Description
Accepting last minute volunteers!
Our place is located 14 kilometers from Oaxaca, Mexico. We work with plants and various animals such as crocodiles, monkeys, dogs, rabbits, chickens, horses and others. It is a farm that rescues animals that are mistreated or cannot live in their natural environment.
The most important job is to take care of the animals and feed them. We also have construction work on fences and rooms for the new animals.
Here, they can find a quiet place, rooms and beds to sleep, water, electricity, gas and basic food such as rice and beans. It is also possible to put hammocks.
Here you can:
- Working with animals
- Carry out or resume projects
- Take care of the garden and plantations.
Sometimes we receive visits from schools to the farm and we organize workshops to raise awareness about disability and animal problems.
It could be nice to have person who have knowledge in veterinary medicine, construction or planting but it's not an obligation because here you can learn everything.
Here, beyond volunteering, you will also live a unique experience, in the heart of a very typical state in Mexico. You will meet people, you will learn many things. Here we try to create a family atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. Hugo, the host of the estate, is someone full of life and always smiling. It will be a pleasure for him to teach you many things and spend quality moments with you.
Oaxaca Mexico is a territory with a temperate climate and cold nights. Bring a warm sleeping bag/blanket (if you don't have one we have one here).
Here there is no number of working hours, we will see together the missions to carry out and then you organize yourself as you want, depending on the weather, your wishes.
It would be good if people stayed at least two weeks to see the farm, meet the animals and create a bond with them.
If one or more people also want to stay long term (several months), that is also possible and would be great. We also need someone who would take care of the social medias of the farm. One volunteer stayed for a year and was able to create great projects and change things here.
Bonus: We would be very happy if you could bring the Flag of your country (normal size) to decorate the granja :)

Versión español:
Nuestro lugar se encuentra a 14 kilómetros de Oaxaca, México. Trabajamos con plantas y varios animales como cocodrilos, monos, perros, conejos, gallinas, caballos y otros. Es una granja que rescata animales que son maltratados o no pueden vivir en su entorno natural.
El trabajo más importante es cuidar de los animales y alimentarlos. También tenemos trabajos de construcción de cercas y estancias para los nuevos animales.
Aqui, pueden encontrar un lugar tranquilo, cuatros y camas par dormir, agua, luz eléctrica, gas y comida básica como arroz y frijoles. Es tambien posible de poner hamacas.
Aquí pueden:
- Trabajando con animales
- Realizar o retomar proyectos
- Cuidar el jardín y las plantaciones.
En ocasiones recibimos visitas de colegios a la finca y organizamos talleres para concienciar sobre la discapacidad y los problemas animales.
Necissatamos personnas que tienen conocimientos en vetarinaria, en construction y en cultivos pero no es una obligation porque aqui pueden aprender.
Aquí, más allá del voluntariado, también vivirás una experiencia única, en el corazón de un estado muy típico de México. Conocerás gente, aprenderás muchas cosas. Aquí intentamos crear un ambiente familiar donde todos se sientan cómodos. Hugo, el anfitrión de la finca, es alguien lleno de vida y siempre sonriente. Será un placer para él enseñarte muchas cosas y pasar momentos de calidad contigo.
Oaxaca México es un territorio de clima templado a noches frías. Trae una bolsa de dormir/manta caliente (si no tienes una tenemos aquí).
Aquí no hay número de horas de trabajo, veremos juntos las misiones a realizar y luego tú te organizas como quieras, dependiendo del clima, tus deseos.
Sería bueno que la gente se quedara al menos dos semanas para conocer la granja, conocer a los animales y crear un vínculo con ellos.
Si una o más personas también quieren quedarse a largo plazo (varios meses), eso también es posible y sería genial. También buscamos alguien para generar contenido en los redes sociales de la granja. Un voluntario se quedó durante un año y pudo crear grandes proyectos y cambiar las cosas aquí.
Bonus: seríamos muy feliz si podría brindar la bandeja (tamaño natural) de tu país para decorar la granja :)

He helped with the horses in the morning and with the gardening.
He quickly learned the ins and outs of our place and was very sociable.
We're gonna miss him and hope he'll come back someday.
Me quedé en la casa de Victor Hugo por dos semanas en el verano de 2018. Trabajé con los animales y con Victor Hugo, Mari y tres otros voluntarios europeos, y fue una experiencia muy bonita. En aquella época se estaban mudando de su vieja granja a una nueva, entonces hubo que construir muchas nuevas jaulas y cercas, y luego… read more
