I absolutely loved my time at Finca Sagrada. Klara is such an incredible host and Spanish teacher. The town of Jericó is truly a hidden gem. Being on the farm for a week was a wonderful way to relax during my travels. I loved the cabin we stayed in and all the meals. The work expectations were very reasonable and enjoyable. Absolutely would recommend this opportunity to other travelers looking for a rustic finca experience and to improve their Spanish. Thank you so much!

I can highly recommend volunteering at the farm to anyone who is looking to improve their Spanish while at the same time getting to know the local culture and enjoying the beautiful Colombian campo. Klara and her family are super kind, open-minded and welcoming. Hours were respected, the work was fun, the Spanish classes were very helpful and Klara was super accommodating. It really was an amazing experience overall. Thank you for everything! :)

I had an amazing time with Klara and her family at the farm. All hours were as previously agreed and the Spanish lessons were very rewarding. The accommodation was basic but very comfortable and I enjoyed the food a lot. We were able to meet other locals and understand their mission against mining in the area. As well as accompanying Saila to the local the farm to practice English with them. Overall I'd really recommend this opportunity to advance your Spanish and understand more about the farm and the Jerico region!

Highly recommended! Klara and her family are very welcoming and the finca is located on a beautiful piece of land that makes the work on the farm fields even more special. We had different tasks around the farm, everything was well explained and easy to understand and do. Klara's cooking is amazing, we were so well fed throughout the week and able to taste the amazing the farm. The Spanish classes were super knowledgeable and I learned a lot, got more confident in talking. The town is not far from the finca, too. Jerico is beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

I honestly had a lovely time at the finca and was sad to leave at the end of the week. Klara and Augustin truly build something special and it really shows how passionate they are about sustainable living and the local community. The work was quite flexible and a 2-way conversation (Klara is definitely not a micro manager). Also the Spanish classes were very helpful for me as a beginner. The highlight for me was when Klara organised for couple of us to go to the local the farm her son attends.We also did many activities that week like a waterfall hike, visiting a local museum, even paragliding.

I had such an amazing time at Finca Sagrada! I learned a lot about the farm farming and how to live on a farm in the mountains of Colombia. It's the most beautiful place and the family is amazing. I'd really recommend this! The work can be a little hard sometimes , cause the hill with the farm trees is quite steep, but it's great workout and really rewarding. Also remember repellent!

My stay at the farm was absolutely beautiful! The place is so peaceful and has amazing views and felt like a home very soon! Klara and her family were very nice and welcoming hosts and the dogs and goats are adding up to the warmth of the finca! The work was hard at times but definetlely felt balanced as well and meanwhile we also learnt so much about the farm plantation. Also big plus for Jerico being the cutest village of Colombia;)Thank you so much Klara🧡

Klara and her family live in a beautiful place surrounded by nature, where you immediately feel welcome. You learn a lot about sustainable and healthy living and enjoy an everyday life close to nature. Klara is a great host, very warm, supportive and also very flexible. The Spanish lessons were very helpful, interesting and fun. The work is sometimes hard, but it's enjoyable and feels meaningful. Delicious food, lovely excursions, dogs and goats, and Klara's adorable and funny son make the experience special. Overall, it was a very positive and thoroughly recommendable time.

My time at Finca Sagrada was good! The tasks are simple and the farm is in a beautiful setting. Expect to do manual labor/basic gardening. Klara adapted the Spanish classes to match skill level so I ended up having one on one classes which was appreciated. They also give you plenty of recommendations on things to do or places to go!
