The Experience

Han pasado dos años desde que nuestra Finca-Hostal abrió sus puertas. Hemos recibido a más de 30 colaboradores de diversas partes del mundo y, junto a ellos, hemos construido un horno, huertas y un gallinero. Gracias a la ayuda de viajeros, seguimos mejorando. Ahora, lanzamos una "Residencia Creativa" para embellecer y potenciar nuestro hogar. Buscamos Viajeros Ingeniosos y creativos que nos ayuden a pintar murales, crear contenido y decorar

La experiencia en hostal la granja es realmente única, te brinda un espacio tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza, arboles frutales, vegetales, animales; es un pedacito de paraiso. Las actividades son realmente sencillas y enriquecedoras, te brinda la oportunidad de aprender sobre cultivos, el cuidado del medio ambiente y el respeto por la naturaleza. Juan (el anfitrion) es un excelente ser humano, es una persona que transmite alegria y tranquilidad, la comunicación con él fue siempre buena, el trato fue amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, Hostal la granja es un lugar al que tengo que volver!

Meu voluntariado no Hostal the farm foi sossegado e agradável. O Juan é um anfitrião de ótima energia, respeitoso, comunicativo e flexível. A rotina é tranquila: alimentar os bichos e limpar as áreas comuns. Além disso, ele propõe projetos de melhoria na finca para serem executados em conjunto e dá total liberdade para ajudar na horta, compostagem ou arte e decoração, de acordo com os interesses do voluntário. Como o Juan é super aberto a ideias, é o lugar perfeito para quem é criativo, gosta de trabalhos manuais e valoriza autonomia, natureza, autenticidade e a cultura local. Recomendo muito!

Me encantó la experiencia!!! Recomendaría solo venir en fechas turísticas para que haya más gente hospedada, de lo contrario quizá pases mucho tiempo solo en la finca; fuera de eso la finca es preciosa, las tareas son muy divertidas y amables, la gente se siente como familia y te vas a enamorar de los animales, muneca en especifico!! el pueblo es sencillo y muy bonito, trae efectivo siempre

El Carmen es un lugar bonito con cercanía a varios públicos que se pueden visitar. El lugar es seguro y lleno de naturaleza. Cada día se nos asignaban las tareas y al ser dos personas encargadas, en ocasiones tenían objetivos distintos. Al principio se nos planteó administrar nuestra horas, nos dimos cuenta que era más sencillo y claro si cubríamos nuestras horas en un solo bloque. Su método de trabajo consistía en enviar fotos al empezar y terminar cada actividad. Las actividades incluían tareas de limpieza donde teníamos que pedir bolsas y jabón.
