Mauro was a fantastic host and my first Worldpackers experience couldn’t have been better. The cabin was simple but comfortable with everything I needed, and the peaceful nights under the stars were beautiful. I loved spending time cooking and talking about food at the nearby retreat and also meeting the wonderful people there; it’s a really special place. The area is stunning and visiting the waterfall was a highlight. Mauro is great company and I enjoyed relaxing with him on the porch in the evenings. His dogs Felix and Luigi are adorable! I’d definitely recommend volunteering here ✨

It was such a cool stay with Mauro!! He showed me super cool spots around his house and teached some pretty good recipes:) The task were absolutely fine and not to much. It was a great time of sharing about our cultures and interests! Thx Mauro for this lovely time🫶

I had the most wonderful stay with Mauro. I spent two weeks and left feeling inspired & refreshed. Mauro is kind, welcoming, and a lot of fun to hang out with. As a solo volunteer, I felt comfortable right away. It was a rainy couple weeks so we spent lots of time inside cooking delicious meals together. The volunteer cabin is very cute and tucked away a bit, making it a peaceful place to rest. The work was varied and rewarding. We planted trees, prepared cuttings, cut wood for a new project, and organized the shed. I am very grateful for this experience 🥰 thank you so much!!

I had an amazing time with Mauro, can't recommend it enough! He is the best host, making you feel at home from the beginning, always good vibes and lots of laughing. He's taking really good care of his land and it was a pleasure to help him a bit on his daily tasks. The cabin you stay in is lovely and the food was so good, if you like to cook/eat it's a paradise. I left with a lot of inspiration and a new friend!

I stayed two weeks, the time flew, it was very fast, it is a great place, Mauro makes it even more pleasant, he is always attentive to each person, he cares about your health and comfort, if you need to rest, he is a great person. Regarding the place, everything is very nice, there is a lot of space, Felix and Luigi are two great dogs, the chores are easy to do, I really liked this place, I think I would come back, it is very quiet, at night you can see many stars, the sunset is like a movie, the sky is divided into 3 colours, there is privacy in the cabin. Mauro is the best!
