    Hello WorkAway Friends!

    Welcome! This is our dream come true, a 3 acre Farm and Eco-Lodge.
    It is a fairly new project, having started only in June 2022, so every helping hand is welcome and appreciated!

    We are located right in the middle of The Colombian Andes, 15 minutes away from a picturesque little town called El Retiro in Antioquia, Colombia. We are also 30 minutes from the Jose María Córdova Airport and 50 minutes from the beautiful and famous city of Medellín!

    Do not hesitate to contact us, and see you around!

Also, 5 of the most beautiful Towns in Colombia are within a two hour ride (El Retiro, Rionegro, La Ceja, Jardin, Jerico and Santa Barbara). In otherwords, you won't be bored.
