Staying at the host was one of my best experiences ever. I am so happy to have had the chance to help out in this beautiful garden and the work was so fun and rewarding. Alfred is such a kind and easy going person and I would recommend anyone who has a true appreciation for nature and peace, to visit and help maintain this amazing place in its best shape.

I cant say enough about how much I loved this experience, Alfred the host is so kind and knowledgeable, his daughter is the sweetest and his jungle property is beautiful. The other travelers I met were so fun, we shared a lot of great deep conversation and trips to cenotes, tulum centro, ruins, musems, etc. It felt like saying goodbye to family. This spot is perfect for people who want to learn about Mayan history, get in touch with nature and sustainable living, practice Spanish, and explore the tranquil local city and/or Tulum. Thank you for a one of kind experience, hope to be back soon! ❤️

Alfred's community was one I will never forget! He does an amazing job of making you feel welcomed and cared for. It was an amazing experience to get to know him, and everyone else that stayed there during my time. He showed us around the town, took us to cool places and taught us about history, culture, and important societal issues. the space that this community holds is one of great value and opens lots of opportunities for creativity and growth.I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get in touch with nature, learn about sustainable living, access creativity, and have fun!

Sí quieres conectar realmente con la Naturaleza este lugar es ideal, solo te recomiendo mucho repelente por si tu sangre es dulce o eres propensx a picaduras, en mi caso no use y no estuvo tan mal, lo ideal sería ir en Pareja y aprovechar que Alfred es de los únicos anfitriones que aceptan a 2 a la vez así se acompañan, se cocinan da dos etc. por si surge algún inconveniente es mejor siempre en este tipo de lugares estar acompañado ya que estás en un simil campamento volante, baño compost, ducha al aire libre y muchas muchas plantas y así te gusta la jardinería, la carpintería, pájaros 👍👍
