Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I deeply believe on the idea that learning normally comes from doing. I expect volunteers to see this place as an experience of creation and experimentation, and a place where healthy active life style is creative. There is always something to do around and we could benefit from goal oriented people.
Help
We require support of four hours a day in various activities for sowing project and adaptation of spaces for clean crops. The activities may vary according to the need of the moment, although all these are simple and do not require special skills or knowledge. The most common could be:
- Creation of heras for cultivation
- Painting or cleaning spaces in the house (wooden walls)
- Collect coffee.
- Make nurseries
- Harvest fruits
- Plant and transplant.
The 4-5 hours of volunteer service can always be negotiated regarding your schedule or days.

The accommodation is rural and 40-minute away from any type civilization. Still, there is public jeep service three times a day. The volunteer would have a comfortable bed, 3 meals a day, access to the common areas of the house and surroundings (rivers and forests, bird chirping, coffee plantations) and good WIFI connection.
El alojamiento es rural. El voluntario contaría con una habitación y cama cómoda, las 3 comidas del día, el acceso a las áreas comunes de la casa y alrededores ( rios y bosques ) y buena conexión WIFI.What else ...
In free times there is always the possibility of using the spaces of the house to watch movies, read, be in a hammock and watch the sunset. You can also play or create music or exercise in the surroundings. Likewise, the volunteer can use the internet and walk the natural trails of the environment where there is a wide variety of crops, you can fish and it is perfect for bird watching. With respect to access, we are in the northern area of Quindío, so both Filandia and Salento are at a relatively close distance when taking public transport from the same farm. It is worth mentioning that during their stay volunteers can learn and benefit from medicinal plants and their therapeutic uses in order to provide spiritual cleansing and detoxification of their body.
En los tiempos libres siempre existe la posibilidad de usar los espacios de la casa para ver películas, leer, estar en una hamaca y ver el atardecer. También se puede tocar o crear música o hacer mucho ejercicio en los alrededores. Así mismo, el voluntario puede hacer uso de la internet y recorrer los senderos naturales del entorno donde hay gran variedad de cultivos, se puede pescar y es perfecto para la observación de aves . Con respecto al acceso, nos encontramos en el área norte del Quindío, asi tanto Filandia como Salento se encuentran a una distancia relativamente cerca cuando se toma el transporte publico desde la misma finca. Cabe mencionar que durante su estadía los voluntarios podrán aprender y favorecerse de las plantas medicinales y sus usos terapéuticos con el objetivo de proveer limpieza espiritual y desintoxicación de su cuerpo.

Andres is a very nice and special person,… read more
