VJ is a beautiful place and a great location for volunteering as there are many tasks. Being with all the lovely animals is a treat and Diana's food is very delicious. Requirement is beginner English or beginner Spanish but English is not spoken here and beginner Spanish is not enough. The tasks were different than expected. I did almost only cleaning tasks (which is okay, but not in the description). The first day I learned how to feed the animals and got told I could do this the next day but then another volunteer arrived and she got to do those tasks every day. I would still recommend!

We decided on volunteering at the farm because of the animals, task description and the low language requirements. The animals were awesome (lovely dogs, cute little cow, pigs and many more). The tasks were not communicated correctly. We did a lot of cleaning (pool, chairs, driveway, etc) which is a daily task. Expect to do something similar as well. Language Barriers killed the experience a little. The Team does not speak English, so I would advise to have Intermediate Spanish to get a full experience. All in all we had a good time though, with room for improvement.

Villajilito es una experiencia para conectar con la naturaleza y los animalitos. Hay muchas actividades para hacer (cuidar animales, limpieza, jardinería etc). Mi tarea fue el cuidado de animales y fui muy feliz con esa tarea, todos los animales son hermosos. Se respetaron horarios y tareas. Es muy fácil llegar y muchas actividades para conocer Fusagasugá. Todos fueron amables y respetuosos. Diana cocina delicioso, así que pude disfrutar mucho la comida.Compartí con más voluntarios y disfruté hermosos atardeceres. Gracias por la experiencia, recomendados.

Convivir con la famila la granja fue especial y acogedor. Conectar con la calidad de seres humanos que son hizo que mi estadía fuera de todo mi agrado. Pude sentir la colaboración hacia mi y la colaboración que yo pude brindarles. El trabajo en el campo no es tarea sencilla, así que para alguien que no ha trabajado antes en esto puede llegar a ser abrumador y agotador. Los tiempos fueron respetados y pude disfrutar de la piscina. Renacer me hizo literalmente renacier, me voy siendo una persona diferente a la que llegó, aprendí de sus diferentes perspectivas de vida. Gracias a todos.
