  • Description

    Description

    Our farm is located about one hour from Mocoa, in the beautiful region of Putumayo, Colombia.

    The project focuses on several areas, including agriculture, regenerative agriculture, wooden cabin building, reforestation, and nature conservation.

    This adventure started more than five years ago. Over time, the farm has grown and now offers comfortable accommodation for friends and volunteers who would like to discover this beautiful place, connect with nature, and contribute to the project.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will stay on a 400-acre farm surrounded by jungle, rivers, animals, and abundant life. This place has a special atmosphere that often makes people feel as if they have stepped into another time and space.

    We also collaborate with Indigenous farmers from the Nasa community, sharing practices, stories, and knowledge.

    There are also moments to relax and enjoy music together (guitar, pan flute, and more).

  • Help

    Help

    On a farm, any kind of help is welcome, whatever your skills or experience.

    We mainly need help in the kitchen which is fundamental to provide energy to all of us.

    The most common apart from the kitchen are the following:

    - Taking care of crops (coffee, bananas, yuca, and more)
    - Planting and maintaining the garden
    - Helping with wood cutting for construction
    - Assisting with wooden cabin building
    -Participating in daily farm life (feeding animals, general tasks, etc.)

    What else ...

    In your free time on the farm, you can go to the river, walk in the jungle, spend time with the animals, play music, relax, or take pictures.

    As the farm is quite remote, it may be difficult to go to Mocoa—the nearest town—on a daily basis. However, you can hire a taxi/ motorbike if you need to go there or if you would like to go out for the weekend and explore places around the area.
