The Experience

Here at the hacienda we have unmatched natural beauty. The only downside is that we don't even know or have the time to take photos and upload them to social media! If you enjoy taking photos, videos, and you have a good eye for Digital Marketing, then we'd love to have you! Your day would be spent taking, editing, and uploading photos and videos to social media. I don't think it would take you long.

I had a truly lovely time at the Hacienda. It is a gorgeous place that allows you to unwind and move through the days slowly and intentionally.
The volunteer work was a nice mix of tasks, and there's always something to do or help with as long as you take the initiative. I also loved learning about equine therapy, and experiencing the calming presence of the animals on the property.
Massive thank you to Yoshi who went out of his way on many occasions, such as picking me up and dropping me off, and taking the time to get to know myself and the other volunteers. And to Lisa & Norbert! :)

We had a great stay at the Hacienda! Yoshi was a great host who always made sure we had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Would recommend going as a couple or with a friend as you'll be spending time on your own. Also WiFi is not available outside the reception area so make sure to buy data or bring lots of books! :) overall really happy with my stay

Yoshi was a great host, communicative, friendly and welcoming. He made sure we had everything and helped out when we needed. The staff was really nice as well and it was great chatting with them and have a cultural exchange. They were just as helpful! We would recommend to go with a friend or a partner hence this position requires you to be very independent and you will have to spend a lot of time on your own. Wifi is also only available in the reception so make sure you either buy a Mexican SIM card or bring lots of books! In conclusion, we had a great time and would love to come back.

Thanks for your comments Petronella :) It was a pleasure having you and Felicia at the Hacienda. If you ever visit Mexico and you want to get away from the city you are more than welcome to come visit us again.

The hacienda is full of things to do. This was our first work away, so we did not know what to expect. Joshy's philosophy is to find something to do or ask and take initiative. It works out really great. Joshy is a great host. It's super fun to be around and always willing to make you feel comfortable with what you are doing. They have a beautiful pool, green areas, a soccer field, and a basketball court. (We had a lot of fun playing card games at night, doing a bun fire, and playing soccer with the locals) Like I said, there is a lot to do. Oh, and the staff were great to talk and chill with
