Had two great weeks at the project! It's a nice place to lean back and relax while connecting with nature. Carlos and his parents are so welcoming, and want you to have the best stay possible. You also get to try lots of homemade typical colombian food, which is a big plus! I will say that I would recommend knowing some basic spanish before coming here, as the family and the community around only speak spanish. However Carlos speaks some english, and you can always just use Google Translate. Overall a great experience!

This experience was awesome! Carlos and his family are very kind and welcoming, they meet you where you're at and help you make the most of your experience. The working hours are respected and Carlos is super open to any questions and collaboration. I would highly recommend this experience to any volunteer! La Vaca...Moo:)

Carlos and his family are so kind!
We stayed here two weeks, the work was definitely hard, but 100% worth it. By volunteering here you will truly see Colombian culture and feel welcomed into these guys’ home. I recommend for any traveller. Whether that is solo or in a couple!

We had a truly amazing experience at the project. Carlos and his family are so welcoming and hospitable and were super patient with our terrible Spanish skills. The work can be hard at times but you are rewarded with delicious home cooked meals and the most beautiful place to relax. It is only a 50 minute walk into town along quiet country trails with regular buses back making grocery shopping or going out for dinner easy, and Ubala was easy to get to from Bogota. I'd reccomend this opportunity to anyone solo or partners the family are super welcoming and safe 😊

The project are just a beautiful place inhabited by loving people and beautiful animals (dogs and cats)! I can highly recommend people to come here and feel the nature. Carlos and his parents Gladyz and Pedro are living and expanding their homestay with campsites and breathtaking views - you should come and help them. The work can be physical but it's rewarding and you can always contribute with own ideas :)

Had an amazing time, first experience with world packers and couldn't recommend it more. Carlos, Pedro & Gleydiz were so welcoming and kind. The food which was prepared for our meals was always so tasty, the work hours were as an agreed, hard but very rewarding work. The location itself is beyond beautiful in the Mountains outside of Bogota, with plenty of walks and fresh air. I hope to come back again in the future, not a single complaint. Thank you to the host for an incredible experience.

This peaceful farm in the Colombian mountains is the perfect volunteer spot. We worked five hours daily and had the rest of the day to relax or explore. The air is fresh, the views are stunning, and the gardens offer great spots to unwind. The buildings are full of beautiful art, and Wi-Fi and amenities are excellent. Carlos, Gleydiz, and Pedro are warm and welcoming, and the animals are adorable. The property is close to nearby towns, a waterfall, and a lagoon. Just a few hours from Bogotá, I'll definitely return!

Spending some time in the project has been an amazing experience. Carlos, Gleydiz and Don Pedro are incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the very beginning. The views are stunning and the food we were given was always delicious. There are plenty of spaces to relax around the finca after work in the morning, as well as areas to explore nearby (waterfall, magic tree, green lagoon and villages of Ubalá, Gachetá and Gachala). Another plus are the really friendly cats and dogs on the farm that were so nice to be around too :) Could not recommend this position enough!

I had good experience. Carlos is very friendly host, he has some lovely pets. The tasks were simple, although be prepared for some hard work. The farm is a peaceful place close to the nature.
