Joaquin and his family were so welcoming and I had an amazing time learning about the coffee process and talking with his family. The walks in the area are super nice too! Can't recommend enough.

Nuestra estancia con Joaquin y su familia fue muy buena. Son muy amables, gracias por todo. El trabajo es muy físico y puede ser duro. Pero como no había muchas horas de trabajo, estuvo bien. La finca está lejos del pueblo (aproximadamente 1:15h andando) y sólo hay un carro que te puede llevar al pueblo por la mañana. Asi que la finca es un poco remota, pero tambien muy tranquila.
