Amazing experience learning about coffee and sugar cane farming! Totally different to everything else I've done on my travels. Really enjoyed myself!

This was my first place to volunteer in Perú. I recommend it for the warm attitude and understanding of Victor and his family, and the variety of activities. The communication was just in Spanish and helped me in my continuous process of practicing and improving it. This place made me accomplish the dream of working with organic coffee - going through all the steps of processing it. There were various activities almost all days, like it is usually in a family farm - processing cane, constructions, cooking, etc. I was happy with the family sharing the village fiesta, walks, and motorbike class!

Staying in this farm was one of the best experiences and volunteer work that I did until now. Victor and his family really welcomed me. You fill part of the family. The work in the farm is very diverse, depending what time of the year you are there, but there is always things to do. Victor is a very peaceful and friendly person that will teach you and explain everything you need to know and with a enormous paciente (he is really a very good person). And you have an extra of going to do some trekking going to waterfalls nearby the farm. I truly truly recommend staying in this farm! 💛🙏

Pasé 2 lindas semanas con Víctor y su familia. Me sentí muy bien y incluido en la familia. Pusé discubrir muchas cosas diferentes sobre su finca. A Víctor le gusta compartir y mostrar su trabajo. Fue un verdadero placer de ayudar en la finca y fueron dos semanas muy cortas ! El lugar ed muy lindo también ! Gracias por todo y hasta luego !
