Our place is located just ten minutes from La Ceja, Antioquia and an hour from Medellin. This charming town is known to have more bicycles than inhabitants and a great place to explore the beauty of the "oriente antioqueño". The work is diverse and we usually ask for about 4-5 hours of help per day. Normally we do three days of work and one day off. The days start with Agnihotra and Yoga and then a hearty breakftast. We offer accommodation and three meals a day. We love food and cooking, we enjoy spending time in the kitchen preparing healthy, delicious meals. If you like to cook, we are more than happy to taste your flavors! For now we ask for seven to ten days, or perhaps more depending on current projects. We just finished building our woodfire oven for bread and pizza making! We are pet lovers, at the moment have six dogs and three cats, most of them were adopted. Please let us know if you are interested, love to have you on board!

Welcome to our agroecologic farm. We are based nearby Calarcá, Quindio in the well-known Coffee Region of Colombia. We will be happy to receive you on our land where our family and neighbours have been implementing agroecology for 22 years.

This is my parent's farm and looking after it is their hobby and passion. Both of them are retired and used to live in the countryside when they were children. They love to make changes and improvements here and there, so I thought It would be good to have some help. They are a lovely couple (in their 60s) and can only speak Spanish, but will take good care of you. You will get a room and private bathroom and will share kitchen and the rest of places. At the end of your stay we always pay for a cleaning lady (from the area) who comes to wash the blankets and cleans the room, she charges 50.000 pesos which is about 13usd. We would kindly ask you to pay for this money as my mom would have to do the cleaning after you leave. It does not matter. This is only once at the end of your stay and it doesn’t matter if it is two people or one. So it is $50.000 total. We will never ask for any money except for that. I just don’t want my mom to have to clean after you leave. About food, we can ...

This is our beautiful farm - an ecological experiment practicing regenerative agriculture, trying also to motivate our neighbours and region, to (again) trust and work with organic farming tecnics. Our farm still having public transport access, is a great off-road experience while traveling through Colombia - our neighbours are all from the region cultivating coffee, sugar cane or holding cattle. There are buses going directly from Bogota to San Nicolas from where sometimes there is neighbour-transport, or you can hike or ask for a ride on a motorbike the last 4km to get to our farm. In San Nicolas there is the Cero de Tabor - a protected area for its richness in bird where you can do hikes, some neighbours are also open for horseback riding, or you can do a longer tour getting to know Puli, Armero or Murillo. All very beautiful. We are implementing different ideas for a creative and sustainable lifestyle. Heartily welcome if you want to try out a conscious and independent day-to-day ...

We are a local peace and justice organization on the Caribbean coast of Colombia that has a farm used for organic production, educational purposes, and that we are developing as an eco-tourism project. We also do environmental education with children through two programs, School in the Forest and Talking with Snakes which is a theater program. We are in the tropical dry forest eco-system in the province of Sucre, just outside the city of Sincelejo. Our farm was once used for cattle grazing and much of it was over-grazed and degraded, but other parts still had some old trees. Since 2013, we have been protecting the native trees and planting more. The farm is now filled with trees. We have orange and lime trees, guanabananas, mangos, nisperos, and other tropical fruits. We have 2 ponds and have some animals (chickens, dogs, cats, turkeys, red-footed turtles). We have also howler monkeys, anteaters, armadillos and sloths on the property which is amazing since the area around us is pretty ...

Hello dear volunteer, I'm a Colombian old-school guy with a disruptive mind.That's why I live a frugal life in this little town, San Javier, near the capital Bogota (approximately 3 hours away). It used to be a train station, but the train stopped working around 50 years ago, so this place lost interest. I am trying to make this place a coworking space, or I don't know how to say it. It's just a nice chill place with good internet and great weather (sometimes it rains a lot; we are in the rainy forest). Other times, it's around 24 degrees Celsius. This place is surrounded by nature; people who live here are construction workers and service workers. There are a lot of country houses around, and Bogotanos come here for a weekend break. So, it's really calm. People here like to play music very loud, which can be annoying. They also enjoy drinking beer a lot. However, I'm not into that; I left those days behind. So, I would prefer that you don't come if you are on the edge of your drug co...

Hi there! We, Klara (Czech/Belgian), Agustin (Colombian) and our son Saila, are looking for nice human beings to join us on our coffee farm and help us take care of the land. We bought this farm three years ago because we fell in love with the land and thought this place would be amazing to raise our son. We didn't know anything about (coffee) farming at that point and kind of turned into coffee farmers overnight. After a year of hard work and a lot of learning we are producing our own coffee brand Cafe finca Sagrado. Since it´s only the 3 of us it is not always easy to get our work done. We are working on and need help with several projects; We produce 100% organic coffee, have animals, make our own fertilizers, focus on permaculture, are restructuring the coffee plantation by planting native trees, do natural building (we started building a cabaña) and are growing more food to become as much self sustainable as possible. In order to do this we need one or two people to help us a...

