It has been a very beautiful experience that exceeded my expectations.
The farm is great, the workers are super friendly, and you can learn a lot from them.
And Sarah is a top top host!

Sarah and her team are extremely welcoming and I had a wonderful experience at Guardian Farms! Sarah, is very knowledgeable about permaculture and is an excellent teacher; I feel like I walked away having learned new skills that I can incorporate into my life for a more farm to table lifestyle. Sarah is extremely generous with food, sharing her space, and with respect to prioritizing the interests and needs of the volunteers. I would highly recommend Guardian Farms it’s an excellent learning farm.

An incredible place to connect with nature and meet people from different backgrounds, as well as have an excellent cultural experience. Everyone is very kind and generous💙 You feel at home, with good food and a comfortable place. Sarah is kind and welcoming.

Had a great time at Guardian Farm! Sarah and her crew were very welcoming and eager to share. I learned a lot about permaculture and met so many wonderful people!

I came to this farm in search of a safe opportunity to explore something outside of my comfort zone. Not only was I given this wonderful opportunity, I was met with much much more. Sarah naturally attracts the most amazing people with the most pure energies to her farm. Both Sarah and the other volunteers empowered me to grow exponentially and I hope to stay in touch with them for the rest of my life. Sarah allowed us the freedom to explore our interests and try new things, learning how to problem solve, while supporting us from a distance. She was involved at all the right times. All of her recommendations for activities and places to visit made for memories I’ll ever forget. The food on the farm was delicious and plentiful. The town nearby was always a good time and felt safe. When I was feeling a little lost spiritually, I reached out to Sarah and she worked with me on my journey, helping me to reconnect with myself. The couple weeks I spent at Sarah’s was a well rounded and highly transformative experience that’ll forever hold a special place in my heart

I spent a month sharing time at the farm. It was an experience I will carry in my heart forever. I cultivated my spirit and had eternal connections with the family pet and the workers. Nelly is an excellent cook and caretaker, and Pascuala has ancestral knowledge about plant care. I feel blessed to have had this experience. Sarah is the most generous person I've ever met, and she also has a gift for helping you connect with God and the nature. Work hours were respected and the activities were very enjoyable. Everything is so organic that working is truly enjoyable. Anyone who has the opportunity to come to this magical place is very lucky. I hope that the dreams of every person who spends time here come true, that the butterfly farm becomes everything they desire, and that the food and pizza nights continue to be as incredible as they were when I was here. Thank you for the experience, for the love, and the great story that I carry in my soul. You have inspired me to be a better person. May life allow me to return! .

Mi experiencia en Guardian Farm fue increíble! el lugar en el que se encuentra la granja es hermoso! el pueblo es tranquilo y tiene ríos cerca para poder pasar las tardes.
Sarah fue una excelente anfitriona, muy amable y preocupada por nuestro bienestar. Nos abrió las puertas de su casa y nos brindó una atención hermosa y generosa, así también las dos personas que trabajan con ella: Pascuala y Nelly.
El trabajo diario es muy flexible y entretenido, las comidas son deliciosas y siempre hay muchas cosas por hacer.
Realmente fue una experiencia que repetiría y amaría volver a visitar!

Thank God, it was another wonderful experience for us. The only thing I regret is that, because we don't speak English and speak little Spanish, this greatly reduces our interaction between all the other volunteers and hosts. Even so, everyone tried to talk to us and always paid attention to us. Sarah is a person of faith and God-fearing and we had several opportunities to pray together, becoming a wonderful bond. Sarah, I appreciate your kindness, generosity, and awareness. Big hug to dear Nelida, Pascoala, Rosa and Mr Francisco. The kittens and dogs in the house are blessings

A minha experiência foi muito especial. Sarah recebeu a mim e Facu no seu projeto e pudemos ajudar com diferentes atividades na horta, com insetos y com as plantas. Além de uma habitação privada tivemos muita comida saborosa e saudável disponível. Un agradecimiento especial al equipo Neli, Pascoala, Francisco, Pepe y Lucio por ayudar a mantener las buenas energías del guardian farn y a Sarah por nos recibir. O staff falava em inglês e no fim foi divertido porque eu não sei falar quase nada hahah recomendamos demais a experiência e esperamos poder voltar um dia :) Thanks, see you!

