Great opportunity to learn about coffee and sustainable practices. You are never left on your own and fully accepted as part of the family. I received a great immersion in Colombian culture and can happily recommend this experience to other travellers. Thank you!

Esta experiencia fue muy enriquecedora. Ángela y Beto son unos anfitriones maravillosos que te explican desde el primer día todas las tareas a realizar y te contagian su amor por su vida campesina y sostenible. Aprenderás de cuidado de animales, de consumo responsable, de la recogida del café junto a todo su proceso, de caídas y rodadas en su colecta jaja pero siempre levantándose con la mejor actitud. Pescarás y te comerás tus peces con toda la satisfacción! Te reirás sin parar y escucharás canciones de tu niñez como también ayudarás a pasar letras de textos muy a la colombiana! Mucho amor!

Hice mi primer voluntariado acá y fue una experiencia muy buena. Me sentí full acogido por Beto y Angela y cómodo en su hogar. Nos enseñaron a cuidar los animales, el proceso del cafe y algunos platos típicos. Muy simpáticos y divertidos. Las risas y las buenas historias no faltaron, volvería la verdad y lo recomiendo full 🙌🏼

Este voluntariado fue en el que más aprendimos! Y eso fue gracias a los anfitriones que tuvieron la paciencia,y la disposición a explicarnos,y permitirnos aprender mucho! Nos sentimos muy bien recibidos desde el primer día. La comida es increíble! Es una excelente oportunidad para sumergirte en la gastronomía local y degustar platos abundantes y hechos con amor. Recomiendo este voluntariado para quienes quieran sumergirse en una experiencia real en naturaleza, con predisposición a aprender de ella y ser parte de un proyecto de vida que esperamos cresca cada vez más! Muchas gracias Angela Beto!

Nuestra experiencia en la granja fue altamente enriquecedora. Desde un principio Angela y Beto nos hicieron sentir como en casa y nos enseñaron mucho de cómo se vive en el campo. Aprendimos bastante sobre el proceso del café, sobre flora y fauna local y sobre sostenibilidad. Compartimos muchas charlas, tintos y comidas ricas con productos de la granja, entre montañas y sonidos de la naturaleza. Recomiendo está experiencia para quienes les gusten los ambientes tranquilos y quieran aprender sobre la vida rural y cultura local. Muchas gracias por recibirnos y enseñarnos tanto en nuestra estadía 🫂
