My experience at the project has been nothing but extraordinary—I 100% recommend this experience to other travellers who are afforded the same opportunity! I'm actually staying an additional 2+ weeks past my initial plan. Everything here, from the delicious vegan food, the quaint community buildings (like the caracola and the main house), the blooming wildlife, and the fantastic residents and volunteers I have come to know have made my experience absolutely amazing! The work is very rewarding and there's always something new to get up to each day. Many thanks to the project family

This place was my first time volunteering and was the perfect place to start. I learned so much about permaculture and enjoyed the company of the permanent residents as well as the other volunteers. There was plenty of work to do but things were never difficult so getting to da variety of tasks helped me understand how this place functions as an entire system. I did a day trip to some hot springs with Nikki and some other volunteers which was amazing. She took great care of us!

Volunteering at the project was my first, and at the same time the most beautiful volunteering traveling experience I could have imagined. Welcomed by the hosts who are each a wonderful person full of amazing life experience and knowledge, I was immersed in the community life with other unique volunteers from all over the world. Enjoyed every working day, working with land, soil, plants, helping maintain the authentic buildings which are a work of art, while in the free time learning to dance, cook, play the guitar, draw, and whatever the other volunteers or hosts are willing to share

The project is a really special place. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome. All the community members are open and friendly. They support you whenever they can. My tasks were very varied and I learned plenty of different things during my stay. The specified working hours are always adhered to, so that you have enough time to explore the area and the surrounding cities. I enjoyed every day in the community and would definitely recommend it. I really hope to come back one day!

Thank you to everybody at the project, my stay there was so amazing. Socialising with other volunteers, having nearly all the meals together, working and learning in the field, practicing Spanish (and English) - basically just a perfect volunteering place for a first timer like me!! Oh and of course the permanent family, what a joyful, harmonic, intelligent and funny group of people they are😊

The project is as much a family as any temporary stay is able to offer. From day 1 the permanent residents seem to embrace you with love and respect. After 3 weeks at the project I decided to stay for the full month. I could not get enough of the warmth, the space to develop oneself, the food/postres and the volcanic surroundings with beautiful hikes. At the project you quickly seem to earn the responsibility you deserve, and are very much a valued and useful part of the work team. There is so much enjoyable work to be done! I particularly enjoyed the bioconstruction. So fulfilling 😍.

Jaimy was a delight to have at home! He was always up to something: the adobe walls on the new building, baking bread for hours and hours, sharing his culinary skills! His kindness, respect and love will be missed.

I had a wonderful experience at the project. They have a well established volunteer program, so I think it is a great choice (at any time during your work exchange life), but especially for those who have never done a work exchange. Everyone is treated with love and respect, and they are so welcoming to all. They are also flexible and understanding.
