It was a great experience! The farm is in a beautiful natural area. We learned a lot about the farm beans and were able to do many different tasks. We got 4 delicious meals a day and everyone was really friendly!

This is a great place to really get to know the Colombian culture and also about the farm and how important it is to the community! I learned a lot with Miguel and the whole family and you can tell that he really likes to teach, so enjoy that! I felt very welcomed by everyone and had a lot of fun!

I had such a good time! <3 The opportunity I got to learn about the farm, chocolate, nature, living and working on a farm was more than I expected. For me it was immersion in the culture in the countryside of colombia. I have grown so fond of the family and they welcomed me so warmly, giving me insight into their daily lives. The work and knowledge of Miguel and Sergio is really good and valuable, and an honor to get to know it. I am very greatful and recommend this experience to anybody seeking the pure and willing to dive in. (And to practice spanish obviously ;))

It was AWESOME. The most peaceful i've felt in my.entore life. when i had a problem the whole entire family went out of their way to solve it. the dogs, the kindness from the family anf all who were at the farm. it was an awesome experience and later down the line when my spanish is better i hope tp return if possible! i will say i didn't da lot, but it provided an AMAZING opportunity to connect with myself. everything was calm everyday. my only qualm is the bathroom& shower wassometimes a little gross to use.
