Staying at this beautiful farm taught us so much. Seeing the process of growing, harvesting and preparing everything we ate showed us the true effort required to achieve self reliance and sustainability.

Gizem y Eric son una pareja amable y divertida: Gizem muy allegre, Eric muy determinado en sus acciones y esencial en su ser. La experiencia fue corta lamentablemente, nos habría gustado que sea más larga por sus voluntad de ayudar en lo que sea. Muy buena aptitud en la comunicación y relación con con nuestra familia. Muy recomandables.

We had an amazing experience with Victor. He was funny and Gordo was so cute. We cleaned weeds mostly and that was all. It was hot but at the end of the work we always had a chance to go to the town and spend enjoyable time. The temazcal bath was such an cultural experience and we felt all clean after working hard. :) Muchas gracias 🤗🤗🤗

She taught us all about the history of the region, took us to cenote and speak spanish all the time with us to improve our language. The pool at the nearby hacienda was so nice to cool off… read more
