Hola! We run an agri-touristic project in San Rafael Antioquia. We run an eco-lodge, restaurante, bar, and have an organic vegetable garden. Currently we are looking for help with publicity/documentation of the project, help in the gardens, reforestation projects, and help preserving San Rafael and our community region by collecting trash around the property and the neighborhood to try to keep the area beautiful. We offer our volunteers to participate in a weekly organic gardening/permaculture design workshop!
We ask for between 3 hours per day (15 hours per week) in exchange for your accommodation with us. We ask for a five day minimum stay and we have a three week trial period before deciding on long-term stays with full room and board.
If you have any questions, feel free to write us!

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Travellers on the farm have the opportunity to spend time around el macanal river in San Rafael, Antioquia--getting to know a small community of Colombians and immigrants living in the Antioquian mountains. We are trying new farming techniques, new types of construction and in general trying to learn new things as often as possible. Everyday there is something to learn or to try on the farm.
Arbeit
--Looking for musicians, artists, photographers and nice people to come and spend some time on our farm in-between San Rafael and San Carlos Antioquia!
--Looking for photographers to help with the publicity and documentation for our project!
--Looking for Yoga Teachers!
As many of our volunteer oportunities will change with the season as well as with the skills a volunteer brings to the table, it is a bit difficult to describe the daily tasks of all volunteers. That said, we expect 3 hours of good help five days a week!

Was noch ...
Our farm is located on the river el Macanal in San Rafael, Antioquia. We are quite isolated, but surrounded by beautiful nature. With ten beautuiful swimming spots, and a waterfall on the property, the surrounding nature should keep you occupied in your freetime. There is also an eco lodge on the property with a bar, live music, and restaurant for some weekend entertainment. The town of San Rafael is about an hour walk away, or a ten minute walk and 15 minute tuc tuc drive.

I had a great experience at this beautiful project in San Rafael. The tasks I was assigned on the farm were different every day and I was able to learn some new things about organic farming. The property is located in a beautiful area with a river that we would swim in every day after work. The communication with Jesse was very easy and I was… read more

My stay at hosts was really nice! Every day we worked 3 hours in the morning on the farm where we either would weed, plant, dig etc. The rest of the day we could just relax, take a swim in the river or go to the cute village San Rafael! The 3 meals are good and made with the vegetables of the garden :). Could recommend this place!!
