The Experience

This is a Permaculture principals based project in which we’re taking care of a secondary forest, five at level terraces where our edible forest is growing beautifully every day, using the principles of syntropic agroforestry. There are also vegetable gardens close to our home, as well as a green house, and a composting center. We're happy to share our lifestyle with a worldwide community, acting locally and having a global impact!

The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel part of the community. The whole farm is amazing. During my stay it was raining every afternoon, but still I had a great time getting to know the community and admiring the nature inside the farm. It was my first experience as an international volunteer and I think I made a great choice. I am very thankful for the experience we shared and all of the new knowledge I got. I you are looking for a place where you can learn a bit of many topics and meet new people this is your place.

Thank you so much Majito, we had a great time with you! It was exciting to share knowledge from another side of Latin America. :D All of the best in your agriculture learning path, and in your life in general!

A week at the project offers a perfect balance of structured routines, diverse work, personal freedom, and plenty of leisure time. The team welcomed me warmly, making me feel right at home. They even took us on an amazing trip to a hidden waterfall, which was unforgettable. I stayed for a month, but I'd love to return. I also loved learning about plant-based diets, improving my cooking skills and experimenting with fresh, local ingredients. One of my favorite things was exploring the old forest on the property—a peaceful and beautiful serene experience.

Wow. This was much more of a spiritual and metal learning experience to me than anything. Dani, Ana, and Jeff ( and Malcom although he just moved in at the end of my trip :) ) were such special souls, some of the most open, free flowing people I've ever met. I could go on and on about this place but if you're looking for a place to disconnect with outside sources and all the madness in the world, COME HERE! RAIN BOOTS WERE A MUST FOR ME!! I used them everyday for work it's more convenient than hiking boots because it's an indoor/ outdoor lifestyle.

I truly loved my stay at the project! Jeff, Dani, and Ana were very welcoming from the beginning and I felt very comfortable. They are passionate about what they do and I was very inspired. I wasn't sure how I would like the vegan diet as someone who eats everything, but it was not a problem for me at all. I learned so much about the environment and how to live sustainably with nature and couldn't have asked for a better team! It was such a wonderful experience and I will miss the peaceful slow lifestyle. Thank you Jeff, Dani, and Ana! Love you all❤️

Such a wonderful experience and met some truly incredible people, Dani, Jeff and Ana create such a loving atmosphere and it was such a privilege to wake up in this paradise everyday! The work is very varied as well, some days would be lifting and digging, others would be chopping bananas (there was a constant inundation of ripening bananas during my stay) it's a short walk to the nearest bus stop so there's plenty of options to spend your weekends. There was a group of students studying at the farm for two of the weeks, this was great fun and added variety! See you next year the project!!! Xx
