I cannot recommend Lilian's sanctuary enough. I stayed for two weeks and the experience has fundamentally changed my perspective by helping me to focus on the basics and find deeper meaning in my behaviour and interests. Spending time with Lilian taught me that relaxing and connecting with nature is the key to confronting yourself. Lilian has two rescues horses, five lovely dogs, and five wonderful cats. This is more than just a horse sanctuary, this is an animal haven on beautiful land in rural Mexico. Here, you'll connect with locals and get a true Yucatán experience. Can't wait to return!

A truly an experience in all the senses. Lilian was so welcoming and down to earth. Volunteers need to expect a simple place but it's in progress. It is a community feel and you all help out with cooking and the shopping and the jobs needed on the land. The two horses are amazing, Aquiles and Moro, the care they receive is to become free horses again and they are looked after with such love and respect which you learn. The are rescued cats and dogs and the village is close enough to walk but you still feel in nature and can disconnect. It is a sanctuary not just for horses but people too💙💙

My Experience was amazing, I learned a lot about, plants, the culture in Yucatán,food, holistic therapies and of course horses. Lilian is a very hard working and amazing woman, and her project is very inspiring and is growing. She has a big love for hoses and nature and she is happy to share that and teach you a lot. The horses got deep into my heart they're are just amazing and beautiful creatures Charlie, Aleph and Aquiles are very loyal and friendly, of course each one has their own personality. Is a hard work, but totally worth it, if you love nature and animals this is for you♡

Lillian and Aquilles (the horse) are wonderful! Both beings have much to offer in the ways of strengthening intuition and personal power. I gained skills in leadership with Aquilles, and understood more how to care for a horse in a reciprocal way. I got to improve my Spanish as well. Her home is just far enough away from town to feel peaceful, and she lives in accordance with the weather. Its rugged, wild, and beautiful. What a unique place! i recommend staying 10-25 days.and take a day to see the cenotes! the work was a little unclear,but left time to find inspiration and initiative! healing
