It is a really funny and fancy farm where we can learn various things. It is located in a quiet place and we can rest peacefully inside the farm. Moreover Kalvin is a very funny dog to play with along the day haha Thanks for sharing your knowledge Allan

Thank you, and it was clarified why you didn't come to say goodbye; you thought I was too busy talking, and while that's true, I would have said goodbye to you as I always do with everyone. Best regards and good luck on your trip.

Very nice host. Work is pretty fun and flexible with what you want to do and what has to be done. The accommodation is very basic but has everything you need. Food is also just the basics so sometimes a trip to the grocery story isn't a bad idea. Overall really would recommend this place!

I Had a lovely time in the project! The host is very friendly and knows what he's doing and talking about, learned a lot about Uruguays culture, along with a self-sustainable life style. The place is gorgeous to walk around and the dogs WILL make you fall in love with them!! Lovely couple cuddly cats as well. Shout out to my mate Umut, who helped me figure out the daily activities and how to get in to/ from town (not difficult) etc etc. You're a legend buddy!! If you like cooking, you're in for a treat with all the glorious vegetables, herbs and leaves growing in the gardens. Cheers!

Allan is a wonderful host. Although he wasn't around too much I had a lovely time at the project and really connected with the other volunteers. It's a great way to get to know the surroundings of Montevideo as well as learning about life on a permaculture farm. I learned a lot about gardening and construction and acquired a lot of skills during the two weeks of my stay.
