I had the loveliest time with Adelaida and Gustavo, and feel so grateful to have shared this experience with them. They are warm, welcoming and kind, and treat you like family. Adelaida is an incredible cook who spoiled me rotten, and Gustavo is hilarious. The work isn't easy, but it's incredibly rewarding, and both Adelaida and Gustavo worked twice as hard as I did. It was lovely to spend so much time outside and in their beautiful Finca, a lovely way to connect to nature if that's what you're looking for. It was a peaceful beautiful time, and I cannot recommend it enough!

I had a fantastic time in my stay with Adelaide and Gustavo. They made us feel like family and went out of their way to build a relationship with us that wasn't just us doing work. Beautiful people, beautiful property, beautiful experience :)

A perfect Worldpackers experience. Gacheta is small town in beautiful mountains, a two hour bus ride from Bogota. We spent two weeks with our delightful hosts, the effervescent Gustavo (thank you for the for being so helpful and informative), Adeleda (thank you for the wonderful meals and postres! ) and Enes (thank you for the extra help with translation). We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Our Spanish improved, we learned about the lovely local food and we were inspired by the connection to nature of our hosts.

Fabulous experience. On arrival we were greeted by a former volunteer, Enes, who had remained friends with Adelaida and Gustavo and had returned to stay with them. It was great to have Enes here because he was able to fill in the gaps when our Spanish failed us. Gustavo and Adelaida have so much energy, are full of fun and made so much effort to make sure we enjoyed the experience and improved our Spanish. The food was always amazing, delicious juices and deserts, and we learnt about Colombian culture and permaculture . Lovely family, lovely experience, lovely memories. Thank you so much.
