My experience was an unforgettable one. This place is special and unique in its own way and the experience is what you make it. This was a great space to dedicate time to a passion and have a project that is fulfilling to you while benefiting the growth of the community. The work was fair, and we still got plenty of free time to explore and experience bacalar! I have also made some of the most beautiful connections with people all around the world and mexico, I have learned so much spiritually as well. Thank you everyone for sharing your wisdom with me– I am grateful for this experience!

Living here was a profound experience and taught me a lot. I connected with beautiful souls, immersed in native traditions like temazcal and cacao ceremonies.Surrounded by inspiring nature and animals, with a refreshing cenote nearby. Maia and Daniel, who help run the place, are so devoted and inspire you to connect to your medicine. Living with a community has its ups and downs, the volunteer dorms are very simple - you might want to upgrade like we did. You'll have an enriching experience if you decide to come with an open heart, uphold your boundaries and are ready to learn from everything.

An experience that mirrors life, with ups and downs that encourages personal growth. This place becomes your home and the community your family. The more you give, the more you get. It's more than a 4-hour job; It's about building the community while respecting your own boundaries. Bring a project idea - it gave me purpose. This place taught me strength, balance, and resourcefulness. If you're seeking an easy bed and a free meal in paradise, look elsewhere. It's about contributing and growing with an open heart in a community working to build a conscious future. Have fun, be a niño, love!

It was here that I got to warp up a 6 month travel, and I couldn't have had a better experience to close this journey. I was hosted alongside my girlfriend here with this beautiful people, the hole family is amazing! Maia and Daniel are coordinating things and they have huge hearts and flexibility to adapt. Tuli, Soco and Eres are the abuelidas de la casa, whom are bringing the community spirit, medicine and holding the space. The objectives are beautiful and these people are building towards them, alongside with beautiful medicine weekly! This is a must for anyone whom loves community forest.

So my expirience was a bit different than expected. I was supposed to work on reception, but there were no guests at the time, therefor i just helped wherever needed. Thats why i left earlier then agreed. You work for 4h in the morning and after that you get lunch. As far as i know there are twice a week temazcal and cacao ceremonies and as a volunteer you have the option to help additional 2 hours or just pay to attend them.
