This was my first WorldPackers experience and my first solo travel out of my country. The hosts Enrique and Edgar are very personable and flexible and the work given was straight forward and as presented, the farm possibility of choices. They both also offered us volunteers cool opportunities like Wakeboarding and free rides to Valle for events. The workers on the farm were nice and, Han a cowboy who lives on the farm is a great interesting person who really made the experience. It misses 5 stars because of the conditions the farm volunteer house which are false on WP with 5 year outdated pics

Thank you very much for your kind words, Cruz! It was a pleasure to have you with us. You were a great volunteer, always with a good attitude and willingness to help, and without a doubt you contributed a lot to the team.

We also appreciate your feedback about the volunteers' house. We are aware that there are aspects to improve, and we are currently working on its remodel to offer a more comfortable space. The rainy season didn't help us much with the conditions of the house, but we are getting better.