Guardian farm is an absolute paradise! Set in a rural and idyllic landscape, the farm impressively manages to juggle many projects from bee conservation to reforestation.  Sarah is an incredibly generous host, and really tries to enrich the volunteers experience. For example, while on the farm Sarah kindly organised an amazing 2 days of bee workshops, where we had the opportunity to learn lots about bees and their hives. Furthermore she was flexible with our working hours which allowed us to go to Machu Picchu.  Alongside Sarah, the farm has an excellent team who cook some truely amazing meals, and very conscientiously look after the farm. Big shout out to Pasquele, Nelly, Alonso and Jimmy! I would say a bit of prior Spanish knowledge is useful, as sometimes sarah isn’t available to give instructions, and the other workers don’t speak English, so communicating clearly can be tricky.  I would highly recommend the guardian farm to anyone in Peru! Many thanks to everyone on the farm ❤️

My time at Guardian Farm was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of Peru's sacred valley, the farm felt like a hidden oasis where nature, creativity, and community converge. I was surrounded by inspiring souls - gardeners, artists, engineers, and wanderers from all walks of life, each bringing their own light and energy to this special place.  Sarah, the heart of the farm, is one of the kindest and most open-hearted people I’ve ever met. Her warmth sets the tone for the entire experience. Each day began with delicious, nourishing meals, vibrant juices, fresh smoothies, and an abundance of avocados and bananas I could hardly believe.  The natural world here is alive in a way I’d never experienced before. Butterflies drifted through the gardens, caterpillars inched along leaves, and the variety of insects painted a vivid portrait of biodiversity. And I'll miss Obi dearly. We danced between torrential rains and golden sunshine, learning hands-on about permaculture amid one of the most breathtaking landscapes on earth.  This place left a deep mark on me, one of wonder, peace, and purpose. I carry the lessons and memories with me, and I truly hope to return one day.

Had a great time at Guardian Farm! Sarah and her crew were very welcoming and eager to share. I learned a lot about permaculture and met so many wonderful people!

Spent two weeks there and I will definitely return! Sarah is an incredibly kind and generous host and has built a wonderful farm, I felt very welcome from my first day on. What I especially appreciated are the many opportunities one has to realize own little projects with lots of support and encouragement from Sarah.  The nature and surroundings are stunning as well, I will never forget yhat foggy view of the mountains.  Even when I got sick for a few days, everyone was kind and understanding, so in spite of that I had a really good time on the farm.  Thank you Sarah & everyone else who I got to meet in Hyuro!!

Guardians is a beautiful and welcoming space, a great place to detox from the stresses of the world. Sarah has really dedicated herself to many different projects to benefit the surrounding community. Volunteers like myself also got a taste of what it's like to live off the earth, eat nutritious food, be one with nature and work in a community/ team environment. Highly recommend the experience and getting to know Sarah

My stay here was amazing and filled with love and adventures. The property is so beautiful with a lot of little animals to make friends with, Sarah ( the host) is an incredibly loving and caring person, her love for the environment and nature is second to none and she has a amazing understanding of the ecosystem and our effects on it. She has made my stay here very comfortable and welcoming with her easy going attitude and it honestly just feels like home. She is very relaxed and and cool to hang out with and anyone that comes to the farm would welcomed with open arms and a big hug :)

My experience at the farm was 10/10. The place has such beautiful energy and it's all thanks to Sarah, she was a amazing host and made me feel home. She will make sure you do tasks you'll enjoy and take into account everyone's skills and desires. I met amazing people, including the workers. The food was delicious, everything was home made and natural, every meal was a special moment. I got to enjoy nature, views from the house are breathtaking and there are many places to explore within the area. Thank you Sarah for making this experience so significant you have a really kind and unique soul

The place is beautiful. You are in the middle of the Sacred Valley. The house is quite, always clean and filled up with amazing goodies. Food is always prepared with lots of love, in groups with international volunteers and locals which creates really rich experiences. There is a lot we eat from what the farm produces, all organic and delicious. Tasks are very diverse and interesting so there is a lot to learn about from and experienced.

