  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a small, warm-hearted family living next door to the holistic house, so you'll always have support close by. We share our lives with a few beloved pets, and we love creating a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels like part of the family.
  
  We value sharing meals, meaningful conversations, music, and laughter. While you’ll have your own space and independence, we’d love to enjoy meals and time together when possible—especially if you enjoy cooking or trying new foods!
  
  Volunteering with us offers a deep and enriching cultural exchange that goes far beyond daily tasks.
  
  As a family born and rooted in Colombia, we are passionate about sharing our local traditions, customs, music, and flavors with our guests. You won’t just visit Colombia—you’ll experience it through local eyes.
  
  We love to include our volunteers in daily life and are happy to share meals, tell stories, and spend time together when it feels natural. We’ll also take time to show you around the region, visiting beautiful places like local markets, waterfalls, viewpoints, and small pueblos nearby.
  
  We want every volunteer to feel at home, seen, and valued—as part of our extended soul family. This is a space of mutual giving, where both you and we grow from the connection.
