My time at the eco village couldn't have been better! Maca and Bernardo are extraordinarily warm, welcoming hosts. Their kids are adorable, the other volunteers were wonderful people, and the finca is so beautiful. The feeling of community was so strong and composed of such a wonderful mix of ages, backgrounds, and nationalities. The food was delicious and accompanied by language and cultural exchange. It was so gratifying to see the finca develop after each day of work: painting doors and windows, building a dividing wall, clearing irrigation channels and building a furnace. Thank you!

Maca and Bernardo are such wonderful hosts, and people! My time at the eco village was so special, it was such a beautiful community and I felt so connected to nature. We shared great meals her, my spanish is limited but they made sure I felt included. I wasn't feeling very well during my stay and they were very flexible and understanding. We were helping to put together a second bedroom during my time there, which I was then able to stay in! The work can be tough but the people, energy and surroundings made it more like a therapeutic experience! Thank you Maca and Bernardo for everything :) x

My first worldpackers experience and I'm glad that I started there. Place is very nice and chill. Very close to beach. Tasks are basic and and very flexible. Bernardo and Macarena very friendly hosts and easy to communicate. We had weekly yoga and capoeira lessons. I had very good time with other volunteers and became good friends. Thank you for everything and kiss Tony(tosun) and Pedro for me.. Hope to meet again