600 characters are not enough to describe this place. As our first volunteer experience, it couldn't have been better. We have so much to thank Sarah for. A person with a giant heart and a priceless love for what she does and the place she cares for. The hospitality, the facilities, the nature, the animals, the food, the work, the people, everything about this place is fantastic and we will carry it in our hearts forever. Sarah's connection with God is something rare. Something pure and genuine. That was very important to us as well. Gratitude! I hope to come back.

Visiting Guardian Farm has been a beautiful and transformative blessing.
Being surrounded by mountains and working as a team with the other volunteers is something that fills your soul and teaches you to become a better person every day.
From the moment Obi (the most affectionate dog on the farm) greets you, to the farewell hugs, you never stop growing as a human being and child of God.
Sarah is a host who always encourages you to explore your passions, connect with nature, and learn new things. She genuinely cares about your story and offers advice with honesty and great wisdom.

A fantastic farm with a remarkable variety of exciting projects.
I spent two weeks on the farm. During those two weeks, I grew very fond of everyone involved, as well as all the farm's lovely animals. There's truly a project for everyone to pursue. The food is delicious, plentiful, and perfectly rounds off the stay. I would love to come back again!

Thank you to Gardian Farm

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Gardian Farm for providing wonderful days surrounded by nature. This charming place is a true refuge, offering a welcoming environment, always clean, with a variety of healthy and abundant food, and, of course, a lot of love invested in every detail.

Special Thanks to Sarah

A special thank you goes to Sarah, whose hospitality made my stay an unforgettable experience. Her presence radiates tranquility, joy, and love in every gesture. I am grateful for the prayers and the meticulous attention to every detail, something that truly makes a difference. Thank you for setting aside a room with a double bed and a single bed for my family.

I also thank the Loving and Responsible Staff.

The Gardian Farm team also deserves recognition. Everyone is extremely loving and responsible, making our stay even more special. Gardian Farm is a place that truly exudes love and hospitality, and for that, my gratitude is eternal. I will never forget the unforgettable moments I experienced.

Absolutely lovely place I did 3 weeks of volunteering and had an amazing time. Sarah's brilliant such an amazing person to be around, pesquala and nelly, two workers on the farm, are so lovely too.

What a place! Hidden away in the middle of the mountains is the most beautiful farm / permaculture project I have ever seen. Thank you Sarah for hosting me, for being so kind, open, and wonderful. You have truly made a magical space with fresh fruit and delicious food everyday. There was nothing I felt like I could not ask or have help with. I made amazing friends, which I hope to keep in touch with in the future. And I would love to come back one day! Muchos gracias ☺️

Visitar Guardian Farm ha sido una hermosa y transformadora bendición, estar rodeada de montañas y trabajar en equipo con los demás voluntarios es algo que te llena el alma y te enseña a ser mejor cada día. Desde que Obi (el perro más cariñoso de la granja) te recibe hasta los abrazos de despedida , no dejas de cultivarte como ser humano e hijo de Dios. Sarah es una anfitriona que siempre te invita a explorar tus pasiones, la naturaleza, aprender cosas nuevas además de estar interesada en tu historia y en cómo poder aconsejarte desde su honestidad y gran inteligencia.

My volunteering was simply incredible and exceeded my expectations. Sarah is a very wise, kind person with a big heart. Her project of caring for nature and developing the community won my heart. Was amazing starting the day with thanksgiving! Everything I experienced here is truly a blessing. I had the opportunity to work and learn more about composting and reforestation. The food is healthy and cooking is a very special experience. I loved the hospitality, people, dogs and cats there. Thank you Sarah for the anwesome and enriching experience! The memories will always be in my heart!

