It was a great pleasure having Harry and Madeleine volunteering with us!

They have helped us beautifully in our food forest (chop and drop, plowing and mulching), fixing our driveway and most of all landscaping a bit of our garden to prevent flooding of our rain water catchment system. They are both really hands-on, pro active, quick learners and… read more

Jeop and Julia were two wonderful people, full of knowledge and kindness! Sharing breakfast at the beginning of each working day was a highlight as we got to know them as a couple which was brilliant. The work is enjoyable and you really feel as if you learn something everyday, with Joep's incredible knowledge and his willingness to share. We… read more

Beautiful hostel, beautiful animals and most importantly, beautiful people. We felt like we'd known Dani and Guillaume for years - thank you for making us feel so at home. We worked on reception and the bar and enjoyed every shift. Communication and flexibility on shifts made staying in Buritaca and exploring the area an absolute dream, we miss it… read more

Truly two of the most kind and welcoming people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We enjoyed all the tasks we had to do on the farm and learnt so much that we will remember forever. Thank you so much for all the fun, good food and good conversations we had - we miss you and your beautiful home already

They were also very patient in teaching us about the language.
We had fun times playing cards, telling stories and working together on the farm. We worked on maintaining the vegetable… read more

Madeleine and I stayed with Yani for nearly 3 weeks and were made to feel like a part of the family from the moment we arrived. You made us feel so welcome and were so patient with us and our limited Spanish. The work was fun and rewarding, we learnt so many things that will stay with us forever. We cannot say thank you enough, we will be back one… read more

Madeleine and I had an incredible time in Itá Ibaté and can not recommend this workaway more highly. Our hosts, Lucia and Juan, were two of the kindest and most welcoming people we could have been met with. We were not only made to feel welcome by Lucia and Juan but by all the children, teachers and local townspeople we met. Itá Ibaté is truly a… read more

Harry and Madeleine were our first volunteers and it has been amazing! They are very nice, friendly and responsible. My students loved the opportunity to interact with them and learn about their culture.
I really liked our conversations and time together, we had fun, specially when Harry cooked that delicious risotto for us! I'm glad I was able… read more
