I really enjoyed my experience on the farm! I was harvesting coffee and cacao, learned how to do arepas and one day we were preparing fertilizer for the coffee trees which was really interesting :) The room was really cozy and everyone on the finca was nice and welcoming, Dona Libia is really funny and explained me everything I wanted to know even though she is pretty busy.

From the moment you cross the door of the farm, they make you feel like part of the family. Everyone there is very willing to help you learn and include you into any activity. Doña Libia is so hard-working and yet finds time to share long conversations with you and invite you to the different events she organizes or participates in. Very warm and enriching stay.

Where to begin, my experience at the farm was incredible what a beautiful place. Dona Libia is such a caring soul, she's there to make sure you make the most of your time, learn and soak everything in. You'll feel completely disconnected from the busyness of the outside world la finca has an energy that recharges you. Come with the expectation of living an authentic experience in “el campo” and pleaseeee wear lots of bug spray and or long sleeves even if you don't “feel” like they're biting you hahaha learn from my mistakes

A special place! Libia, Michael and the farm family are extremely kind people who truly appreciate the work the volunteers do. They are grateful for any work the volunteer does but always make sure you can rest or enjoy your time in the area whenever you wish. I always felt valued. The accommodation is basic by Western standards, but you have everything you need and are well looked after. My Spanish is basic so I perhaps did not learn so much about the farm's processes as others, but I still learnt so much. Muchisimo gracias a Libia y a todas! Ps, good insect repellent is a must!

This experience was incredible. The host family is amazing. They are very helpful and supportive; excellent teachers and so passionate about their work and life in the farming community. They treat the volunteers like family. The farm is in a beautiful location. My Spanish is relatively basic and it worked but I definitely would not recommend to someone who does not have any Spanish.
