Lidia and Manuel are kind. They don't actually live there at the finca. They don't have any kind of schedule so you just do your work not knowing when you will see them. I was hoping for more of a community based situation working together. The accommodations are very rustic, disorganized and not clean. One uncomfortable mattress. Bugs at night. Cooking over a fire. That said, I enjoyed many aspects of my stay but I left early. My daughter and I were Wwoof hosts for four years and tried to give a family experience. In time Lidia and Manuel will get the hang of it!

Vivir en la finca es una experiencia que debes vivir si te interesa mucho el campo, la interacción con la naturaleza y el sumergirte en un reto mucho muy grande para aprender a vivir y adaptarte a condiciones mucho más limitadas de recursos para abastecerte. Sin embargo, hay algunas cuestiones por mejorar, pero el proyecto tiene un gran potencial de cambio que se irá mejorando poco a poco.

Hello Juan, thank you very much for your review. I would like to know a little more about what you mean by limited conditions.

Doña Lidia es una anfitriona fantástica, siempre atenta y pendiente de las necesidades y lo que ocupes. el alojamiento es un lugar donde puedes aprender muchísimo. Si lo tuyo es desconectarte de la ciudad, trabajar la tierra, cocinar tu comida a leña y vivir con animalitos es perfecto para ti. Las tareas no son difíciles y Doña Lidia siempre esta enseñando y apoyando. El lugar es hermoso y perfecto para conectarte contigo mismo.
