The eco village is the perfect place to learn more about contributing to a sustainable world. Rachel is a great host and really cares about the project she is working on and getting people involved. At the end of the week possible tasks are discussed and you can choose your days off. Rachel will also ask you about your interests and skills, to find suitable tasks. After work hours she will tell you about her motivation and journey of starting this project. We also went out a couple of times to go to the beach or getting diner. I loved my stay here and will definitely be back, thanks Rachel!🫶🏼

The eco village is the perfect place if want to relax and take life slower. Work hours are only 3 a day (with two days off per week), so you have the rest of the day all free to yourself, to visit around or just enjoy the pool and the lounge in the ecoproject. Rachel is very welcoming and always tries to assign the job that suits you best. She may seem a little harsh at first, but it doesn't take much to notice the care and passion she puts into the project and into making everyone feel at home. the eco village really felt like a family, everyone taking care of each other, and I hope to come back :)

Very nice constructive experience. Verde Vera is a place where you can be completely in contact with nature and learn a lot about sustainability and ecology. working hours are very short and tasks are simple. I had a great time with all the volunteers and the guests of the campsite. most of the day takes place outdoors. the eco pool is great for relaxing and swimming. Reachel is always available and nice, I will definitely come back.

I really enjoyed my time at the eco village! Rachel is a great host who makes sure volunteers have evrything they need. Work hours are very chill and flexible. You have a lot of freedom to arrange your day as you please. The facilities at the eco village are also great (showers, kitchen, pool). I had a great time and would recommend! Thank you Rachel 🌱❣️

My experience in the eco village was really amazing. Rachel is a wonderful host in every way. We had a great time together and even better conversations. I had an awesome time with her and with the other volunteers. This place is an eco-paradise. Quiet and peaceful but nearby a little town and not far from the beach. There is plenty work to do, and the tasks are satisfying. Rachel is flexible and let you choose what you want to do. I really want to come back someday. Rachel thank you for everything, every lesson that I have learned, every conversation and all the 'crap'-tours we have done😂. ❤️
