Fue una experiencia increíble y única para trabajar en Santa Cruz en el hotel. Pasé todo mi tiempo en el restaurante al lado del hotel. Tengo experiencia en los Estados Unidos en restaurantes y como barista, y me ayudó en esta experiencia, pero no es necesario.

I liked it so much that i ve endet up staying for over one month on Joffres farm. I helped picking coffee in the morning. Afternoon and weekends we had off and lots of time to discover the island, go surfing or just to go for a beer in the excellent micro brewery next door. The staff was friendly and we quickly all became friends. It was also nice… read more

I spent just over a week working at the finca, and it was a truly great WorkAway experience.

Johanna and Joffre are charming, friendly and very fair hosts. Because of the remote location of the farm it is best to group all of your working days together and then explore the islands at the end, and they were happy for me to stay at their excellent… read more
