Julio and Erendia are really warm and nice persons and are always happy for company. The ranch is really beautiful and remote with a hilly landscapes and there are a lot of orange trees where you can collect oranges and eat them directly, what I really enjoyed. The work at the ranch is really easy and actually there isn't that much work, so if you decide to da volunteering there be prepared that you will have quite some free time. A really relaxing stay there. The facilities are kind of simple and I found the beds quite hard but I'm also quite delicate about my sleeping conditions. 😌

My stay in the ranch was really refreshing and peacefull. Don't expect 5 stars hotel service ahah but Julio and Erendita are really nice and always happy to have company and to share their knowledge with you. Its a small ranch with some different animals and the tasks can vary every day, but there is no pressure and you will have plenty of time to chill and rest. Really good if you want to try a different experience far from the city 🙂

Sra. Eréndira y Sr. Julio, muchísimas gracias por compartir este pedacito de paraíso hecho con mucho esfuerzo y amor por y para todos. Por regalarlos su tiempo, espacio, conocimiento e historias. Fam.Carballo Mercado desde los abuelos, Julio y Erendi; sus hijos Tere, Andy, Julio, Laura y esposo, Bety; sus nietas Fany, Elilú; y Eduardo, muchísimas gracias por su cariño y enseñanzas. Los momentos de convivencia fueron muy bonitos; excelentes pláticas. Logré mis 2 objetivos, aprender a pastorear y encontrar el lugar perfecto para estar en paz y en silencio con Dios.

Un lugar maravilloso con un entorno idílico. Don Julio y su esposa son personas que te tratan como si fueras familia... La comida riquísima y abundante. Solo estuve diez días de voluntariado pero mereció mucho la pena por la buena experiencia que te llevas...

¡Mi voluntariado en el “la granja 5 Yakas” fue diferente a todos los que había hecho! Ere y Julio me hicieron sentir en casa desde el primer día. Las tareas son variadas; desde limpiar el maíz, chiapiar el terreno, dar de comer a los animales y más. Las charlas, comidas, novelas y juegos de cartas fueron lo mejor! Espero visitarlos pronto! Los voy a extrañar! 🫶🏼❤️