This is an incredible project and a great opportunity to learn about farming and permaculture practices Sarah is passionate, dedicated and has some unique rules but allows the volunteers to be independant while incorperating their skills and ideas. The animals are great, the local employees are amazing and all the other travellers I volunteered with were incredible. If you have the option this experience is a must!

We had a great time at Guardian farms. Sarah and her whole teams is very welcoming, generous, greatly interesting and fun. We were supposed to stay only a week but ended up changing our plans to stay longer. There is always a great variety of projects going on here wether in the garden, kitchen, out of town etc. We also loved exchanging with the volunteers and the local workers. You are well surrounded in Huyropata! The farm is surrounded by many amazing hikes and archaeological sites just waiting to be visited. Also, the food was delicious everyday. Thank you so much Sarah and we hope to see you again. Good luck with all your great projects.

Guardian Farm was a beautiful space. I had a truly wonderful 2 weeks stay here.  During the first week of my time there, Sarah and main translator Rosa were not present. This led to some communication issues about volunteer tasks for the first week. However, staff was so kind and patient and helped come up with farm tasks in Sarah's absence.  During the second week, Sarah arranged a wonderful two day native bee presentation. A local bee expert taught the volunteers about native Melipona bees and other bees found in the Huayopata region. We made temporary and permanent bee homes, and sampled native bee honey.  The food served for breakfast and lunch was amazing, and dinner options for volunteers were fantastic. The dorm style rooms were excellent and had bug nets for each bed.  Overall, I would recommend visiting Guardian Farms, especially if you are able to coordinate a specific project with Sarah beforehand and stay for an extended period of time. It was beautiful and I had a wonderful experience here. Many thanks to Sarah and team.

I volunteered for two weeks at the Guardian Farm and it was amazing!! The tasks we got to do were very diverse and you are even able to come up with and work on your own project (if you’re staying long enough). Sarah really listens to what you have to offer and thinks along with you on how you can have the best time here. I love how everyone appreciates good food and we experimented a lot with it. The area is beautiful and the people are really friendly. Don’t forget to bring some mosquito spray! You will have a blast :)

I had a great experience as a first-time WWOOFer and as a solo-female traveler and would recommend the farm to anyone looking for a really unique and gorgeous place to volunteer. The farm is very accessible from Cusco via bus/taxi and Sarah was SO helpful with assisting with travel plans and helping with planning our excursions on the weekend (waterfall hikes, Machu Picchu etc.) . The food was amazing and I learned about so many new cooking techniques and worked with many foods I was previously unfamiliar with. I met some amazing people and we all definitely had frequent 'world debates' so if you come here, I recommend coming with a very open mind because I think you'll learn a lot more about how others from other places view the world we all live in. Also- there's a natural swimming pool that was my favorite thing to jump in after a humid day working in the fields. The only warnings I would put are that there are a LOT of biting bugs and really large spiders in case that's something that would really bother you - it was something I had to get used to but didn't take away from everything I got to learn about. The farm work was good and you could really see your progress after the couple of weeks.

Thank God we found a person of faith, with a beautiful relationship with God, so coexistence is pleasant and prosperous, because, where there are people talking with and about God, there is Peace and harmony. Sarah is very generous, conscientious and makes everyone feel comfortable and good. She knows how to recognize and praise our actions. I recommend it for several experiences. We also leave a lot of affection to her assistants Nelida, Pascoala, Rosa and Sr. Francisco, they are excellent people. Thank you all so much for everything and we will continue to pray for Sarah, her home and h

My experience was very rewarding, Sarah is a kind, generous person. The farm is very cozy, with abundant nature and the team of workers are always open to teach volunteers how to do the tasks properly. I have a special affection for Nelli and Pascuala, it was wonderful to meet them. Another positive point is food, the farm offers a variety of delicious foods, and Sarah always shares her amazing recipes with the team. It's a truly gastronomic experience. We will miss you all! Including the house pets, the project Obi, Siete, and all the kittens.

