    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We organize shared dinners with a "world food" theme and events with a "different regions of Mexico" theme. Living with us means eating traditional dishes, sharing music, passions, and stories. Our motivation is to exchange and create volunteer groups that develop ideas and spend quality time on the ranch (with activities, outings in town, hiking, and horseback riding when there's no audience).

    On weekends, we offer our clients activities:
    - hiking (with meditations, sometimes in the early morning), garbage collection, and the collection and distribution of clothing to villagers in need.
    - horseback riding for beginners and advanced riders.
    - homemade dishes.
    - enjoy all the nature near to the volcanoes

    During the week, we have to take care of the horses and have new projects to think about and organize, mobilizing people (for example, we have the idea of ​​setting up a space with a bar and a mechanical bull).

    Do you enjoy hosting social media?
    Have you already organized events?
    Do you know about First Aid?

    We need people with these skills, but we also welcome motivated volunteers who can offer their own skills (in communication, decoration, etc.) and who have ideas for new activities.

    If you enjoy socializing, chatting, learning, and sharing your time, join the team!
