My friend and I stayed at the lodge for one week and absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed the 21 included meals, all the activities (including but not limited to birdwatching, mushroom tours, night walks, aquatic fauna monitoring), and all the staff (big highlight is divine Juanita) were so lovely. Everyone is just FANTASTIC and so at peace in this beautiful slice of paradise. I ran 1:1 English classes with Mauricio, Jhon and two of the staff members' children. The work was straightforward and rewarding. The river running through the lodge is just PERFECTION and I miss it already. 100% recommend.

I loved staying in the lodge. The staff were nice, everyone was keen on organising everthing so that everybody enjoyed themselves to the fullest. The food is great! The beds are great! The work is great! I learnt a lot about farming and gained hands on experience on how things are dealt with in the garden. I loved caring for the chickens the most😆 On the last working day I got to enjoy a language exchange and a Salsa class.💃 If i were to name any bad moments is that one of the staff members was hitting on me and found it very difficult to take a no. Anyways, I would gladly return!❤️

I was supposed to stayed only one week but extended my stay for two more days because it really was wonderful. The work is super easy and amazing to be outside in contact with nature. 10/10 for the food 😍

I was only here for one week but I wish I'd stayed longer!! It was such a great place to volunteer and the work on the game was so varied and interesting. Also a great place to learn and practice Spanish as the lessons are great. The farm is beautiful and lovely to be able to swim in the nearby river to cool off after working in the morning. Lots of activities organised around the farming but also lots of time to relax. Great value and I would really recommend!!

I've spent two weeks volunteering at the lodge and I really enjoyed my stay. The permaculture courses were super interesting. They were only in spanish tho, but everyone was super nice and spoke „despacio“ and the other volunteers helped me translate when needed :) The hours are exactly as written online and they provide three delicious meals. A big thank you to dani& cami for making me feel super welcome in such a beautiful place. After work you have plenty of time to swim in the river, chill in a hammock, join activities like salsa, yoga or make your own chocolate. Would recommend!!!

This was my first Worldpackers volunteering experience, and I absolutely loved it! I gained valuable insights into sustainability initiatives, learned about the origins of permaculture, and experienced life in San Rafael while picking up useful travel tips. The team was incredibly responsive when unexpected situations arose, and their dedication to making this volunteering opportunity meaningful was truly commendable. Thank you for an unforgettable experience—I look forward to staying in touch!

I loved the experience at the lodge, being able to connect with nature, people, the music, and above all to reconnect in such a beautiful way with biology has been immensely rewarding for me; Jesse and the whole team make you feel at home ❤️ I really hope to come back.

My experience with the lodging was spectacular! From the beginning I felt super welcomed by Cami and then by the rest of the team. Everyone is super attentive and close. Ranfi and Leo explained very well the work to be done and they were super calm and patient. The language exchange activity with Carlos and the yoga was super! The place is beautiful and perfect to disconnect and enjoy nature and the lodging. It was my first experience in this type of volunteering and I recommend it 100%. Memories to all, I will miss you! (Including the little Sami 🥹❤️

Mi paso por el alojamiento fue hermoso :) Es muy fácil generar comunidad entre compañeras/os, todo el equipo está pendiente de que se pase una estadía armoniosa, se come delicioso, variado y se adaptan a tu tipo de alimentación. Además, se está rodeado de naturaleza, se aprende muchisimo de permacultura y del cuidado de la tierra. Todo ha sido maravilloso, estoy muy agradecida y feliz de haber elegido este lugar, definitivamente lo recomiendo. Mención especial a Dani, super atenta y amorosa. ¡Gracias! <3
