My time is the project was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences in my life! I got the chance to learn so much about bioconstruction and permaculture and to work with lovely people. The accommodation was more than what was needed and very comfortable. The food was fresh and delicious and I got the chance to learn new recipes and have fun while cooking! Being so far removed from the town gave me a great sense of serenity and peacefulness. I can not recommend this farm to anyone enough for the chance to relax, learn and have fun!! Thank you all so much again ❤️

The host family is very welcoming and open. The parents both speak english and are happy to teach you some spanish as well. The place is very connected with nature, so you have to accept that sometimes there will be spiders and insects in your house (yes, we got a whole house for ourselves). We sometimes had to ask for work as the family didn't want to overwhelm us. You can definitely speak to the host about the tasks you do or would like to do during your stay.

I was able to connect with nature and learn a lot, especially about syntropic agriculture. It's a great place to meditate or unwind. They treated me very well and I never lacked anything.

The experience at proyeto was wonderful! Jane and Mauri are excellent hosts; they provided us with everything we needed for our stay. Delicious family-style food and the warmth of home. They also taught us a lot about life in nature, the importance of family, the abundance of the earth, and ecological awareness. We are very grateful for sharing these unforgettable days 🫂 Much gratitude to dear proyeto! 🌱💚✨

We had a beautiful experience at the project! The hospitality of Jane and Mauri was very kind and allowed us to have a relaxed stay with everything we needed. They are an incredibly brave and life-conscious family, we loved getting to know their vision, their way of living and participating for a few weeks in that. Without a doubt, there is a lot to learn volunteering with you, from what syntropy is to respectful parenting. An all-around experience! Thank you very much, Jane, Mauric and family!
