My time is the project was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences in my life! I got the chance to learn so much about bioconstruction and permaculture and to work with lovely people. The accommodation was more than what was needed and very comfortable. The food was fresh and delicious and I got the chance to learn new recipes and have fun while cooking! Being so far removed from the town gave me a great sense of serenity and peacefulness. I can not recommend this farm to anyone enough for the chance to relax, learn and have fun!! Thank you all so much again ❤️

The host family is very welcoming and open. The parents both speak english and are happy to teach you some spanish as well. The place is very connected with nature, so you have to accept that sometimes there will be spiders and insects in your house (yes, we got a whole house for ourselves). We sometimes had to ask for work as the family didn't want to overwhelm us. You can definitely speak to the host about the tasks you do or would like to do during your stay.

I was able to connect with nature and learn a lot, especially about syntropic agriculture. It's a great place to meditate or unwind. They treated me very well and I never lacked anything.

The experience at proyeto was wonderful! Jane and Mauri are excellent hosts; they provided us with everything we needed for our stay. Delicious family-style food and the warmth of home. They also taught us a lot about life in nature, the importance of family, the abundance of the earth, and ecological awareness. We are very grateful for sharing these unforgettable days 🫂 Much gratitude to dear proyeto! 🌱💚✨

We had a beautiful experience at the project! The hospitality of Jane and Mauri was very kind and allowed us to have a relaxed stay with everything we needed. They are an incredibly brave and life-conscious family, we loved getting to know their vision, their way of living and participating for a few weeks in that. Without a doubt, there is a lot to learn volunteering with you, from what syntropy is to respectful parenting. An all-around experience! Thank you very much, Jane, Mauric and family!

Mauricio and his partner have a lovely family. Even the youngest child in this family has wisdom about nature, a variety of plants and trees, and their care. I thank you for sharing it. They fulfilled the working hours and were patient with me as a beginner. I left earlier than I expected because of the cold. Apart from them, the place is very lonely and remote. Fortunately there was a family friend also volunteering, who was very collaborative. For those who enjoy time alone and nature, it is ideal. I learned many things :)

My experience at the project was very special. The food was excellent and plentiful, and the learning was truly transformative. Mauri, his family and the visitors were extremely welcoming, making me feel at home. The work is easy and with flexible hours. I am very grateful for everything I experienced and I carry these lessons with me. I would return and recommend it to everyone.

O Maurício is a very helpful and good-humored guy, always willing to teach us with clarity and patience. Jannen is communicative and proactive, always showing concern for our well-being. The children are adorable and friendly. The place is beautiful, with plenty of space to stroll and places to explore. The work is easygoing and the hours are flexible.

Excellent experience!!! 10 out of 10!
Nothing to add or comment on since they were great hosts and the guests were also very kind!
Undoubtedly they showed great empathy and solidarity with me from the very first moment, so I thank them for that :)

I thought I would learn everything about land treatment, but I understood that before learning syntropy, my inner self needed changes. No, no one prevented me from going to the land, but the energy of the project transformed me in a way I didn't know I needed. The environment without social change is just gardening, and I understood that there was much to be transformed, and I am glad I did it here. It was more than volunteering; it was an experience I will never forget, a transformative experience, and I am grateful to Maurício, Yanne and everyone I had the privilege of meeting.
