I spent 6 weeks in Villa de Leyva teaching with the school. It was a wonderful experience. The house for the teachers is really nice, and if you prefer peace + quiet like I do you will enjoy the location - about a 20-30 minute walk from the center of town. The town itself is lovely. I already miss it dearly. Anaïs is a wonderful person to work with. She is very understanding, should you have any questions/concerns, and also a warm presence that I am glad to have had the pleasure of meeting (like so many of the people I met in Villa).

My experience was great 🤍 I would really recommend if you want to be outside the caos of big cities for a while. the school, the house and the city are all nice. Anais is also very kind and dedicated.

My second experience as a volunteer. It was great, you get to know new people and also you get to learn so many things about yourself. The experience as a teacher was great, all my classes were individual which made it easier as a first experience in the teaching field. Apart from that, I could meet the other travellers from different corners of the world. It was great as I learn about other cultures and also from the great Colombian culture too. Anaïs was also so kind and helpful at all times.

Great experience to learn spanish and to practice your english. The school is a for-profit institution, so don't go there expecting you'll have a traditional social impact on the comunity. The infrastructure is great: the school has multiple rooms with bords, markers and books. The classes have usually one or two students at time - they're very polite and eager to learn. The city is tiny and very touristic - it's a beautiful place but if you are used to a lot happening, you can get bored. The owner and all of the teachers I've met were great people and many became real friends.

Esta fue mi segunda experiencia haciendo un voluntariado. Fue una muy linda experiencia, conocí otros voluntarios de distintas partes del mundo y pude disfrutar de la vida tranquila en Villa de Leyva. El lugar es lindísimo y viene muy bien si uno quiere descansar y conectar con la naturaleza. También me gustó ser parte del instituto y disfruté muchísimo de conocer las escuelas locales rurales :) Recomiendo la experiencia
