I had an amazing time at Finca Armonía and recommend the experience to anyone comfortable with simple, semi off grid living and wanting to connect with nature. Host Nick was very welcoming, generous, knowledgeable and tasks and working hours were as described. We shared many interesting conversations and some activities together including visiting Zamora, nearby cloud forest (which is breathtaking), playing board games, sitting around a fire and even taking an ice bath! Thanks again for having us and wishing you all the best with your inspiring lifelong project and lifestyle!

It was an incredible experience spending these days at the farm. The place is fantastic, high in the mountains and surrounded by rivers and beautiful waterfalls. We were able to hike and explore Finca Monay National Park. Nicholas is very welcoming and kind; we were able to share good experiences and learn more about his way of life. The work was easy, and we were able to help maintain the path to his house. I recommend it to all travelers as it's an immersive experience in nature.
