I loved staying at Willy’s and Catalina’s farm, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to work, learn Spanish, and learn about nature in Colombia. Catalina made sure that you felt very welcome at the farm with filling food, coffee and board games at night, and Willy was very welcoming and great at including you in the work, and the future of the farm. You felt important while you were there, and they let you take responsibility on the farm, which felt nice. After working you could take walks in the area, or you could go to Mistrado, a small town nearby. 10/10!!

The volunteering at the "the farm" was one of the best volunteering I did in my life. Cata & Willy are such a lovely couple, who do their job with passion. I learned so much about coffee, fruits, bees & the region. And besides this I could improve my Spanish a lot, because they tried to speak a nice Spanish with me. It really felt like a home and I was sad to leave. Big recommendation for everyone!

My experience at the farm was very special. It was fun, interesting and educational. I learned so much about the coffee process and got to experienced many different tasks around the farm including working with coffee, corn, bees, carbon and the vegetables garden. Willy and Catalina were unbelievably kind and welcoming, and did their best to explain everything in a clear, patient way. I felt like I found a home in the mountains of Colombia. If you are looking for a place with nature, coffee, the cutest dogs and amazing people, this is the place for you.
