Claverito is beautiful, surrounded by nature and with perfect spaces to contemplate the lake, the landscape, and to walk through the forest. Fernando made the experience even more special with cultural exchange, wonderful camaraderie with the volunteers and the family, and unique moments such as sound therapy (I appreciate the gift), dawn in Villavicencio, and Sunday lunch with his family and friends. The vegetarian food was excellent and broadened my palate a lot (Thank you!). Fernando teaches very well, he was always welcoming, and I appreciate his advice about Villavicencio and Bogotá. I highly recommend it ⭐

Fernando is amazing. My wife and I, who are Cariocas, went to Villavicencio and discovered something more than a volunteer program, something much more than a simple exchange. We made friends, had very interesting conversations, and the place… truly, it is beautiful: very natural, with animals we had never seen before.

The work is calm and the lunch is very good (although I personally love a good piece of meat 😄). But anyway, we really liked Fernando and we were very happy to meet a person who goes beyond being just a host.

My time at the proyeto was full of learning, I always felt very comfortable and Fernando was willing to teach us with patience and good vibes. Thank you very much to Fer and his family for making me feel at home. The food was spectacular :) and the place is beautiful. Huge thanks to the proyeto <3

The proyeto is a magical place and a lot of learning. Time flew by. Every day I learned something new, I laughed a lot, and I shared with incredible people. From the first day Fercho and Diana made me feel part of them.
Fer is a very beautiful person and passionate about permaculture. He was always attentive to make sure everything was fine, teaching every step and resolving all my questions with patience and love.
The food was delicious, the tasks were beautiful and varied, and the company of Ama and her babies was a gift. I leave very grateful to have been here, thanks to the proyeto <3

La experiencia en el proyeto fue maravillosa. Fernando el anfitrión; es una persona que está siempre en disposición de enseñar y acompañar las labores designadas. Además, está atento a cada aspecto relacionado al bienestar de los voluntarios desde la comida deliciosa, el lugar de descanso, los espacios de trabajo y las herramientas necesarias. Sin duda es un lugar y una persona con la que estás en constante aprendizaje. A todo esto se suma la compañía de Ama, sus cachorras y Ruquito que llenaron mis días de mucho amor. No podría haber tenido un mejor primer voluntariado, gracias por tanto.
