I really enjoyed my stay here ❤️ Anita, Jock and Nano made me feel like a home member since day one. I had the chance to be sorrounded by nature, the villa is so beautiful and the plus was all the animals I had the chance to meet: Edmundo the horse, Mili the goat, Oscar the baby goat, Poroto the parrot and all the dogs and cats!

What started as a few weeks ended up being 7 months, and from the moment I arrived, I was welcomed in as one of the family. It was a beautiful small farm along the river with nice walk trails surrounding it.

This was my First Workaway experience, which some people would say make me too clueless to be able to differ between a good experience and a bad one. But if you arrive at a place and feel welcome enough so that it can become a new home in Bolivia to you in only two weeks, then I think it is my right to distinguish this place as „excellent“.