I really enjoyed my time at El Establo. It was incredible to spend some time in such a peaceful and awe-inspiring environment whilst getting stuck into some work. The project taking place here is quite impressive as there is so much going and is more and more becoming a central part for the local community. It was such a pleasure to get to know the locals and I am grateful to have been a part of their lives even for such a short period of time

My time at the project was truly amazing! ❤️ Sarah has crafted a special place where people work, relax, and connect. Everyone is not just friendly but incredibly kind and supportive. Sarah fosters an environment where you are encouraged to pursue what you love, allowing for genuine personal growth. The house provides a comforting, homely atmosphere, and there are numerous activities to enjoy during free time. Special kudos to Obi and the cats—they thrive on attention and reciprocate with lot of love! the project isn't just a place; it's a warm, welcoming family and a unique way of life 🌱

The place is beautiful, the house is big and quiet, just in the middle of the jungle. Tasks are very interesting and there is always something to learn. Preparing and sharing food was something really nice, always delicious organic goods

I believe there are many magical places on the planet. And what Sarah built in this small town in Peru is one of them. Particularly here, there is everything that I value in my travels: An extremely beautiful nature, very good people, very delicious food and the name of Jesus is placed first in everything. Sarah carries out several fantastic projects in environmental protection, social work and caring for others. I was with other volunteers from France, USA, Germany and during our days we did different types of work: We planted, painted, harvested coffee, I also worked in gardening and creat

It was a very pleasant experience. Sarah is a very kind and warm person, as is the farm staff.
I had the opportunity to try delicious recipes, some made with organic products harvested on the farm.
The place is very beautiful — you connect with nature and the animals.
It’s well set up, and the tasks are simple.
There was always a collaborative and respectful atmosphere.
I totally recommend it.

The experience at Guardian Farm was great. The place is beautiful, and the people are very kind and friendly. It's a welcoming place where we can connect with nature and make friends with people from all over the world.

My time at Guardian Farm was incredible, even though it was only seven days. There, you connect with the Creator through nature and have a unique experience with the people and animals who live there. I also got to meet several other volunteers, with their stories and dreams—wonderful people, new cultures, and new languages. As for Sarah, the owner of this beautiful place and the creator of this organization brimming with projects, there are no words to describe her affection and kindness toward me and the other volunteers. She is an incredible person who loves nature, not only in words but especially in actions. It was a great privilege to experience each day there; I hope to return someday.

I spent two amazing weeks volunteering here at this beautiful farm. The farm itself is a great example of a permaculture project linked with community support and engagement. The workers are all amazing and the owner Sarah is a very caring person. As a biologist it’s a great place to volunteer if you want to work on any projects related to local flora or fauna. I hope someone comes to finish the native bee project! Thanks for everything :)

I had the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks at Sarah's farm, trying her delicious recipes and also new foods, some from her garden that I wasn't familiar with. I also shared laughs with the locals: Nelly, Pascuala, Nico, some volunteers who were with me, and, no less importantly, some of her pets: Ovi, Siete, Macarroni, and Zorro. It's a quiet place full of peace and harmony where you can feel the warmth of nature and humanity. Thank you, Sarah, for welcoming us, for your kindness and warmth. Take care, and see you soon!

Fue una experiancia muy agaradable, Sarah es una persona muy amable y calida al igual que el personal de la granja, tuve la oportunidad de probar deliciosas recetas hechas algunas con algunos productos organicos cosechados en la granja, el lugar es muy bonito conectas con la naturaleza y los animales, esta bien adecuado y las tareas a realizar son sencillas, siempre se mantuvo un ambiente colaborativo y de respeto, lo recomiento totalmente..

