I had a wonderful experience at the project! Leo and his family were so welcoming - it felt like being at home. I especially enjoyed the communal breakfasts and lunches together. His two little girls are amazing as well - full of energy and joy! The task was explained beforehand, with a clear timetable and rota each day, with each afternoon free to enjoy the waterfalls and surrounding nature. We made landscape terraces, which was hard work, but very satisfying and I learnt a lot. Also great Spanish practice! A lovely community there! Thank you leo and keila!

My time at the project was lovely! While there, I helped Leo planting, trimming and cleaning the field and digging a hole for a fish pond. We worked in the morning, and other than that, helped with cooking, cleaning and being with the kids. I've learned a lot about plants, and spent a lovely time playing with the girls! Leo also though me about natural cosmetics, although it was not the actual work during my stay, as there were other projects he needed help with. Both leo and keyla were very welcoming and caring, and made me feel at home. Very happy to help this beautiful project

Leo's project is immersed into nature. The activities vary from building with mud to learning about natural cosmetics. Be aware that it can get physical. The beds for the volunteers are unattended (you need not to mind bugs, humidity and mosquitoes. Fair, being in the jungle). Leo has two children. They are lovely, energetic and demand attention. Be aware that childcare is not listed as one of the activities, but it is one of them, if not the main one. We had a lovely time with them. You'll take turns cooking meals (creativity with little ingredients required). We loved our time there.

Leo is someone truly committed to his lifestyle in the jungle, fully embracing a way of living in harmony with nature. He is an admirable person, always taking care of his two daughters and managing all the activities on the farm with dedication. The internet connection is good but not available throughout the entire farm, which slightly changed my initial plans. However, the surroundings are absolutely stunning. One thing that really surprised me was the number of Europeans in the area, both as tourists and as residents. Leo's two daughters are adorable but extremely demanding of attention.
