I had the best experience here. I was lucky enough to meet friendly volunteers and had a great time. The card games with Thomas every night were really fun. There are also many things to do here if you want. There are waterfalls and rivers that are especially good for swimming. Also, the most delicious mangoes in the world are grown here. Come and spend time with nature here.

We had an amazing time at the hacienda and felt welcomed by Thomas and the people staying. The nature is amazing and the work and working hours are fair. The work is also quite diverse and often interesting .Thomas showed us many natural spots on the weekends, where you can spend the free time. The facilities are perfectly fine, considering that the hacienda is in the jungle. Overall, we would recommend the hacienda for anybody looking to contribute to a growing community and a jungle getaway.

Staying at the Hacienda Matteo was an amazing adventure. The tasks were very diverse and interesting and after work there's multiple things to do. The place is beautiful and wild, with rivers, waterfalls and mango trees all around. I would definitely like to come back one day.

I loved my time at the farm:) It's in the middle of the jungle, everyday you have lots of free time to do activities like going to the river, hikes, visiting villages or playing cards with other volunteers. The work is sometimes hard but also fun and you can definitely learn a bunch of new skills. Thomas also puts in a lot of effort to make it a special experience for everyone and organises things like Pizza Nights and night jungle tours! Just don't get bit by a bullet ant if you can!😂 But I definitely would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to to just be in nature :) Thanks!

My stay by Thomas at the Hacienda was gorgeous. Everything was kept simple, of course, but it's the perfect place to get a bit of a jungle feeling :)
