This is a great experience for a genuine farming experience inside the city of Santo Domingo. The host provides a safe apartment, which will feel like being in the middle of the rainforest. The work is straight forward and this is a great opportunity for those looking to learn about sustainable agriculture and agroforestry. There will be plenty of opporunity to meet locals and visit local sites. Santo Domingo is not on everyone's route in travelling Ecuador, but it should be. And if you come to Santo Domingo, the farm is the best place to stay.

Victor is a very active, hardworking, talkative and warm person. During our volunteering we were able to try new things (like mowing with a brush cutter) or taking care of the cocoa trees. Victor and I had a small communication barrier (I only know a poquito Spanish and Victor knows a poquito English). So take a friend that knows Spanish, like I did 😄 The program for the day was very flexible - Sometimes we would start late or work a little more than four hours. It was okey but it got difficult when we had lunch or dinner very late. Overall it was a very good experience :)

Babet! Es organizada, disciplinada, amable, servicial, sensible, adorable, alegre, divertida, buena energía y siempre con una linda sonrisa. Respeta las reglas y la convivencia. Está dispuesta a aprender algo nuevo, salir de su zona de confort. Agradezco la oportunidad de conocer un ser humano muy especial y por compartir un momento nuestras vidas y experiencias. Agradezco tu granito de arena; sobre todo la ayuda más importante es la actitud y la alegria el calor humano que me transmitió. Recomi

Una lección de vida increíble! No solo aprendí sobre el cultivo de cacao y achiote, sino que disfruté del río y paseos por la bonita ciudad, comí de lo lindo con la gastronomía local y conecté con las costumbres de su gente. Las terapias alternativas terminaron de renovar mi energía. Víctor el anfitrión es de diez y te hace sentir como en casa desde el primer día. Si quieres vivir una aventura completa, aprender y sanar por dentro, me encantará volver. Ánimo al que lea el comentario a formar parte de la experiencia!

He experiencado todo el proceso, desde la fruta del árbol hasta hacer el chocolate todo a mano, con métodos artesanales. Casi todo la comida viene del campo. Víctor es muy amable y me ha enseñado todo lo que él conoce. También hemos mejorado la habitación de los voluntarios con una maja para evitar que los mosquitos entren. Es una habitación privada que está compartida entre los voluntarios. Hay 2 camas y un baño privado. Nunca pensé que esa voluntaria sería tan valiosa. Nunca voy a olvidarla. Si quieres una experiencia auténtica, venga!
