We had a lot of fun at Shintuya the farm. The work was fair and always varied. the farm are very beautiful and we had many opportunities to enjoy then. Johan took us on lots of adventures when we were not working. We saw lots of animals, tried new fruits and got to go fishing a couple of times. Overall a very good experience and I would love to go back some day!

Is the best place for whoever wants an authentic experience with local people in the amazon forest. The lodges are basic but have all the things you need for your stay. In the property there is a super nice hotspring and near by they are waterfalls. My host Jhohan was always respectful, welcoming, had understanding, communicative and took the time to show me beautiful places near by. His family as well in the next village are super friendly and I had a super experience meeting and interacting with local people.

We spent an incredible month in the heart of the Amazon jungle with Johann and the people of the farm. No words to describe this unique experience that is just waiting to be lived. The work is very simple (cleaning the pool, preparing the lodges, managing the pool entrances, cooking etc). We spent most of our time bathing in the thermal baths and waterfalls, fishing, eating super good food, making campfires on the beach, exploring the jungle… No signal so total disconnection in the middle of nature in the wildest and probably most beautiful party of the Peruvian Amazon… Thank you Johann 🫶🏼

Mi estadía fue muy grata y me hizo apreciar la naturaleza desde otra perspectiva. Jhohan y su familia fueron muy amables conmigo y hospitalarios, agradezco que siempre resolvió mis curiosidades, me contó la historia del lugar y a realizar actividades que jamás había hecho, como pescar. Todo el largo recorrido valió la pena para llegar a la bella Shintuya 💚🌳🌴

Se ofrecen las tres comidas, incluidas en el pago. En general comí delicioso pero muchas veces me tocaba cocinar, asi que es importante saberlo y que te guste (es mi caso). El lugar es precioso pero si es muy aislado y solo hay internet y electricidad en casa de Jhohan. Tuve la suerte de tener una compañera de voluntariado, de no ser asi no sé si la habría pasado tan bien; en si tiempo libre Jhohan nos llevó a hacer tubbing, caminatas y a su chacra. Como mujer, diría que en ocasiones no me sentí muy cómoda debido a la cultura de los habitantes de Shintuya sin embargp agradezco la experiencia.
