I had such a wonderful week at Finca Segrada. From the moment I arrived I felt so welcomed. The Finca itself is also absolutely beautiful. The work mostly changed from day to day which kept things interesting and I genuinely enjoyed most of the tasks. My favourite part might have been the Spanish classes. Even though I was only there for a week, I learned so much! Klara and Felipe are amazing teachers. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it!

The Finca is a very beautiful place to calm down and connect with nature. The work can be hard sometimes but if you like working outside and use your hands, it's nice. Also, you can learn a lot about different areas like natural building and coffee processing, Klara is always happy to answer questions. I felt very welcomed in the family and enjoyed my time here a lot. Would recommend:)

Klara and her family made me feel welcomed the second I arrived. The finca is truly stunning and the surrounding area is beautiful as well. The tasks were different every day and I learned a lot in my time there. I got sick during my stay and Klara took care of me and looked after me which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend to da volunteering here!

I loved my 2 weeks at the farm! The place as well as the surrounding nature and town are incredible! I very much enjoyed the varying tasks from working in the cafetal to painting. Klara and her family made me feel very welcome, the food she cooked was always very delicious :)!

10/10 recommend. Klara is an exceptional host; she humbly welcomes you in to her world and treats you like you are undoubtedly meant to be there. The work varied day-to-day so I was always learning, adapting, growing, and feeling like true help. On top of that, the Spanish lessons were legitimate, interactive, and beneficial in practice. Her home, family, & farm soon felt like a place I wanted to return to - needless to say, it lives up to the name the farm.

I had a great week volunteering at the farm. The experience was truly enriching, with a beautiful connection to nature. Although the physical work at the farm was not easy for myself, Klara was flexible about it. Learning Spanish was both fun and practical, enhancing my overall experience. Klara and her family were very welcoming. I recommend this opportunity for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature, culture, and language! Do spend a couple of nights in the nearby pueblo (Jerico) - it's a gem!

Klara, and her family made us feel like a part of the family. Spanish lessons helped me improve my listening skills, and the work; painting, weeding, coffee picking, etc. I enjoyed the diversity. I learned so much about coffee and organic farming that I didn't know before. For a first volunteer experience, I rate it high! Sharing meals and conversations with the other volunteers and the family was a highlight too. I recommend giving it a try, just don't forget bug spray and sunscreen! Also, there were two cute dogs and a beautiful goat. Solitude and nature, go for it:) ¿qué te pare amiga(o)?

This was my first volunteering experience and I had an amazing time at la the farm. Klara y Augustin were really welcoming. Workwise, Klara is very clear and flexible with each task, the work was very diverse which kept things really interesting, 2 weeks went past very quickly! We learnt a lot about coffee and how to build a wall. For the Spanish lessons, Klara is a very good teacher, has a lot of patience and adapts to your level! It was great to go back and review some grammar. Food was amazing, Klara even showed us how to make Colombian specialties such as patacones / arepas. 🤩❤️

Klara and Augustine are two wonderful, interesting and extremely knowledgeable people who I feel very grateful to have met. Not only is their property beautiful, but it is also so abundant and impressively diverse. I learned so much everyday, whether it be about coffee production, Spanish, building with natural materials, cooking, Colombian culture, or about the lives of Klara and Augustine or other travellers staying on the farm. I feel so delighted and glad to have had this experience. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the farm! <3
