I would recommend this volunteering experience to anyone looking at spending time and learning more about the Colombian countryside and life working on a coffee farm. From the moment I met Julian, Cindy, Ama and Ish, they were so friendly and welcoming into their home. The jobs were different everyday. I just missed the coffee harvesting season but I helped fertalise the coffee trees for the next season, cut down dead banana leaves and other small jobs. On average you'd work between 3 and 5 hours a day, finishing at lunch. The food they cooked was always so delicious and healthy!

I very much enjoyed the time that I spent at finca the farm! Julian and his family are very kind and welcoming. I felt very immersed in local life and spent plenty of time running errands around the area and meeting other locals. The work was very reasonable and I learned a great deal about coffee and life on the farm. I would recommend this experience to anyone who doesn't mind to get their hands a little dirty and likes the laid back countryside life. I without a doubt made memories that will last a lifetime during this experience.

Julian and his family are amazing people. I spent great time in their finca. I stay here during harvesting season so i could help Julian with harvesting and also i could enjoy dispulping process. We had nice conversations about coffee, traveling and life. Family picked me up in Viani. Is good to buy everything what you need before, because city and shops is not that close. I had nice, clean room with private bathroom. Food was delicious. It was unique week and i highly recommend this volunteering. Thank you

Julian and Cindy were amazing hosts and very kind to let us experience their life in Columbia. All communication was easy and we felt very welcomed at all times. The work was physical but nothing you can't manage, and it was very interesting to take part in the coffee production and learn about Colombian coffee culture. We also visited the local town multiple times and went for a hike in the nearby area, which both were very nice. We also loved being introduced to their family and friends and experience the Colombian lifestyle. All in all we are very thankful for our stay at the farm!

Simply everything about my stay at Julian's finca was great. Julian and his family are lovely, calm, open and sensitive people whom we shared some very nice moments with. Communication was always very clear and relaxed, and we worked 3-5 hours daily on various tasks at the plantation. I particularly enjoyed our conversations about Colombian culture and slang, as well as learning about the cultivation of coffee bananas and other crops. We had our own room and bathroom and shared the kitchen and living room with Julian. The food was delicious and very generous. In short : we miss it already!

We had an amazing week at Julian's finca! Before arriving, we received clear instructions how to get to Viani from Bogotá and were picked up there. Going to the shop or the village is not super easy since you need to walk a bit and take a bus, however we didn't need to go everyday. For the work, it is very clear instructed and not too difficult. Julian and his family are really nice and welcoming, and we learned a lot about coffee, but also about Colombia in general. They also have a very nice dog and an adorable daughter who is very sociable and likes to play card games. In short: amazing!

Mi experiencia en la pequeña finca cafetera de Julián fue muy buena. El paisaje que rodea la finca es simplemente impresionante, ofreciendo vistas espectaculares. Tuve la oportunidad de aprender sobre el cultivo del café y descubrir nuevas plantas y frutas, además de adoptar la filosofía de cuidar y respetar la tierra. Aunque el trabajo asignado no es difícil, es importante recordar que se trata de labores en el campo. Recomiendo esta experiencia a quienes buscan conectarse con la naturaleza y aprender de ella. Gracias nuevamente a la familia!

Muy buena experiencia de voluntariado. Julián y su familia son muy agradables y hospitalarios. Aprendí mucho sobre la cultura local y sobre el cultivo de café y agricultura orgánica. Recomiendo mucho este voluntariado, repetiría sin duda.
