This hotel is a gem in the jungle. They kindly offer 3 meals a day, which is amazing.

Paulina was very accommodating and kind. Rudy and Blaki were awesome and do cool sports. All the staff were friendly but we had limited Spanish so could be hard at first but we made friends.

We stayed for 2 weeks helping paint and come up with design ideas… read more

I really enjoyed my time at Viñas and would highly recommend to anyone. The staff there were very friendly and made me feel very welcome. The work was easy and the staff were laidback about which days you worked. Plus they were so generous and kind offering three meals a day.
They were also super helpful with advice about what to do in the area… read more

We had two wonderful weeks at lanquin. Rudy's family welcomed us with open arms. We felt like home. The employees are all friendly and made us feel at home. Our work consisted in repainting the facade of some walls.
We would have liked to stay longer but time was running out.
Thank you Rudy for spending time and helping us organize our activities… read more
