    Our fauna and flora are diverse.
    The house has typical architecture of the area.
    The culture that shelters us is very valuable and the Colombian cultural landscape is a World Heritage Site. declared by Unesco. With exceptional attributes to delight the eyes and relax the Spirit.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The greatest benefit for a workawayer who visits us, lies in the experience of getting involved in the Colombian peasant culture, where is the main essence of our coffee identity that identifies us to the world.
    For those who want to learn or improve Spanish, we will try to help them to the fullest.
    Direct contact with the earth and the whole environment of plants and animals.

    Those who visit the Zone at the beginning of December, can not miss visiting Quimbaya. that on December 7 and 8 he holds a Festival of Candles and Lanterns. a Cultural tradition that for years involves an entire town in an artisanal work to pay homage to the Virgin with an expression full of Color, creativity and Light.

    El mayor beneficio para un workawayer que nos visite, radica en la experiencia de involucrarse en la cultura campesina colombiana, dónde esta la esencia principal de nuestra identidad cafetera, que nos identifica ante el mundo.
    Para quienes quieran aprender o mejorar el Español, tratare de ayudarlos al máximo.
    Contacto directo con la tierra y todo el entorno de plantas y animales.
    Aprender a vivir de forma elemental, sin necesidad de excesos.

    It is important to share experiences, knowledge and culture. Through it, we create bonds of friendship that contribute to personal growth, as well as material help or work.
    The work in the field is a little rough, for this I require strong people who, besides, do not mind to mop up their clothes and their skin.

    Es importante Compartir experiencias, conocimientos y trabajo.

    El trabajo en el campo es un poco rudo, para ello requiero personas fuertes que además, no les importe enmugrar sus ropas y su piel.
    Se debe amar el campo, la tierra y la vida natural. Para solicitar cupo en este Voluntariado.
    Los interesados deben tener inquietud y deseo de compartir, quien solo busque ahorrar en alojamiento, no cumple con el perfil que deseamos encontrar.
