I had a wonderful time at the farm Elisio with Maria Theres. If you're looking to unwind from city life and immerse yourself more into nature and country living, this is a great opportunity. The work is not very demanding (although I wasn't there in-season), and Maria Theres does not ask much of you, only to make yourself at home and treat it like such. Maria Theres is a bright, busy, and formidable woman who needs help looking after her finca, her chickens, her 5 dogs and 2 cats. There is plenty of time to relax and she will always take the time to conversate and teach about Colombian culture

We stayed for two weeks looking after the dogs and hens. Was a great experience to recharge the battery for more travel.

We really enjoyed our time at the farm! Our favourite part was spending time with the 5 dogs and 2 cats which was really fun. We went in January so it wasnt coffee or fruit season so there wasn't a heavy workload for us, mostly involved tending to the chickens. If you would like to rest and recharge and connect with nature this is a great place to do so. Thanks Maria for a lovely stay!

Maria's farm is a lovely isolated spot, truly in nature, with beautiful views. Maria welcomed us into her home with her family members also there for Easter on the first few days, which was very nice. In terms of the volunteering, we felt there was not much to do, nor what we expected. Collecting coffee beans only took us a couple of hours due to minimal in season, and we would have appreciated being made aware prior to the trip that there would not be much at all for us to do, besides feeding the dogs and hens. We were left for days at a time alone on the farm without Maria, with no work.

The farm was beautiful and extremely peaceful. The season was dry so there wasn't as much to do on the farm but you feed the chickens, look after the 5 beautiful dogs and have access to mandarins and peaceful time to meditate, yoga, read, and write. I had such great conversations with Maria and learned about indigenous peoples and history of the town, which is very important. If you are looking for a more laid place to see Colombia and small town living, then this is the place for you. Thank you Maria for the wonderful stay, I will be back again!
