Esperanza stays there all the time in the farm.When you're at the farm, maybe Esperanza needs to go to Bogotá for few days...

The idea is simple: we can accommodate up to 2 people in exchange for what you work according to the needs of the farm (about 5 hours per day).

David stayed two weeks at the farm, he participated in different crops of oranges, mandarins and lemons. He also participated in the cleanings of pests as well as the planting of young trees. David has good energy and a good relationship. He is also a source of interressing ideas. Thank you for everything. Good luck for the future.
