I had a really fun time and the farm! Juan is super nice and the atmosphere is very chill. I met some amazing people during my stay, but sadly Juan isn't around that much. It's is a cool project and the impact you can have is noticable pretty quickly. Unfortunaly the description is not completely accurate: we worked 6 days à 2-3 hours so we didn't have the written 3 days off. Also there are no "official" spanish courses or tours. We did get three meals despite the description saying only 2.

The place is beautiful and the project has potential. Communication and organization could be improved. Juan was kind and open to feedback but wasn't very present during the week. The work was light, and I appreciated the other volunteers. Overall an interesting experience — just be aware it gets quite cold at night.

Very laid back, tasks are done by your own accord. The chickens were fun also having fresh herbs and great food being cooked was tasty. Main down side was there was no hot water and it's cold all year round.

Muchas gracias por un gran experiencia! Juan introduced me around the place and thought me about plantations! The work time was flexible and very relaxing with a lot of nature. Also every meal was very good and Juan even made us a pizza with the ingredients from his vegetable garden. I really enjoyed a week spending there with amazing people! I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to connect with locals and natures:)

Had a lovely stay at Juans Granja! Felt very warm welcomed from the first day on! Juan explained me everything on his farm and also let me chose what I wanted to do. He also encouraged me in extending my Spanish skills. We also had a lovely day at the mercado central where Juan introduced me in his special project by sharing and trade homemade croissants with fresh vegetables and connecting with locals! If you search for some time off, enjoying the purest type of nature this place is definitely the right one. Again, michas gracias por todo!😊😊

This was an enlightening and gratifying experience. I had an unapparelled time and will definitely return soon. Juan del Bosque is an excellent person and host! Everything was as described and more! I felt very comfortable and warmly invited from the beginning. Juan truly opens his home and his life for his guests to share. I can't overemphasize the safety, security, and acceptance felt by being with locals. You'll meet a very cool community, not just an individual for a project. I learned so much about nature and the indigenous culture. It's a life expanding experience! Mil Gracias

Juan is a really sweet and kind host - he cooked amazing food for us every day and was very accommodating when we wanted to go into town to make sure we still had a packed lunch or something to eat :) we loved meeting him and spending time together, plus learning about the farm and permaculture. The farm is an amazing project and you will always have something to do, but the day to day is quite relaxed. Note: la Granja is about 1.5 hours from Medellin via public transport but taxis are reasonable at around 40,000 pesos each way.

La Granja Juan del Bosque es un lugar encantador que destaca no solo por su belleza natural, sino también por la calidez y dedicación de su anfitrión, Juan. Desde el momento de mi llegada, Juan se mostró increíblemente amable y acogedor, tomándose el tiempo necesario para explicarme en detalle de qué se trata su proyecto. Aunque mi estancia fue breve, logré aprender muchísimo sobre las diferentes técnicas y métodos que Juan ha estado implementando en los últimos años para mantener y mejorar su granja. Gracias por todo!

I had a great time here. I got to spend a lot of time with locals learning about their culture and practicing Spanish. There is a very laid back vibe here and there is some very nice forests and plants and animals nearby.
