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❤️

You and your brothers were truly a gift to have here... It's an honor to hear this, and know that we could help bring you a deeper sense of peace and meaning. <3 Thank you for all of your kindness, support, contributions, insight and inspiration! Take good care and see you again soon :)

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.
