    Description

    We are an ecological and biodiverse project that invites people to reconnect with nature through a simple, conscious, and shared way of living.
    We believe that true transformation is born from everyday life: from the soil cared for with our hands, from food prepared with love, and from the relationships woven around a shared table.

    Food is the heart of our experience. Every day we cook together using natural products, many of them grown right here, respecting the rhythms of the land and the seasons. For us, eating well is not a luxury—it is a way of life: an act of care, health, and cultural connection. In our kitchen, knowledge, flavors, and memories come together; it is a space where we learn to nourish both the body and the soul.

    The Workaway experience here is, above all, about community living. We share daily tasks in a calm and friendly way: gardening, construction and beautification of spaces, plant care, tending fruit trees, and maintaining common areas. Tasks are organized according to the specific needs of the farm at each moment. They are not extremely hard jobs, but they are valuable and meaningful work that cares for the land and allows the project to stay alive, grow, and flourish every day.

    The financial contribution from those who visit is used entirely for purchasing quality food and for the maintenance of the farm and the project. Thanks to this, we can continue cultivating a dignified, living, and open space, where we all eat as one big family and where each person leaves their mark.

    We are located in the peaceful mountains of Nocaima, Cundinamarca, just 1.5 hours from Bogotá, surrounded by greenery, water, gardens, and cabins built in community. Here, time feels different—slower, more real. Our purpose is to share knowledge about ecological living, physical well-being, and spiritual practice, reminding ourselves together that another way of inhabiting the world is possible.

    Those who arrive do not come only to work; they come to live a gastronomic and human experience, to reconnect with what truly matters, to listen to the land, and to rediscover the value of simplicity.

    Somos un proyecto ecológico y biodiverso que invita a reconectar con la naturaleza a través de una vida sencilla, consciente y compartida.
    Creemos que la verdadera transformación nace de lo cotidiano: de la tierra que se cuida con las manos, del alimento que se prepara con amor y de las relaciones que se tejen alrededor de una mesa.
    La comida es el corazón de nuestra experiencia. Cada día cocinamos juntos con productos naturales, muchos de ellos cultivados aquí mismo, respetando los ritmos de la tierra y las estaciones. Comer bien para nosotros no es un lujo, es una forma de vivir: un acto de cuidado, de salud y de encuentro cultural. En nuestra cocina se mezclan saberes, sabores y memorias; es un espacio donde aprendemos a nutrir el cuerpo y también el alma.

    El workaway aquí es, sobre todo, vida en comunidad. Compartimos las tareas del día a día de forma tranquila y amable: labores de jardinería, construcción y embellecimiento de espacios, cuidado de las plantas, atención a los árboles frutales y mantenimiento de las áreas comunes. En general vamos teniendo en cuenta las necesidades concretas de la finca en cada momento y, en base a ello, se reparten las tareas. No son labores durísimas, pero sí trabajos valiosos y necesarios, que cuidan el entorno y permiten que el proyecto siga vivo, creciendo y floreciendo cada día.

    La aportación económica de quienes nos visitan se destina íntegramente a la compra de alimentos de calidad y al mantenimiento de la finca y del proyecto. Gracias a ello podemos seguir cultivando y compartiendo con quieres lo deseen, un lugar digno, vivo y abierto, donde todos cocinamos y comemos como parte de esta gran familia, en la que cada persona deja una huella.

    Estamos en las montañas tranquilas de Nocaima, Cundinamarca, a solo 1.5 horas de Bogotá, rodeados de verde, de agua, de huertos y de cabañas construidas en comunidad. Aquí el tiempo se siente distinto: más lento, más verdadero. Nuestro propósito es compartir conocimientos sobre vida ecológica, bienestar físico y práctica espiritual, recordando juntos que otra forma de habitar el mundo es posible.
    Quien llega no viene solo a trabajar: viene a vivir una experiencia gastronómica y humana, a reconectar con lo esencial, a escuchar la tierra y a descubrir el valor de lo simple.

    Help

    We’re looking for motivated, hands-on individuals to help with day-to-day tasks on our farm. No two days are the same, and your responsibilities will depend on your strengths, experience, and preferences. Tasks include harvesting crops for meals, cooking, cleaning, gardening, space renovation, and more. As we also run an eco-friendly guesthouse, we’d love help with managing bookings, social media, and content creation. We’re open to your ideas too—if you think of ways to help us grow, we’d love to hear them. You’ll work 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off—usually Saturday and Sunday, but we’re flexible. On your day off, we simply ask that you tidy your own space.
