Claudia and the team at the farm are some of the most generous and kindhearted people I've ever met. The property is unbelievably beautiful and the accommodations are cozy and made me feel like I was home. The work was sometimes tough but always flexible. This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was absolutely amazing! I would 100% recommend this experience.

Hi dear, how are you doing? I hope to listen from you and to know if you are OK we were profoundly grateful for all your efforts and the good work that you did together with Gilda on painting our roofs. And also all the good job that you did with the gardening.
You were superb in everything and so kind and calm and flexible. It was really a pleasure to have you between us. I really hope you have a very good next experience with and of course, if you want some time to come over again...

My experience at the farm was deeply meaningful. From the first day, Cláudia and Rosina welcomed me with a rare, unconditional presence — grounded, caring and deeply human. The space offers more than twenty therapeutic activities with horses, focused on inner work, presence and real connection — not touristic experiences. Through these practices, it becomes natural to realign values, listen deeply and find where you can best serve the collective. Work here can be intense, but it flows from love, coherence and shared purpose, creating a space where life and work meet with meaning.

Dear bear friend, this partnership must continue, yes sir. What you have opened here as a portal of knowledge is amazing, and we need to keep learning from you, and we hope to be able to repay you for what you deserve for your great ability to create something new and open doors to the world. Thank you for everything; I hope you enjoy your new adventures and that we can continue working together!

When I left, it seemed I had arrived only a week before and not five. My first experience with horses was beautiful, much is due to what Iyuptala is. Clau and Rosi are wonderful people with whom one can learn a lot and with whom just a conversation is not enough. The project is very well done and for someone who is a volunteer it is difficult to have a bad experience. I loved working and being with Fabrizio and Belén, every day there was something new and I only wish that any job I do is with people like them. The farm is magical, thank you very much for the opportunity Claudia

It has truly been a pleasure to have spent time with you, Rodrigo, for everything you contributed as a person to our time together and to our nourishing conversations, and also for your volunteer work helping with the tasks of caring for our horses, always with an absolutely immaculate attitude and a willingness to leave everything with a sense of dedication, reaffirming our commitment. We are very happy with your participation in our project, and the doors remain open for when you feel like returning!

What a magical place the farm, a unique experience.
The space is beautiful, with all the comforts and surrounded by countryside.
The tasks are simple, mostly in contact with the horses, sharing the work with the capataz, who knows a lot, shares her knowledge and is a great person.
Clau is an inspiration, a great teacher, very wise, highly accessible and with a strong vocation to teach.
Also Rosi, Pri, volunteers and all the people around are fantastic.
There are all kinds of activities where the possibility to learn is enormous.
And we keep going for more.
Blessed and grateful🙏🏼❤

My experience on the farm was deeply enriching on a personal and human level. I participated in gardening tasks, pet care, and activities in the stables, always in an atmosphere of respect and collaboration. The atmosphere is warm, ideal for connecting with nature and a conscious lifestyle. I felt supported in every experience, and I highlight Claudia's generosity and the kindness of her entire team. I would recommend it to those seeking something authentic and transformative. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the exchange and the lived community. I’m taking away a lot of beautiful moments 🙏🏽 💓

Dear Gilda, it was a huge pleasure for me to share with you your stay, your warmth and your simplicity, your serene and firm presence, the affection with which you treated my pet, and your complete willingness for tasks that arose along the way. Undoubtedly, also having shared with you the spiritual moments for us, I felt very grateful and impressed by the deep work you carried out. I am very happy with what you will take away from this.
