The experience at Hostal la granja is really unique, it offers you a quiet space, surrounded by nature, fruit trees, vegetables, animals; it’s a little piece of paradise. The activities are really simple and enriching, they give you the opportunity to learn about crops, environmental care and respect for nature. Juan (the host) is an excellent human being, he is a person who transmits joy and tranquility, communication with him was always good, the treatment was kind and always willing to help, Hostal la granja is a place I have to return to!

My volunteering at Hostal the farm was calm and pleasant. Juan is a host with great energy, respectful, communicative and flexible. The routine is quiet: feeding the animals and cleaning the common areas. In addition, he proposes improvement projects on the farm to be carried out together and gives full freedom to help in the garden, composting or art and decoration, according to the volunteer's interests.
Since Juan is very open to ideas, it's the perfect place for someone who is creative, likes manual work and values autonomy, nature, authenticity, and local culture. I highly recommend!

I loved the experience!!! I would only recommend coming on tourist dates so that there are more people staying, otherwise you may spend a lot of time alone at the finca; besides that the finca is beautiful, the tasks are very fun and friendly, people feel like family and you will fall in love with the animals, muneca in particular!! the town is simple and very pretty, always bring cash

El Carmen is a nice place, close to several communities that can be visited. The place is safe and full of nature.
Every day we were assigned tasks and, since there were two people in charge, they sometimes had different objectives. At first we were told to manage our hours; we realized it was easier and clearer if we covered our hours in a single block. Their method of work consisted of sending photos at the start and end of each activity. The activities included cleaning tasks where we had to request bags and soap.

My experience at Hostal la granja was very enriching. I had the opportunity to share with wonderful people, connect with nature, and immerse myself in the local culture. The tasks were as agreed and the timelines were respected. I learned a lot about agroecology and history. Juan and Nat are excellent hosts. They are always willing to accompany, converse, and teach new things. Their energy makes each volunteer's experience unforgettable.✨💜

My volunteering experience was amazing, everything agreed upon was fulfilled. Juan gave me a lot of clarity from the beginning and creative freedom that I will always be grateful for. I felt his active listening to all my ideas. The hostel felt like home and the project an inspiration. Juan makes you feel welcome; he is a great person and a leader. Nat, from the care team, accompanies everything with love and wisdom. The lodging is very cozy and full of guavas. Beyond the work, it is a place to open the soul with nature and new friends. Thank you, Juan, for letting me be with my creativity and my creative threads.

One of the best volunteer experiences I've had! I am immensely grateful to have met the Finca de la granja, Juan, and Nath — Minister of Culture haha (the best hosts ✨!). The schedules were kept, the activities were light, and the people were wonderful.
Juan, I am immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to meet such special beings. I carry them with me in every gesture and I hope they continue for many, many years with this beautiful project ❤️
