It was an amazing experience. Caren is the sweetest host I ever met. We had the opportunity of meeting her family and know more aboutcolombian history and culture. The place is beautiful and peaceful, the dogs are adorable. Great opportunity to learn and relax

These days at the farm's house were incredible, I learned so much, I had the opportunity to improve my Spanish, Caren is an environmental engineer and has a lot of knowledge to share about sustainability and Colombian culture. The atmosphere of the house is peaceful and tranquil. Her family and her dogs are great company. I highly recommend it!

Volunteering at Mecitas was a very beautiful experience. Caren is a wonderful person, as is Mrs. Adelina. Everything we agreed on was fulfilled. The company I had was amazing: the three pets Kyra, Negra and Luna, three truly lovely little dogs.

The place is very welcoming and the people are very kind; everyone is willing to help you if you need anything. There are plenty of fruits in the house; the mangoes fall by themselves! I highly recommend it; it's a beautiful place and you won't regret anything. Caren is an extraordinary person, she teaches a lot and loves flowers.
