Casa cascada

A full nature immersion on the mountainside above San Rafael, Antioquia Colombia. Green, lush, bright birds, monkeys, swimming holes, waterfalls, fruit trees to pick from, caring for animals, growing plants and community with other volunteers from around the world in a house with hot water, strong wifi, super comfy mattresses, and a full kitchen are all reasons to come stay with us. The bridge over the river to get to our finca is too narrow for cars to pass. The result is tranquility like you can't imagine.

We love our volunteers. We give them all the basic foods they need to stay full and provide an environment to both disappear into nature and also stay connected if they have a digital job or other online obligations or research and communication goals. We also offer flexible work hours to integrate into your current schedule. Sometimes I can't be there due to other business needs, so I manage remotely during those times. This creates a lot of independent work which is great for some and can be challenging for others. Also note that while we try to immerse you in Spanish, it seems that usually the default language is English b/c that's what most volunteers know. Whenever requested, we have "Spanish only" time.

La casa cascada est un endroit très tranquille et Nico est disponible à tout moment malgré le fait qu’il ne soit pas sur le lieu. Chacun peut etre à son rythme quant aux taches à faire et s’y retrouver pour faire ce qu’il lui plait ou ce qu’il veut apprendre. On ne manque de rien, mais il faut savoir que les repas sont sans viandes). Tres bonne expérience dans ce lieu très reposant et entouré de cascades et forets.

Great experience for being off the hype for a while. Its a lovely colombian "casita" with everything you need to live, nothing more, nothing less. Be ready to see lots of birds, nice rivers and natural pools. Since only motorcycles arrive to this destination, the tranquility of the place is immeasurable. The closest grocerie store is about 1 hr walk, or 20 minute moto ride. In this experience you can learn a lot about sustainability, and living off the grid. Nico the host is not always there, so he encourages people to be proactive and to have iniciative.

La estadía en Casa Cascada fue muy buena.
Se realizaron diferentes tareas, darles de comer a los caballos, vacas y peces, hacer un drenaje francés, ordenar depósito, hacer unas patas a la mesa de pingpong y mas cosas.
Se disfruto del lugar muy tranquilo y lleno de naturaleza.
Nico es flexible con los horarios y te podes organizar tu dia como tu quieras.
Fue una buena experiencia, gracias.

From the two weeks I spent in San Rafael, Nicolas joined us for about three and a half days. He usually communicates and navigates tasks over Whatsapp, so it was nice to have him be physically present; the vision of the place and projects seemed more clear in person. He’s open to new ideas. The work is quite demanding, mostly manual. Expect to sweat every day and get your hands dirty.
I wish there would be a wider selection of food for cooking
In some areas I would appreciate a bit more leadership and organisation, but all and all Nicolas was a good and fun host (big plus for the lovely pool)

A beautiful place surrounded by forest. Expect an adventurous motorcycle ride to get there. You can truly get into touch with nature and it's rhythms. Do a sweaty day's work and a then take a refreshing swim in the lovely waterfall pool. See tiny monkeys and cool lizards. Although Nicolas cannot be there physically present all the time, he was well available through WhatsApp to brainstorm with us and instruct us on the work at hand. It was a lovely communal experience; we cooked, did dishes and cleaned in turns. On free days we walked to the town, and to the lovely nearby Cascada Honda.
