My time at the Finca with Manrique was amazing. I loved that we got the opportunity to build with sustainable clay and other materials. Being surrounded by nature and the local culture was a big plus. Getting to know people both local and international was great and I had a very good time here. Specially seeing the Horseshow in town and going surfing with Manrique. Pizzanight was also awesome, but I have to say my favorite night was when we all went dancing Salsa! Only negative thing about the Finca was leaving too early. Thank you Manrique!!

Manrique is an excellent host and this was an incredible experience. The work was engaging and not too difficult, whilst he made a great effort to teach you about the tasks and nature. We went to beach every day and he organised an activity for most nights from salsa dancing to jamming with his friends by the beach. All in all, well worth the experience!

Our stay was amazing! The project is super cool and the tasks are very chill and fun! The host, Manrique, made us feel at home right away. He took us surfing 🏄 which I appreciated very much! We also went to other social activities and had a wonderful pizza night at home. Our stay could not be better and I recommend this everyone! Thank you so much Manri, hope to see you in the future!

I stayed in the project for one week and I loved it<3 If you like to get you hands dirty and learn by doing this is your place… I learned a lot about premaculture and sustainability;))The place is nice (don't expect luxury, it's in the middle of the nature so there are insects ) and Manrique is a super nice host! Normally we used to work in the mornings and we did some activities like going to the beach at the afternoons:)
