Juan provided us with a lovely place to stay and with good quality home cooked food. The tasks were varied and different each day and the area was very nice for when we had free time to relax.
I sometimes found it difficult to communicate with Juan this is mainly because of my poor Spanish but I would recommend this more to people with better Spanish levels

The tasks were varied, we helped to use materials Juan had available to improve the cabins and develop the space for a new cabin. We also made arepas from scratch which we took into Medellin to trade for fresh produce. The breakfast and lunch provided were tasty and showcased local meals and ingredients well. It was a true Spanish immersion so it would help to brush up on specific construction vocabulary beforehand. The accommodation was private and included a comfy bed. The bathroom was modern and relatively private but didn't have hot water yet, this was only available in Juan's bathroom.

Este anfitrión es muy amable y confiable. Me quedé aquí dos semanas y me sentí muy a gusto. El maestro me enseñó a tocar la guitarra con mucha paciencia. Además, el lugar era cómodo, e incluso me llevó al centro de Medellín para conocer la ciudad. El cociné muy bien

Una experiencia que me lleno de paz, y de nuevos conocimientos, compartir con los locales, disfrutar de la naturaleza, la experiencia de elaborar arepas, Donuts, las cuáles luego llevamos a la plaza minoristas, experiencia que solo este anfitrión realiza en el pais, el día sin dinero, que es un practica muy especial y productivo de intercambiar y dar a conocer como el elabora sus productos orgánicos, Juan del bosque mostró dedicación y entrega en este proyecto, que estoy segura que con la colaboración de cada uno de nosotros los voluntarios, cada espacio tendrá más avanza en cada espacio.

Honestly my experience was limited since i spent most of it recovering from an illness :(( but Juan was largely nice about that! it is quite a lot colder in Santa Elena than Medellín or other parts of Colombia so check the weather and bring warm clothes

I really enjoyed my stay at Juan del Bosque. I felt very welcomed into the community there - even with my very basic Spanish. Juan taught me some Spanish through sharing songs in Spanish and teaching me the meanings of the lyrics. We spent some evenings singing with the guitar which was really fun and a unique way to learn! We also went to the market where Juan exchanged churros for food - I couldn't believe how much food he managed to exchange! It was a great experience, the tasks were sometimes challenging but he was flexible in when these were completed in the day.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Granja Juan del Bosque. Juan is a very warm, welcoming and adaptable host that cares for your well-being and likes to teach spanish. Work is mostly easy and laid-back but can be physical at times. The farm is situated in a really peaceful and quiet environment and you'll meet many locals of the community surrounding the farm and get a unique opportunity to learn about the culture and their way of life, which is an extremely enriching experience. The meals are delicious, traditional and authentic as most ingredients come directly from the farm.

Juan es una persona muy bacana y muy tranqui como host, muy servicial y la comida bien rica, siempre pregunta como fue la noche y que tal en la estadía, y que le gustaría hacer en el día para trabajar, hay una comunicación abierta y respetuosa y la estadía en la montaña es muy tranquila, se aprecian esos momentos de desconexión y conexionarme con la naturaleza.

Our host met us at the airport and had arranged our 45 minute drive. I should have mentioned to him that I get motion sickness on windy roads. The views were amazing and the way to Juan's property along a steep incline was memorable. It's best to be fit to volunteer there. I love the creativity involved in using local materials and reusing everything, thanks to Juan. I also accompanied him on his barter day where he traded bread and baked goods for fresh market produce. That was awesome!
