I spent four amazing weeks at the farm and it became one of my most memorable experiences of my travels. Rodrigo was a welcoming and generous host who trusted me with lots of responsibility, especially with the horses, and really made me feel part of the hacienda. I loved working alongside Escequiel and spending my days caring for, handling and riding the horses. Verónica was incredibly kind and made me feel so cared for and welcome. I originally planned to stay two weeks but extended to four, which says it all! I'm leaving with amazing memories and will especially miss Silhouette

I had a good time at the ranch! For the first week I was the only volunteer, which was a little bit lonely but once another volunteer arrived, things got a lot more enjoyable. The ranch staff are incredibly friendly and try to strike up a conversation. It does help to be able to speak or understand a bit of Spanish, as the people you spend most of the day with don't speak English. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, and at the weekend there's time for your own activities. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of travelling and spend some time in nature, this is it!

I had an amazing time here! Rodrigo was such a kind host and went out of his way to help when needed. Worked primarily with Ezekiel who was very sweet and we got to ride the horses a lot! It is quite remote so just make sure you know that before coming but I really enjoyed being able to disconnect and really be with nature and horses! Have you weekends off to so you are able to explore lots!!

I had a great three weeks volunteering at the farm. I worked mostly with Ezequiel, who is soo nice and made the work really enjoyable. Tasks included getting the horses from the pastures in the morning, feeding them, working them either on the lunge or under the saddle and fencing off new fields every couple of days. Occasionally there were task not related to horses such as assisting with the cattle or sowing the fields. Hacking out in the beautiful Ecuadorian countryside was a huge highlight. Working hours were usually from 7:30 am to 4pm with a lunch break.

Philipp, muchísimas gracias por tu ayuda. Tus reportes sobre cada caballo fueron espectaculares. Yo lamento mi problema de salud y que no pude viajar, aunque ahora ya estoy al 90%. Puedes regresar cuando tú quieras, eres bienvenido.

This experience was truly incredible both socially and culturally and in terms of the connection with animals and learning! We worked mainly with Ezequiel who is the most adorable person, always positive, full of resources and always ready to learn from those who know more than him! It was really a pleasure to work with him. For the rest of the people who work here it is rather similar, always extremely kind, attentive and available in case of problems! The place itself is already incredible but it is mainly thanks to the people who work there that it is also pleasant to stay there!
