The lodge was a total letdown. False advertising, unaccommodating hosts, zero communication, and the accommodation was nothing like the pictures. To top it off, there was a rat infestation that the host were aware of and let us sleep in. Lili and Ricardo made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We ended up leaving on our 5th day, which they responded, 'we didn't fit in and didn't connect with the nature' - but all the task they gave us included cleaning and moving bricks - NONE of this included nature. DO NOT APPLY HERE.

My time at the farm in the missionary jungle was beautiful. Ricardo and Lili welcomed us with love; they are ultra relaxed and were always attentive to making sure we were comfortable. Jair, the man who works there, was a great companion. He is a very good person with a lot of serenity. If you really want to connect with nature and the jungle, this is the ideal place. The tasks are in line with what is needed to move forward with the renovation of the cabins and with what one can contribute by following the pace and timing that nature sets. No doubt I recommend it and I would return. I wish the best to that beautiful family.

It's a place in the middle of nature; if you like it, you're going to have a great time. Ricardo and Lili are very good people, they welcomed us really well. Both of them and their children are lovely; it was our first volunteering experience and it was very rewarding.
One thing though: if you come alone, there's nothing around for miles, it would be a challenge, but I'll tell you, if you want to disconnect, it's the ideal place.

With Ricardo I got along well from the first moment. We had nice conversations. He is a person with a lot of knowledge. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the entire agreed time. The landscape is incredible!! The cabin where I stayed isn't completely habitable, in my opinion. A few things still need to be finished, as well as cleaning/maintenance. The place is in the middle of the mountains, very far from the city and about 5 km from anywhere you can buy something.

It was a pity that we couldn't stay longer to get to know the place better. Good luck.

The place is beautiful. Ricardo and Lili are amazing people. Now they are fixing up the cabins, and they still have some work to do. An excellent place to come if you like connecting with nature and unplugging a bit.
