Very diverse group of people, fun, smart, with strong connections and many different interests. Typical German DIY vibe and ingenious systems all around the house for a smooth functional living experience. Proper spaces and gear for woodworking, electronics, and more. Lots of free saved food. There are rules and they are enforced, that’s how … read more

Gorgeous place in a gorgeous valley. The yoga shala is particularly beautiful - what a treat to be practicing there every morning! - and so are the gardens and their loads of colourful flowers and birds everywhere.

Lovely team, all of them. The owners are super chill and friendly, the staff are welcoming and happy to be there. Much smiling and … read more

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Live the country life ...)

As the profile mentions, this is not your usual volunteering arrangement. There's no 25-hour-work-for-food-and-accomodation exchange. This is more like a shared house: you put in some money and get to stay there, living with and like a local, free to explore the surrounding landscapes and culture as much as and any way you feel like.

However the … read more profile is unclear or misleading in a few ways, the most important of which, as far as I was concerned, were:
- the fact that food is NOT included in the daily 10.000, which are for accomodation only. I had money issues at the time and this was a problem, which is why I left after only five days.
- the fact that accomodation was NOT at the farm, but in the townhouse.
- the fact that the house is also home to three dogs, including two loud puppies.

Despite this, I really enjoyed my stay in Filadelfia, which, although quite short, turned out to be the most authentic and interesting experience I've had of Colombia.

Living in the townhouse with Leny (an energetic, sensitive, unpredictable, almost Italian girl with a big heart) was in itself a dive into the local life and land. The amenities are very basic and there's no hot water (but you can always mix boiling and cold water in a bucket if you need a warm shower), sometimes friends pop by - maybe with kids and/or a few more dogs - to share a few beers and sing along to latin pop songs together, and 3mn from the house there is an absolutely fabulous lookout to the moutains all around.

Outside of the house, the possibilities are endless. Leny took us to one of her friend's (typically Colombian) birthday on the first night, and the next two days, we went to cook for the children of a one-room school nearby, which was quite a cultural experience and probably the most significant in my whole trip. One afternoon I walked down to the stadium and played football and basketball for hours with the town kids. We also went for walks around Fili, shopped at the local butcher's or greengrocer's, visited Andrea at the farmhouse (a calm, really interesting guy), as well as Leny's dad's coffee farm, and in the evenings we would go out for drinks and to play pool and dance salsa. We also planned a whole day hike to La Merced we never got to do because I left too soon.

And as I climbed into the bus that day, I was already thinking about next time.
Thanks Leny

PS: in case that wasn't clear enough from the profile or previous reviews, the town has zero tourist, and Leny doesn't speak English. So if your goal is to learn Spanish, well, you couldn't be in a better place.

(Très bien )

Awesome place to volunteer. :)

Jürgen, Esteban and Maryuri were always in good spirits, easy-going and helpful, and as a volunteer, the work arrangement was perfect for me: I could be independent, picking my own jobs and organizing my own hours, getting help from the team if I needed. During my time here, I built a wall for the natural pool, … read more

Nour is the ideal Workawayer. He helped us enormously in the garden, with the tourists, etc.
More important was the fact that he was completely independent and he saw immediately what needs to be done.

Thank you very much, Nour. I hoped you had also a great experience in the reserve!

What a beautiful spot in the mountains!

The wood / bamboo architecture, the hammocks and the nature around make for a relaxing space, that we shared with many colourful birds (gallito de roca, gulungo, carriquí, turpial montañero, barranquero, cuco ardilla, cacique candela, garza, gallinazo, varios tangaras y colibrís...). A delight for the eyes … read more