This was my first time wwoofing and it couldn’t have been better. I had a great time at the farm, the work is fun and rewarding. The food is fantastic as well as the environment. Sarah is very nice and generous and a great host, I would recommend to anybody looking to wwoof. Couldn’t have had a better experience.

I had an amazing experience at the farm! I learned so much about the beautiful natural diversity around, the permaculture, fruit picking, building out of scratch, the insects, and cooking with creativity. I also feared my fears living in the jungle area! Sarah not only is a great woman leading the farm by herself, she is also caring for our wellbeing and makes sure we have a good time at the farm and visiting the surrounding. She also helps the local community in more than one beautiful way and seems appreciated by all. Her local team is made of locals who speak spanish and are all lovely :)

Working for Sarah on her farm was definitely one of the most memorable and beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. The project that she is working on is so much more than just a farm. It’s a reforestation paradise that involves the local community and beyond. Sarah is an incredible person and it has been such a gift to see everything she has created. The kindness and care that was extended to me during my stay was truly heart warming. I only stayed a short time due to travel delays, but I was still able to work on many projects such as tree planting, composting, cooking, processing veggies, and more. Sarah and her farm staff were very kind and helpful in suggesting local places and adventures to go on during free time. The meals and breads were so delicious, and there was never a time when food wasn’t available. There are fun places to check out within walking distance, and many interesting features are just a short colectivo or taxi ride away. I highly recommend making the trek to Machu Picchu via the hydroelectric route if you have time. There were several other volunteers at the farm, and two lovely dogs that provided great companionship. I highly recommend woofing on Sarah’s farm!

Oh where shall we start to praise Sarah and her place? She is one of the most inspiring, generous, loving, appreciative and creative strong women that we have met. Her farm is a place hustling with many WWOOFers, so many ongoing projects you can get involved in and even more than you can take initiative to start! We learnt sooo much about any topic ranging from local plants and animals, huggelculture, painting, life philosophy, had many profound conversations and could vary our work according to the weather and our wishes! The food is amazing, you see purpose in what you do and Sarah proposes cool free time activities! The animals are lovely (though mind you the bugs are real) and 2 weeks in Guardian farm simply flew by in laughter, work, more than some creative chaos and lovely afternoon walks. Do go there ❤️

My time at Sarah’s was one of learning, exploration, friendship and abundance. Guardian farm itself is situated in a area where is feels there is everything you need, the biodiversity is fascinating and the capacity of growth for all living things is truly amazing. Sarah is a kind and generous host, making sure to listen and attend to your interests and gives the space for you to explore anything you are interested in, for me it was my love of natural dyes. Throughout my time I was able to attend to a wide range of projects such as rock wall building, native bee projects and cooking anything and everything we could possibly think of. I made true friends in the other volunteers and the two women who work at the farm have a special place in my heart and I thank them for their care. Sarah has a gift for attracting great beings to the farm, animals and humans alike. I miss the dogs and cats as-well as the flowers and the trees. I would highly recommend Guardian Farm for anyone who wants to explore themselves whilst exploring a beautiful part of the world. I hope to visit again one day.

Highly recommend this experience! Sarah is amazing to work with and an even better person. She has a talent at picking really cool volunteers- everyone is so welcoming and has an interesting background. My time here felt like a home away from home. You won't regret staying here!

Sara is a great human being with a deep soul. She is building a great place for people to be, learn and contribute in the best of there ability. As any human being she can't do it alone, and need some help and assistance.

The time spent at the project was very fulfilling. There were other international volounteers and together with Sarah and local workers, we immediately bond to work together as a group. The place is just magical and Sarah is always a step ahead to think about new activities that can enrich the project and the community.

The project is a very peaceful place that offers a lot of flexibility in regard to tasks and daily schedule. Sarah, the host, is very welcoming, and I enjoyed her positive attitude. The workers at the farm, are kind and helpful. I really enjoyed the fresh food that we had the joy of preparing and eating every day. The other volunteers were amazing. This is also a great place to volunteer if you would like to da weekend trip to Machu Picchu, as it is not too far. Sarah has great plans for the farm and wants to see the community prosper.

