Marvellous ! I had an amazing stay in the school and at Victor's house. He really makes you feel at home from the very start. He is a great person with a LOT experience teaching. The room is amazing ! The spot is amazing too in the middle of a coffee field !!! It is the opportunity to live with a Colombian family, learn about the culture, the food. I highly recommend you spend some time there. About the teaching facilities, you get nice classrooms, internet connexion and access to teaching materials. The colleagues are also very nice (big up to Diego). Thanks Victor for everything!

We had a very positive and rewarding experience during our one month volunteering at the school in Pitalito. The positives: - Welcoming students, staff and hosts - Lovely accomodation and facilities - Some meals provided/money towards food shops - Good work/life balance - Good working relationship - especially Jhon who kept us informed and supported Could be improved: - Commute to school (1 hour walk or infrequent bus) - Provision of food outlined 3 meals per day, in reality irregular/unclear - Ensuring facilities in home work (toilet flush, gas, drinking water, wifi)
