I loved my experience at the project!! I loved being able to work outside and learn new skills. The work was not too difficult but also not boring at all. Juan, Zara and Andrei were great hosts and made all us volunteers feel so welcomed in their community. I also loved being able to work with other volunteers and share the experience with them. During the afternoons, we had free time to explore the surrounding waterfalls, river and nearby farms. A amazing place to unplug and connect with others. Would definitely recommend!

Ashlyn is calm, cautious and can easily adapt. She has a good sense of humor. We loved sharing with her. We hope she finds great places in Colombia. We recommend her 100%.

It was a really nice trip. At first the communication was quite difficult and there were a few misunderstandings but it's all a learning curve and towards the end of my stay I felt much more confident in my Spanish. It's a beautiful location, great food and really lovely hosts. A LOT of mosquitos! It was so rewarding learning about different aspects of permaculture so I highly recommend as long as you have at least an intermediate level of Spanish!

The location is perfect if you want to be close to nature. Working hours are in the morning, you have to add time to clean the dishes sometimes and also cooking dinner so if you are the only volunteer, you'll be of chore every night. In the afternoons you can go hiking in the jungle. That's fab! Sadly, I did not connect really well with the hosts : I was the only volunteer (their nephew was there too, working and cooking) and I felt it was more like they needed workforce than meeting and sharing with new people. Don't forget to bring long pants and long sleeves

My experience was great. The work instructions were always clear and the work was chilled. I got to learn about permaculture and planting. The food was amazing, and I also got the chance to get some recepies from Zara. It is also the perfect place to practice your spanish, but Juan was kind enough to translate me some things in English.

The experience at the project was magical. This place offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. The hosts and volunteers felt like family. The genuine connection and support from everyone create a truly unforgettable experience, a journey of self-discovery and nature connection. Also there were a lot of mosquitoes around so come prepared. Zara, Juan and Andreu thank you so much for the experience!
