This is a great experience for a genuine farming experience inside the city of Santo Domingo. The host provides a safe apartment, which will feel like being in the middle of the rainforest. The work is straight forward and this is a great opportunity for those looking to learn about sustainable agriculture and agroforestry. There will be plenty of opporunity to meet locals and visit local sites. Santo Domingo is not on everyone's route in travelling Ecuador, but it should be. And if you come to Santo Domingo, the farm is the best place to stay.

Victor is a very active, hardworking, talkative and warm person. During our volunteering we were able to try new things (like mowing with a brush cutter) or taking care of the cocoa trees. Victor and I had a small communication barrier (I only know a poquito Spanish and Victor knows a poquito English). So take a friend that knows Spanish, like I did 😄 The program for the day was very flexible - Sometimes we would start late or work a little more than four hours. It was okey but it got difficult when we had lunch or dinner very late. Overall it was a very good experience :)

Babet! She is organized, disciplined, kind, helpful, sensitive, adorable, cheerful, fun, with good energy and always with a lovely smile. She respects the rules and the harmony of living together. She is willing to learn something new, to step out of her comfort zone. I appreciate the opportunity to meet a very special human being and to share a moment of our lives and experiences. I appreciate your small contribution; above all, the most important help is the attitude and the joy, the warmth of the human contact that she transmitted to me. Recomi

Excellent experience with Clara! She is a person with exceptional human values. I highlight her honesty, her respect for others, and her commitment. Her presence brings a lot of calm and order thanks to her strong principles. I would highly recommend her to any traveler community or hosts.

An incredible life lesson! Not only did I learn about cacao and achiote cultivation, but I also enjoyed the river and strolls through the beautiful town, ate very well with the local cuisine, and connected with the customs of its people. The alternative therapies renewed my energy. Víctor, the host, is outstanding and makes you feel at home from day one. If you want to live a complete adventure, learn and heal from within, I would love to return. Take heart, anyone reading this—come be part of the experience!

I have experienced the whole process, from the fruit on the tree to making the chocolate by hand, with artisanal methods. Almost all the food comes from the field.
Víctor is very kind and has taught me everything he knows.
We have also improved the volunteers' room with a mesh screen to keep mosquitoes out. It is a private room shared among the volunteers. There are two beds and a private bathroom.
I never thought that that volunteer would be so valuable. I will never forget her. If you want an authentic experience, come!
