The Experience

Enjoy a stay in the heart of the Eje Cafetero, surrounded by nature and supporting an organic and sustainable garden project to create the greatest possible degree of self-sufficiency. Preference for applicants with prior gardening experience, including planting, transplanting, vermiculture, compost management, greenhouse work, rooting, tree pruning, etc. Physically demanding work due to the mountainous location.

The accommodation has a place in my heart ♥️ my arrival was excellent, super responsive, always ensuring you're comfortable, and thanks to the accommodation, the facilities and the good energy, everything was possible. The tasks were as agreed and we were also able to coordinate to do other things to keep learning and improving other skills. The location makes you connect with another part of yourself, and it makes you feel immersed in nature. Highly recommended!!! Thanks Gabriel, Ana and the team (Yambo, Rasta and Campanita 🐕🐴)

The experience was very nice, I enjoyed staying at the lodge, the place is beautiful, the tasks are simple and the atmosphere relaxed.
I take away wonderful experiences and long conversations with Gabriel, the host, who is always willing to help you.
The breakfasts are made by him, and they are incredible, delicious and made with dedication.

You also have the company of yambo and rasta and campanita, which are his pets, which also make you feel part of a home!
Without a doubt, it is a place that I would return to to share a small campfire, and long conversations with Gabriel!
