Our experience was just amazing in the farm, the team was super cool and super fun ! It was a great opportunity to learn a new skill for us (bamboo construction) and to share with locals about culture and a conscious lifestyle in nature. Thank you Davis and Skye for welcoming us into this magical experience <3

It was a pleasure to have you and Raphaël as the final two volunteers under my management at Finca Arabia. The energy you brought is exactly what made this place special.
The last day was bittersweet.. saying bye to amazing humans like you while also closing this chapter... but I'm so grateful you got to experience a taste of the magic that genuine community can offer.
Please stay in touch. I'd love to welcome you both into future projects when the time is right.

We had an amazing time volunteering at this finca! Working on the bamboo house construction was such a rewarding and unique experience. You really get to learn by doing, and it feels great to contribute to a hands-on project like this.
The place itself is absolute paradise — surrounded by the lush jungle, peaceful, and incredibly quiet. It’s the perfect spot if you want to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
On top of that, the hosts and the people I met there were unbelievably kind and welcoming from day one. I felt right at home immediately.
Thank you for everything Finca Arabiaaa !

Tierra Fresca is not just a place to practice and learn about sustainable living -- it's a place where the volunteers, organizers, and locals share a community dedicated to strengthening the bond between people and their environment. During my time here, not only did I form a connection with the surrounding jungle that had physical benefits on my health, but I also learned just how easy it is to get along with people from around the world. The staff at Tierra Fresca is incredibly generous, fun, and committed to their work, and they made my stay as comfortable as I could have imagined.

Thank you for your genuine reflection Theo, it means more to us than can be expressed through these few words to hear you express the impact that your experience with Tierra Fresca had on you, to help develop a deeper connection with nature, better your health, and increase your knowledge and social capacities <3 You are always welcome back here, and we look forward to seeing you again soon :)

My time at Tierra Fresca was, without a doubt, the most meaningful and incredible few weeks of my life. The land and wildlife were abundant and absolutely stunning, but the community and leaders of the program exceeded every expectation. Not only do I now have a home away from home, but a second family that embraced me with open arms and hearts. I will be forever thankful for this opportunity, and highly recommend Tierra Fresca to anyone seeking an eye opening experience immersed in nature. I left Guatemala at peace, and am already planning my next journey back to the farm❤️

My time spent at Tierra Fresca was nothing short of incredible. The mission, property, accommodations, work, food, and experience was amazing, but what really changed my life was the incredible people running this beautiful farm. The commitment, compassion, and experience they all posses was mind blowing. The 3 leaders of this project : Davis, Luis Pedro, and Angela all had pure hearts and intentions- but had their own niches and skills of their own which add up to a beautiful end goal. I'm running out space, but would absolutely recommend this program to any traveler. I will be back.

Staying at the farm was such a unique and unforgettable experience! The 2 weeks I stayed flew by so quickly. Each day can differ so there's always something new to learn. We learned so much about gardening, permaculture, sustainable living, and even did some building. Everyone is very kind and encourages you to follow your own passions with the work to do what feels right. I love to cook so I often spent a lot of time in the kitchen! We often got to hike to waterfalls either after a morning of working and we even did a full day 3-waterfall hike which was incredible. I loved this place!!

My best friend and I stayed here for two weeks and we absolutely loved it. Luis, Davis, and Angela were all amazing hosts and had us feel very welcome. The tasks we did were super engaging, fun and special. Each day was different and we learnt so much from our stay about the land, gardening, nature and planting! We did so many fun activities with other volunteers like go in the pool, dance parties, bonfires, picnics, waterfall hikes and so much more. Missing Tierra Fresca already and definitely will be back again. Thank you for everything! Miss you family 🫶🫶

Aw its so heart warming to read your reviews :') It's truly an honor and we're so grateful to be able to help to inspire a more regenerative way of living, and share so many experiences. And thanks for the birthday card!! Very special <3 Take care and see you next time!
What a pleasure and an honor to have returned to this heart-centered project. The leaders: Davis, Luis Pedro, and Angela are a joy to work with. The energy of this land is wholesome and regenerative. And it's so nice to get my hands in the dirt, learning permaculture principles, and growing food naturally. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to contribute to the creation of a self-sustainable community. Also, the amount of waterfalls is crazy... if you love hiking in the jungle (with a machete in hand) then definitely consider applying!

It was beautiful to stay at Tierra Fresca. I stayed with my girlfriend for two weeks. The space is truly amazing, in the middle of the forest and therefore perfect to connect with nature. Luis and Davis have been great hosts, available and open for any questions we had. I really recommend to stay at this Finca and enjoy your time there. There are many possibilities to work on their project with different tasks. :)

Tierra Fresca is an excellent place to volunteer! Everyone at the farm is very welcoming and will do their best to make you feel at home. There is some flexibility in what tasks you want to do/when you want to do them, so you can focus on your interests. Everyone at Tierra Fresca has a lot of knowledge and is clearly passionate about the project, so even though things are still in the beginning stages there is a lot to learn. You have to learn to live with the bugs and challenges of being in a more remote area, but getting to live immersed in the jungle is one of the best parts.
