My time at the guest house was a truly incredible experience. For my first volunteer position I did not know what quite to expect but this placement has given me a lot of confidence to volunteer in the future. I want to highlight above all else just how incredible the people at Finca are. I had minimal experience with the Spanish language, but everybody was so patient while I struggled to explain what I wanted to say! I will miss the friends I made - we had a lot of fun, and hope to go back one day!

Working at the Finca was truly a really great experience. If you are really into living in the jungle and learning how to problem solve around power outages then this is perfect. It really felt like a home away from home. One tip I would say is to use google translate if you don't know Spanish or try to learn a bit before hand because almost all the staff just speak Spanish. The food they provide to cook with was always fresh and I never felt nervous to ask for a favor or ask about the culture in Guatemala. I will truly miss all the staff at finca they were wonderful.

I couldn't have asked for more! The finca is a magical place, totally surrounded by nature. I had my own cabin and you can choose from the food they have and cook yourself whatever you want. The hours where a little different from what they said on Worldpackers. In total I was working 36h a week, but I didn't mind at all because I loved the work environment and the people I was working with. I got to improve my Spanish a lot, because not many people speak English. They are really nice and are patient with you if your Spanish is not that good yet. I definitely recommend the Finca!

This experience is very different to what is described on here. 36hrs per week not 30, 1 day off not 2. 3 meals a day is really access to the kitchen and use of SOME things there. We found a note asking us not to eat the apples after we had one. There are rules like only 1 avacado per week etc. Room was the smallest on the property, 2 single beds & when the lower bed was out it filled the floor space & door couldn't open so getting out for toilet etc was a struggle. Not a fair exchange. When we voiced our concerns Maria said she would speak to us again, but disappeared for days instead👎

The Finca is a great place to be, The people are very nice even with the language barrier. They do everything possible to make you feel at home, they are very helpful with everything. If like me you don't like to cook, you should mention this before signing up :)

What an amazing time I had here at the Finca ,from the moment I saw the place on internet I knew I could not go wrong in applying to volunteer here. As always I gave my 100% in working to what was agreeded upon and they would always let me know how much they appreciated it. Owner can get stressed out sometimes as anyone knows if you are an owner, but believe me she has a great heart . The staff always were laughing which complimented the endless birds sounds you hear on the property. My private accommodation was just perfect for me. All in all loved it ,not to mention the great dog s Yes

Una excelente experiencia.. la gente que trabaja en la finca es muy amable y atenta, el pan de la panadería es delicioso!!!! Y toda la comida que preparan también pero el pan es lo más... mucha naturaleza, animales, árboles y muy lindos caballos, el lugar es muy cómodo y tranquilo. Totalmente recomendable.

Estuve en la casa por dos meses en el área de marketing y fotografía, fué una muy buena experiencia, pude desarrollar mis habilidades y conocer tanto locales como viajeros de todo el mundo. La cabaña que me tocó era cómoda pero no servía la regadera y solo había internet en el restaurante. Tuve un accidente y pase más de una semana en muletas, los trabajadores de la finca se portaron excelente conmigo, me hicieron de comer, me llevaron al hospital y me hicieron compañía. El trabajo es razonable y los horarios flexibles. Ideal para personas proactivas sin miedo a la naturaleza.

La casa es un gran lugar y la gente aún mejor, todos siempre dispuestos a ayudar y pendientes. El lugar para dormir es muy acogedor. La comida es rica pero debe prepararla uno mismo y hay restricciones sobre algunos alimentos. Hice el voluntariado con mi hijo y los demás trabajadores fueron muy atentos con él. María y Carole son muy buenas anfitrionas, súper recomendado

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
