I loved the 2 weeks I spent at the Hacienda. The location is tranquil and stunning, with hills, woodland, and river. The local people and international travellers there became good friends. We laughed a lot and enjoyed Hacienda events in the music room, Pizza nights and even a costume party. I loved that I could spend time in the community but also find quiet places to read or be alone. I loved living around the dogs and still miss them Luis was a great host. The work was easy and enjoyable. The shower was hot and my bed was comfortable, Highly recommended!

My stay in the eco village was the best experience. It is so far the only volunteering in which I could meet that many people and create a real community. I had an amazing time there, combining the peaceful connection with nature with social gatherings, and sometimes parties! Luis is very flexible and patient, he is a chill host who loves to do karaoke 🤣 about the work, it's easy, sometimes physical but we didn't work a lot. I was doing various stuff, like taking care of the dogs, doing eco construction, daily tasks to maintain the place. Been there twice and can just recommend it!

I feel so lucky to have this experience in the hacienda. The property is beautiful and it's an amazing place to meet people from all over the world and live in a community. The people that attracts is so different from each other which I think it makes a very rich experience. The dogs are amazing and working and living with them is definitely a highlight. The work for me was in the mornings and was very simple (collecting wood, cactus, build a fance, taking care of the horses and dogs…) Luis is very easygoing, kind and generous and I highly recommend this work exchange!
