We really enjoyed this experience! We were 16 volunteers and a small community was created that worked very well. The tasks were varied and we had the freedom to choose what we wanted to do (from construction, to planting and cloning trees, to cleaning and cooking). There was a lot of variety of food and in good quantities! In our free moments we could go to the river (5 minutes walk), take tours in the jungle, go to Huapo (local community) and much more...

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was warmly welcomed by Thomas (and Zeus 🐶) who I both got along with very well. During the time Thomas has spent in the jungle, he has constructed something pretty incredible; both the hostel & several other projects, but also the vibe which comes with staying at the farm. The contract is followed rigidly, and Thomas never expects anything more than you agreed on. We also usually went down to the river to cool off after a very warm day! 5 ⭐️ Thank you, Thomas 💪

My time at the farm was incredible, I really enjoyed my time there as I got to be surrounded by amazing travelers and friends who became a family to me!! Thomas is such an amazing guy and very chill, the work varies from day to day and the whole time he tried to give us a lot of useful techniques for better work! The place is wonderful & is amazing to be in the jungle. Huapo is such a beautiful place and I really really recommend coming here if you feel the call. Thank you again for everything, I take beautiful memories from my time there and such amazing souls I met along the way!
