I got what I came for, and I feel as though I contributed what was expected of me. I was not looking for a typical vacation. I wanted to go to a foreign country, speak the language, live like locals, eat local food, practice farming a bit, travel, and meet new people. Although it would have been fun to travel more while I was there that is not the reason why I chose to work here. Coming from America the conditions were not what I was used to, but that is what made the experience so valuable for me. It was a bit of a reset. The work is about three hours a day on average and not too hard.

Had an amazing first volunteering experience was nice to be surrounded by nature and learning about a different kind of environment. Fabian and Belen were brilliant ! They were understanding of my beginner Spanish and I was able to practice and improve my understanding with my stay here. Their hospitality was perfect , was a nice insight on local life and cuisine , perfect cultural immersion . Also very grateful for Manuel and Citlali for the opportunity to see the Butterfly migration unique to michoacan it really was unique . What an experience this has been , something I will never forget!

I spent a week with Fabian & Belen on their granja de truchas. The work varied each day - raking leaves, painting, cleaning house, sorting fish eggs, cleaning ponds. Belen cooked us two tasty meals around 11a and 4p each day; both she and Fabian were kind and patient with my intermediate Spanish. I was hoping for more cultural exchange, but the actual hosts have their own life to live and the WP hosts (Nemi & Manuel) are off-site. Don't expect an orientation and bring warm clothes and ready-to-eat food as the kitchen is very minimal. I struggled a bit, but happy to hear others have enjoyed!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers, and it couldn't have been better! Intense immersion in lush nature and a relaxed work routine that mainly involved feeding the trout and cleaning the tanks. Beyond that connection with the environment, I was able to dive into Mexican culture through Fabián and Belén's family, who prepared delicious meals and showed exceptional hospitality. I am immensely grateful to Manuel and his family for this amazing project and for opening their doors so volunteers can gain a close understanding of the importance of nature.

Manuel and his family manage various trout farms so most of the time will be spent with the family working on the farm. I had a great experience with Ariz and Alex taking care of the trout farm and the garden. Knowing Spanish helped a lot in my case. I would definitely come back!
