I only stayed a week, but my time went by so fast. If we weren't working we could explore, chill, hang out. As a parttimer there was a lot of flexibility. I really enjoyed my time because of that, the dogs, the community life. Luis has created an amazing space at the hacienda for the dogs and for anyone who wants to volunteer. Yes it is more basic than some other places, but you have everything you need and more. Would recommend!

Well, over the past two months I learned so much, and it was definitely a crazy but incredible experience. I improved my English and Spanish while working hard and enjoying the company of the animals, especially Queenie❤️.
I was a little introverted, but Luis and Mini always made me feel comfortable asking questions, asking for help, or even just a small favor. I’ll always be grateful to them and to all the volunteers I had the chance to meet during this time.
I’m definitely going to miss this place so much. I’ll keep these memories close to my heart. Thank you for everything 🥰

The eco village is an amazing place with absolutely gorgeous views between the mountains and forests. Perfect if you're looking to live outside of the city for a while, make food on real fire and form lovely connections with the dogs and travellers all over the world. We were taken care of and made sure we're having fun as well. I'm forever grateful to have lived this experience!

I had a great time at the Hacienda. The work was reasonable, and the hours were flexible.

Through this experience, I met fascinating people from different parts of the world. I got to work and play with the dogs, work with clay, cook for 20-plus people, chop wood, and do other hands-on tasks.

I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a communal living experience.

Thank you, Luis!

Really lovely experience at the Hacienda for two weeks, the schedule was flexible and manageable and everyone here was very nice. It's a rustic farm with lots of nature nearby, so a good chance to live minimalist. The dogs are very sweet as well!
