Hacienda Colonial Murillo

In 5 years of work with volunteers i transform the Colonial farm from my grandfather in a little paradise. What you can find today is a big community of volunteers ( an average of 15) living in a comfortable, clean and beautiful place. In addition, we have 12 dogs rescued from the streets that live with us and 2 horses, so if you love animals, nature and want to meet people from around the world, this is your place!
The work is varied, im open to all kind of artistic projects and new eco building. Above all, there is a project that I have been postponing for lack of time and money, a project that for me is even more important than the restoration of the house: build a shelter for abandoned dogs. I can not keep seeing so many dogs suffering in the streets, it's something that breaks my heart continuously and frustrates me not being able to do anything.

My name is Luis, I am twenty six years old and three years ago I moved to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to start this new and wonderful adventure: to save from the ruins a very big and very old family property that was abandoned for more than twelve years ( since the death of my grandfather) and turn it into an incredibly beautiful place, into a little paradise on Earth. Save this house from the ruins means a lot to me, because I have a beautiful family and I have always felt that I owe a debt to all of them, because despite my madness, excesses and adolescent rebelliousness, all of them have always trusted me, they have had me as the "spoiled child" of the family and they have given me more love than I have deserved ... so for me this is the perfect way to give back so much love and trust. Also, this house was always in my heart, it is a place where I was very happy during my childhood and from which I keep many beautiful memories.

Me and my partner spent a month working/staying at the hacienda and it was one of the best experiences I've had. The owner Luis was so lovely and friendly and made us feel so welcoming, it felt like home. Waking up every morning to 20 dogs was the best thing ever. The work was fun and challenging, I learned a lot of new skills during my time there. I loved getting stuck In and meeting new people from all over the world. I loved every minute of it and already planning our trip back. I couldn't recommend hacienda enough. Best month ever.

Hacienda Murillo was exactly what I needed after travelling non stop for 5 months. Luis and all the other volunteers were incredibly welcoming and the community vibes were cemented by all cooking and cleaning for one another.
The work was physical, in a feels good to get your hands dirty way. Waking up on working days you’d know you’d be working together with other volunteers for really practical jobs like clearing channels for our shower water, chopping wood, and building walls for a new shelter.
The two weeks I spent there will no doubt be one of my favourite memories of my trip.

We were meant to be staying with Louis for only 2 weeks and ended up staying for a month because we loved it so much!

Lois was the best host, friendly and helpful. He took the time to get to know us and makes us feel comfortable. The work was very enjoyable and flexible.

We fell in love with all the dogs, make sure you take the time to get to know them all and you will have some friends for life.

It was very sad leaving the dogs and Lois, but we have already planned to come back and visit before we leave South America.

Thank you Lois for looking after us!
