I spent three incredible weeks at Frank's place, in a magical setting surrounded by nature where you truly reconnect with what's essential. Frank is a caring, open, and energetic person. Between permaculture gardening, eco-construction, chocolate making, and spending time with his family, everything was enriching. I loved the simple life: a crackling fire, spring water, and nature all around. The excursions, like the one to Abiseo National Park, were unforgettable. This experience broadened my horizons and inspired me to continue exploring. Thank you so much, Frank!

I'm struggling to write this because no words can explain. Things like this are once in a lifetime! I visited the project Pérgola in May and I still think about my visit every day and I miss it deeply. I have so much love and gratitude for Frank and Cesar (Frank's uncle). Dancing, laughing, and connecting with them was effortless. Similarly, being surrounded and supported by lush forest was healing for my body and mind. I will cherish my unbelievable time at the project Pérgola forever... my second home. Sending big hugs to Frank, Cesar, and my fellow volunteers who grew to be my dear friends <3

I absolutely loved my time at the project! Frank was so welcoming, informative, and such an incredible person. I learnt so much about living in tune with nature, making fire, building, and many more valuable lessons. This place will always have a special place in my heart and I cannot recommend it enough 💚

The place is paradise! With a dog, cats, chickens, learning how to grow plants in the jungle and to build with materials of the area.
Frank and his family treated me as one of their own, happy to help, very lovely and warm. Daily tasks are like feeding the animals, getting water, maintaining the structures, cooking on fire (super fun!), collecting wood, fertilize and water the plants. In the spare time you can play volleyball, go to the hill's top for the sunset, hike around the area, to some peaks and waterfalls, make chocolate and learn to cook local dishes.
Super enriching experience!!!

Where to staaaart! I spent a month at the project with Frank, his family, and fellow volunteers, and the experience I had there was life changing. Living in the raw, rustic jungle, you truly connect with local nature. Things take time there, you have to appreciate the process of things. It makes everything so much more valuable. Frank is kind and always very open to learning and teaching. Time with him, his uncle Cesar (king of the jungle), his dad Javier (call him Tupac for me please), his mom, and grandma was a blessing. Their time and heart made this month unforgettable. Chabalogracias <3
