Te invitamos a compartir nuestra vida en el campo, en una finca familiar donde los caballos, el idioma español y la naturaleza te acompañarán cada día.
Aquí no hay rutinas estrictas ni relojes apurados. Solo el ritmo de los animales, la tierra, personas y cultura.
Tu ayuda será muy valorada y parte esencial de la vida en la finca. Sin embargo, una de las bellezas de este voluntariado es que tendrás tiempo libre. Aquí no se trata de estar ocupado todo el día, sino de encontrar un equilibrio entre ayudar, aprender, descansar y disfrutar del entorno.
También puedes salir a explorar Tenjo por tu cuenta. El pueblo tiene mucho por ofrecer y es fácil moverse de forma independiente.

We invite you to share our life in the countryside, on a family farm where horses, the Spanish language, and nature will be part of your everyday life.
There are no strict routines or rushed schedules here — only the rhythm of the animals, the land, the people, and the culture.
Your help will be truly appreciated and will become an essential part of life on the farm. But one of the best things about this volunteer experience is that you’ll also have free time. It’s not about being busy all day, but about finding a balance between helping, learning, resting, and enjoying your surroundings.
You’re also welcome to explore Tenjo on your own. The town has a lot to offer, and it’s easy to get around independently.
Esperamos tu colaboración unas 20-25 horas a la semana, repartidas según el ritmo del lugar y de los animales. Algunas de las tareas incluyen:
• Alimentar y cuidar a los caballos
• Limpiar establos y mantener los espacios donde viven los animales
• Jardinería básica y cuidado del entorno natural
• Ayuda en pequeñas construcciones o arreglos (cercas, comederos, etc.)
• Acompañarnos a mover animales de un espacio a otro
• Estar presente en visitas veterinarias, si coinciden durante tu estadía
• Participar en la dinámica diaria del campo y la casa

Condiciones de Salud y Trabajo
Los voluntarios deben gozar de buena salud y no tener enfermedades contagiosas. Tenga en cuenta que la atención médica más cercana está a al menos 30 minutos, y en la finca solo se dispone de un botiquín de primeros auxilios. Aunque la finca promueve el intercambio cultural, se espera que los voluntarios actúen con discreción y mantengan una actitud respetuosa al interactuar con los empleados locales.
Riesgos con Caballos y Otros Animales
Montar a caballo y manejar ganado son actividades de alto riesgo. Los voluntarios que participen en estas actividades lo hacen bajo su propia responsabilidad. Finca El Pilar de las 3Z no se hace responsable por accidentes o lesiones.
Seguro
Los voluntarios deben contar con un seguro contra accidentes con cobertura amplia durante toda su estancia en Colombia.
