The project was such an incredible experience! Mawi is a great host, really brining you into her community :) The ranch is utterly beautiful, with a stunning volcano right in the backyard! The work is very labor intensive, so be prepared, but it is definitely rewarding to be working with your hands, learning about eco-building, and contributing towards a project that has a great purpose. 10/10, I'd highly recommend!

I had a fantastic time at Rancho the project where I gained valuable knowledge about sustainability and learned how to initiate projects from scratch. The surrounding nature was stunning, and each day was filled with fascinating tasks. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who loves spending time in nature and is up for learning something new. The hosts are very kind and went out of their way, to shape this beautiful experience.

Mariana & Andrea were the perfect hosts! I felt really comfortable even though it was the bush-bush ;) I really liked thework I was doing, making walls, painting, clearing a camping zone . The hours are really good. I also like to get to know their vision for the project and I hope they can make it into a super chido camping soon. It is a shame I only stayed 2 weeks. The only critical note I have is to do with the aggression of the dogs, I know M&A are on it but I still had a fright. a few tips for future volunteers: bring a swear, natural bug repellent and lots of good books.

Siempre estuvieron al pendiente de mi, de como me sentía y mis necesidades, desde un principio fueron claros con los acuerdos, objetivos y retos que tendriamos (tienen buenas líderes). Las comidas muy ricas y las tardes libres para recreación. El lugar regala bellísimo paisaje a los volcanes. Recomiendo RSR para quienes buscan encontrarse con la naturaleza en un lugar tranquilo.
