Jorje y Maria welcomed me like family & treated me as such! From their “welcome home!” once they picked me up from the airport, Jorje saying “open your heart” when we would be having deep conversations with our language barriers, & Maria explaining “se puede vivir con menos” underneath a pink sky as we ate dinner looking across the horizon of Borinquen! I learned about sustainable construction & how their beautiful, optimistic perception of Life has led them to true peacefulness! Their energy, hospitality, & love is something I will always respect & cherish! I'm changed & forever grateful!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was absolutely amazing! Jorge and Maria are so warm, kind, and welcoming. I learned so much from sustainable planting to Maria's delicious escabeche recipe to Taino traditions. They are very flexible in what kind of work you want to contribute and in letting you work at your own pace. I got to plant all sorts of fruits and vegetables in my own compost and learn about environmental and economical farming practices. I encourage everyone to apply! Come with an open mind and heart and enjoy beautiful Caguas with these incredible hosts!

Great experience here! The hosts Jorge & Maria immediately made me feel welcome. I had the freedom to do things my own pace and was never asked too much of. Jorge proudly shared his philosophy: 'Nunca trabaja, only disfruta,' & Maria cooked me amazing food everyday. The camping itself is on top of a mountain and a very inspiring place where everything is self-made from recycled material. If you love nature and beautiful sunsets, this place is for you. Though you are still close to 'Caguas', with a shopping mall, universities, and a cute historic center, El Yunque (rainforest) & San Juan. 10/10

Aquí no solo encontré lo ofrecido, encontré un cambio en mi maravilloso! Un guía, un apoyo, unas ganas de salir adelante inmensas, un proyecto que me mueve con el alma y corazón, un renacer y un balance, una inspiración. Me voy de aquí no solo sabiendo como hacer una puerta, una ventana, o como luce el alcanfor, me voy con la filosofía de María de que se puede vivir con menos, de impulsarme con resultados y con la filosofía de Jorge de morir para renacer en el vientre. Infinitas gracias a la vida, a Dios, y a ellos por ayudarme a encontrar un balance y por ayudarme a expandir!
