I had a great 2 weeks at the farm! Thomas was super welcoming, knowledgable and friendly. We got to work on a huge range of tasks, like planting coconut trees, learning to weave palm leaves from the neighbours in the community and learning how to build and repair sustainably. the farm is comfortable place to stay and we really had a lot of freedom and flexibility. Highly recommend :)

Thomas is a great host with nice energy. Haciendo the farm is a very beautiful place with its rivers and some mountain views. The work was not overwhelming but hard at times beacuse of the heat and humidity. Living quarters had everything you could need. I really enjoyed my time there and would go back.

I had a great time at haciendo the farm! The work is varied and stays interesting- I helped construct a roof from palm leaves, make coconut oil, and garden. Multiple small communities are accessible by walk from the property, and the neighbors are friendly, so it was a great place to practice Spanish. The sounds of the jungle were really beautiful. The food was healthy, but we did have to make a fire every time we cooked, so be prepared to spend a lot of your day cooking. The host was receptive and communicative. Thomas- thank you for everything! Feel free to reach out with any questions :)

It was an amazing experience on the jungle with Thomas, I learned about building live in the jungle, plants, trees, planting, and how to build with the materials of you surrounding. I also learned more about health food and exersicing from Thomas and he helped me with my own project. I wanted to build a forge and make my own knife from scratch metal, which he helped me make. Thomas is a guy with interesting opinions but lets everybody in there own values. Het provides everything needed and also does some fun activities like pizza and sushi night, bonfire friday and walks to the waterfall.

The place has a lot of Projects that you can help with. My tasks were chopping and stripping wood chopping coconuts and helping making the oil, cleaning work areas, harvesting bananas andbuilding stuff with concrete and wood.For food he will provide about everything you ask him to get and then you're able to cook whatever you want with it on a fire place. The area was absolutely beautiful with Jungle hill views, rivers, waterfalls and farms and their animals and lovely people. Thomas knows a lot about food and about living in the jungle and funny. I had an amazing time there and learnt a lot!
