo que nos sintieramos a gusto en el lugar. Sin embargo la selva no es un lugar con todas las comodidades de las que disfrutamos día a día,por ello es importante ir con una mente abierta y estar dispuesto/a vivir sin ciertas comodidades y en convivencia con toda la fauna que habita en la selva.
Lexi y Victor son muy buenos anfitriones, hacen que te sientas parte de este bonito proyecto.

My stay at the Republic of Corn was amazing. Victor and Lexie made me feel right at home, and I learned a lot from them. The place is perfect for reconnecting with nature. I had a great time and met wonderful people during my five days with them. I wish you all the best for the rest of your adventure.

Volunteering at the Republic of Corn was truly a great experience. Victor has so much heart and passion for this project, it is truly inspiring. It was our first time volunteering and didn't know what to expect but the work was as the ad suggested. Our only suggestion is to improve the overall cleanliness of the place. Victor and Lexi have a lot of experience to share and talking to them was our favourite part because we learnt so much about the region, about Mexico and it's beautiful culture, politics, food, flaura and fauna and the list can go on. We would recommend it!

My stint at the Republic of Corn was absolutely fantastic! Victor was like a sustainability guru, welcoming me with open arms and a treasure trove of knowledge. He showed me the ropes of eco-friendly living and building in the most laid-back yet insightful way possible. I came away not just with newfound skills but also a refreshed perspective on living more consciously. Seriously, if you're up for an offbeat adventure that's both fun and meaningful, this place is where it's at! Trust me, you won't regret diving into Victor's super cool project at the Republic of Corn.
