I enjoyed getting to help on the farm. Liliana and the kids were also very nice.

Spending 8 days on Carlos' eco farm in Lulongo was an unforgettable and rewarding experience. Everything was well organized, and I learned a lot about eco farming through hands-on work like planting, harvesting, building, and animal care. I loved contributing to projects like the duck pond and chicken coop. The lush, the home farm and its recycling ideas were inspiring. The family was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt at home right away. Delicious meals from farm produce were a highlight. I left with lots of inspiration β€” highly recommended!

It was a very pleasant experience sharing and learning about Carlos's family life. Everyone was very kind and attentive. I wish I could have stayed longer to help with the rabbit project.

My experience here was nothing but wonderful. I immediately felt welcomed by the family and shared so many great memories. The work I did was very insightful and learned so much. The nature and people here are absolutely amazing. Everyone in the family cared so much for me I couldn't recommend them enough.
