Las the project is such a beautiful place and a great experience to volunteer at. However, it was very hard work and there was a lot of down time. You're pretty secluded so don't expect to leave the farm much. The fresh fruits were amazing, the views were pretty, and you learn so much about different plants and permaculture. I fully recommend this experience to any one who is willing to work hard and get dirty. It is also a great way to take a break from society for a bit and spend some time in nature. Bring good shoes and long pants that you're okay with ruining!

Helping around in Las the project farm was truly a pleasure. Clint was very welcoming and patient teaching us about local plants, sustainable ways of growing food, how to take care of natural resources... Both him and his partner Andrea are super knowledgeable people as well as nice and generous. I feel so grateful for having met them & for what they have shared with me. I will for sure keep everything in mind and put more thought in how I take care of the land and all living creatures. Thank you so much! *and by the way, the house is super cozy and there is so much to explore around it!

What a experience. Staying and living at the project with Clint and Andrea was amazing. They both made me feel welcomed and respected from the moment i arrived and instantly incorporated me into all aspects of living there. Both very easy to talk to and helped me see myself deeper with honesty each and every interaction. Clint sets a very good example of following through on everything he does as well as being confident and sure of himself in the work he is doing, which helped me see that in myself and connect with that even stronger. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for growth

Living at the project for a month taught me many valueable skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. It was a challenging, yet fun, experience! Highly reccomend to those who want to step out of their comfort zones and be challenged by the reality of living sustainably in the jungle, as well as soak in the peace of being on a mountain top farm. I enjoyed spending time with Clint and Andrea, plenty of interesting conversation, delicious food, and fun adventures! I look forward to visiting again soon!