I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, the time I spent here was absolutely incredible. There is a bright, friendly, calming & inspiring atmosphere about the place and Sarah is a shining soul who is supportive & welcoming to all volunteers. If you want to have a great time in Peru & see places you might not see doing the typical tourist routes this place is ideal. I loved the work here, it's diverse & Sarah allows you to play to your strengths, whilst also learning new skills if you are interested. Overall if you like nature, good food & good people, you should come!

I loved this experience, my first as a volunteer. I felt very welcome, the house was like my second family, both with the volunteers and the people of the village. As for Sarah, she's a very kind, welcoming and attentive person, who allows us to carry out our projects and work according to our own skills. In short, I loved this experience and I'm ready to come back one day if life gives me the chance.

The experience was truly wonderful.
Sarah, our host, is a unique, wonderful, and very transparent person.
The place is very peaceful, and the staff, Pascall and Niele, are very warm and friendly.
I worked in coffee harvesting, composting, and in the kitchen.
I recommend this volunteer opportunity. Thank you, Sarah.

Spending a few days here reconnected me with God through nature. It's a peaceful place, with friendly people and delicious food, all organic and grown on-site.

I'll definitely be back and volunteering with Sarah's beautiful reforestation work. I'm not giving it six stars because I can't, but I highly recommend it.

What an AMAZING place! Had the time of my life at the Guardian Farm, met incredible people, had delicious food and helped the environment. This experience will be in my heart very dearly for the rest of my life ❤️

We spent about two weeks here and had an amazing time. Sarah is such a kind host and created a wonderful place for all people from all around the world. From the beginning I felt very welcome and the food there is just amazing. I haven't experienced so much variety and I miss it already. There are a lot of animals too and you can cuddle with the dogs and cats all the time. Don't be frightened that it is a bit away from town, we had other volunteers there all the time and made new friendships and it will never get boring. We would love to come back one day. Thank you for everything

A experiência foi realmente maravilhosa.
Sarah , nossa anfitriã e uma pessoa ímpar , maravilhosa e muito transparente.
O lugar é muito tranquilo, as funcionárias Pascall e Niele são muito afetuosas e simpáticas.
Trabalhei na colheita de café , compostagem e na cozinha. Recomendo esse voluntariado. Obrigada , Sarah.

Thanks for hosting me for three weeks Sarah! I definitely learned a lot! In my opinion Sarah is a very generous host, especially when it comes to food. Always plenty available and very tasty. What I most appreciated about the place is the amount of other volunteers from all over the world Sarah welcomes in her house. Bare in mind when coming to the farm that it is still a persons home, so of course there are some rules to follow, especially since there are always so many new people around. so if you don't like rules, then you might wanna choose a different place. If you're fine with following some basic guidelines, you're gonna have a great time!

Guardian farm es un excelente voluntariado. En un entorno increíble rodeado de montañas, selva y río. Ideal para conectar con la naturaleza. Sarah es una gran anfitriona y está siempre atenta al bienestar de los voluntarios con un cariño de madre. Los horarios de trabajo se respetan perfectamente. Las tareas son simples y hay flexibilidad para trabajar. Las comida es maravillosa, deliciosa, abundante y saludable. Pude aprender mucho sobre huerta, permacultura, producción de café y contrucción con bambú entre muchas otras cosas. ¡Estoy feliz de haber tenido la oportunidad de vivir aquí!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at Guardian Farm. Before coming Sarah had been great on the phone, asking what we were interested in doing. Luckily one of her projects involved native bees which we had both had some experience with so we took on this job.  Sarah was endlessly offering materials, tools, education resources and so much more to help this project. She organised us to speak with a local bee farm about their native bees and how to build hives which was amazing.  The place itself is beautiful, very relaxing and the rest of Sarah’s team were all very accommodating and friendly. They also cooked some amazing breakfasts & lunches. One tip, the more Spanish you know the better, as they speak mostly their native language and Spanish. On our first week as Sarah and Rosa her translator wasn’t there, there were a few communication issues. However Sarah cleared up everything once she was back.  The days were great once we started our project. We worked 5 hours 5 days a week and helped cook and clean in the kitchen. The kitchen has a great set up with every ingredient and machine you may need.  The only negative was we didn’t spend enough time here! Thank you for an unforgettable time here Sarah. We hope to return :)

