Descripción
We were living in New Zealand for five years and last year we decided to move back to South America to start a project in our land. We worked in organic farms where we got very inspired to get our own dreams and ideas started in our hectare in Colombia. We are a family of three with a little baby now :-)

We have all the enthusiasm and determination to start the project and we want to have people from all over the world to come and join us helping, so we all can learn from each other and from nature.

Ayuda
As we are starting the project, we need help with diferente tasks. Some may include coffee harvest and following process, gardening, composting, making terraces, simple building, water works and so on. Help with cooking and keeping the place clean is requested even on off-work hours. As we have a little baby atm, Erika spends quite a lot of time with him, so help babysitting is also welcome. The tasks will change depending on needs, priorities and weather conditions.

We are interested on cultural exchange, so we welcome volunteers to cook meals, share their skills and culture.
Idiomas hablados
Spanish, English and Portuguese
Alojamiento
We have a separate room for hosters with a double bed. Volunteers have a separate bathroom.
Algo más...
We are two hours from Bogota (capital). The farm is 1800 meters above sea level so you can enjoy a nice tropical weather. The region has a lot of rivers, waterfalls and beautiful landscape that you can visit. We also can invite you for a rafting trip on your rest days.
We enjoy fresh and local food and moderate consuption of meat.
Prefer non-smokers.
We can guarantee you'll have a nice experience full of cultural exchange with nice and local people in an informal environment.
Possible ride from Bogota if we coincide to be there!!

I stayed here for 2 weeks and enjoyed my time here. Erika has her hands full having to go to Bogota on the weekends and taking care of little Maue, but she taught us what we needed to do and trusted us to take care of the place on the weekends. I learned a lot about the coffee process and even how to make plantain flour! We typically worked 7 hour… read more

My sister and I stayed with Erika for 2 weeks. It was a good experience. We learned all the process to make coffee, except the cultivating part since it was not the season.

My friend and I stayed on the farm for about 3 weeks and had a wonderful experience. We learnt about every stage of the coffee production from picking and drying to shelling and grinding! It was amazing to taste coffee that we ourselves had made! Erika is extremely friendly and welcoming and places a good deal of trust in volunteers. The farm is… read more

A pleasurable family feeling in this small farm away from the big city yet easy to get too. I got to discover alot of things and help in lots of different ways.… read more

We had a very good time here. Rafa is nice and Erika is extremely welcoming. Baby Maue is beautiful and he is a testament to Erika and Rafa's chilled out and happy attitude to life. The Finca is great- it is up in the mountains and near a highway so you can easily get to the local town of Guaduas on your rest days. Erika was away for a bit and was… read more

The type of work varies greatly but that just adds to your wealth of knowledge in the end. Thank you for hosting me, and I would like to see pictures of the finished product of the pond!

We worked a short 9 days with Erika & Rafael in their finca just before their Easter break. They have a small finca with a new project of establishing a self sustainable living using permacultural techniques and the natural cycles and rhythms of the earth. They have lots of knowledge and experience in this area and just lack the manpower to… read more