I really enjoyed my time at Guardian Farms and am grateful for everything Sarah and her team did for me while I was there. The surrounding area is gorgeous, you can easily walk to a nearby river or the village, and there is much to do on the weekend around there. Sarah was very generous to pay for us to take a bird watching tour in the area. I was given lots of freedom to chose my tasks, and there are many projects going on at all times, so I got to dabble in various different areas and learn a lot. I definitely enjoyed how much effort was put into the food we ate, there was time included in the volunteer hours to cook delicious meals in the amazingly equipped kitchen and get creative. I hope to come back again some time soon!

This experience was really truly enriching for me and I have only good memories of everything. I highly recommend this farm. It's such a peaceful place with beautiful nature and lovely people. I learned so much, how to make coffee and about permaculture. I also recommend this place to anyone who has a celiac disease because they were really careful about my dietary requirements, I ate the best gluten-free pizza here ! Thank you for hosting me Sarah, I felt both your involvement in this project and your generosity, I'm really grateful and thank you again for everything ! 🥰

Guardian Farm is a great place. Remote from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a natural swimming pool where you can refresh yourself after work. I was there for two weeks. Sarah has a big heart and is very committed to the people around her. At Christmas, for example, the people from the village were invited and the children received presents. She is also very accommodating when it comes to the time you have to do activities on the weekend. The food is amazing! I had a great time there! Thanks!

Sarah is a very kind and caretaking person. She treats the local workers and the volunteers with respect and kindness and she knows a lot about organic farming. With the project she created a paradise on earth and it was wonderful to see how every working day on that land brought us closer to our goal of selfsustainability. I'm curious how the farm an it's projects will grow within the next year's. During our stay we had enough time to explore the surrounding, hiking to Machu Picchu and we even went to a tea plantation and degustation. All in all I had a wonderful stay there.

Sarah is such a wonderful person and host, her project exceeded my expectations by far! From the moment I walked into her beautiful home I felt so welcomed. As a chef this was more than the perfect opportunity for me, with the endless knowledge of Peru and its diverse environments/vegetation that Sarah provided. We had many unforgettable group trips on the weekends to the sacred valley, Machu Picchu and other surrounding areas. Would recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with themselves and others more.

I can't summarise how special the project is in words, especially not in a short review. Sarah is the most wonderful, uplifting, supportive and kind person. The work she does at the farm and for the community (and for the world!) is so inspiring. Working on the farm never really felt like work, as we were allowed to use our initiative and channel into our skills and hobbies, and could work on projects we enjoyed and were passionate about. You are trusted more than most volunteering opportunities which I really appreciated, and it made your contribution feel even more special. Thank you 🩷

Thank you to Sarah and everyone on the project for a truly enriching and wonderful experience. This was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers and I couldn't have picked a better place! Sarah is a very warm, kind and caring person, she is very passionate about the work being done at the farm, and this really shines through to what they have achieved so far here. There was a real community feel here with all of the volunteers and those who worked for Sarah, I felt welcomed and safe from the beginning. I learnt lots of valuable skills and felt connected to nature.

It would be impossible to explain all the feelings that go through our hearts right now. Sarah is an excellent person with a huge heart, very patient and understanding. She is always open to listen and understand the needs of everyone, she has God as the main pillar of her life, and it was always very clear to us how much she loves this place that she cares for. Everything went much better than we expected, and we have nothing but thanks to Sarah. We will carry this experience and the people we met here in our hearts. Thank you Sarah.