I am also in the process of developing a butterfly house, museum and cultivation of organic, local fruits. *Help Needed* We host a rare hummingbird on our reserve that attracts birdwatchers and photographers May-August. It would be a huge help to have someone to help with preparing the lodge and welcoming visitors (if you're comfortable) during this period. Other than that I could do with some help around the reserve, mostly physical work including cultivation, seed planting, cleaning, butterfly breeding and general maintenance. I would also love to improve my English, so if you can help me practice that would also be amazing (this profile is being written by a native English speaker for me). Also, anyone creative that can add something to help improve the overall experience for guests is welcome to use their creativity! I ask for up to 4 hours ...

“Mamorwa” in ikʉ can be translated as "the thoughts of Mother" or "the Mother of all thoughts". For the Mamos of Mamorwa, humans and Mother Earth heal when they reunite. Mamorwa is an invitation to encounter Mother Earth, and align to her thoughts. Mamorwa represents the balance and respect of Nature’s laws, of Kunsamʉ. Mamorwa is the choice to follow a gentle mountain path, to be at one with its pure rivers, with the thousand year old trees which have chosen to call it home and the great monkeys who roam in their midst, and offer their song to the piercing echo of dawn. It is an opportunity to find our true Humanity once again, by renewing a deep and living bond with Mother Earth. This calls us to follow once again the flow of our life like one of a river with its fluctuations, to let go of what was previously imprisoning us and leading us to go against the natural current of life, moved again by our profound aspirations. Juan and Duavico, two Mamo brothers, looked for a sacred p...

This farm is a farm school (Spanish, English, yoga and Permaculture) and family project, especially in these tropical and sub-tropical areas where everythig grows easily. We want to generate a variety of products, services and knowledge for our group and also to provide a model of sustainable agriculture. Also, we teach Spanish along with Meditation and Permaculture.

Our place is located just ten minutes from La Ceja, Antioquia and an hour from Medellin. This charming town is known to have more bicycles than inhabitants and a great place to explore the beauty of the "oriente antioqueño". The work is diverse and we usually ask for about 4-5 hours of help per day. Normally we do three days of work and one day off. The days start with Agnihotra and Yoga and then a hearty breakftast. We offer accommodation and three meals a day. We love food and cooking, we enjoy spending time in the kitchen preparing healthy, delicious meals. If you like to cook, we are more than happy to taste your flavors! For now we ask for seven to ten days, or perhaps more depending on current projects. We just finished building our woodfire oven for bread and pizza making! We are pet lovers, at the moment have six dogs and three cats, most of them were adopted. Please let us know if you are interested, love to have you on board!

This is my parent's farm and looking after it is their hobby and passion. Both of them are retired and used to live in the countryside when they were children. They love to make changes and improvements here and there, so I thought It would be good to have some help. They are a lovely couple (in their 60s) and can only speak Spanish, but will take good care of you. You will get a room and private bathroom and will share kitchen and the rest of places. At the end of your stay we always pay for a cleaning lady (from the area) who comes to wash the blankets and cleans the room, she charges 50.000 pesos which is about 13usd. We would kindly ask you to pay for this money as my mom would have to do the cleaning after you leave. It does not matter. This is only once at the end of your stay and it doesn’t matter if it is two people or one. So it is $50.000 total. We will never ask for any money except for that. I just don’t want my mom to have to clean after you leave. About food, we can ...

This is our beautiful farm - an ecological experiment practicing regenerative agriculture, trying also to motivate our neighbours and region, to (again) trust and work with organic farming tecnics. Our farm still having public transport access, is a great off-road experience while traveling through Colombia - our neighbours are all from the region cultivating coffee, sugar cane or holding cattle. There are buses going directly from Bogota to San Nicolas from where sometimes there is neighbour-transport, or you can hike or ask for a ride on a motorbike the last 4km to get to our farm. In San Nicolas there is the Cero de Tabor - a protected area for its richness in bird where you can do hikes, some neighbours are also open for horseback riding, or you can do a longer tour getting to know Puli, Armero or Murillo. All very beautiful. We are implementing different ideas for a creative and sustainable lifestyle. Heartily welcome if you want to try out a conscious and independent day-to-day ...

We are a local peace and justice organization on the Caribbean coast of Colombia that has a farm used for organic production, educational purposes, and that we are developing as an eco-tourism project. We also do environmental education with children through two programs, School in the Forest and Talking with Snakes which is a theater program. We are in the tropical dry forest eco-system in the province of Sucre, just outside the city of Sincelejo. Our farm was once used for cattle grazing and much of it was over-grazed and degraded, but other parts still had some old trees. Since 2013, we have been protecting the native trees and planting more. The farm is now filled with trees. We have orange and lime trees, guanabananas, mangos, nisperos, and other tropical fruits. We have 2 ponds and have some animals (chickens, dogs, cats, turkeys, red-footed turtles). We have also howler monkeys, anteaters, armadillos and sloths on the property which is amazing since the area around us is pretty ...

Hello dear volunteer, I'm a Colombian old-school guy with a disruptive mind.That's why I live a frugal life in this little town, San Javier, near the capital Bogota (approximately 3 hours away). It used to be a train station, but the train stopped working around 50 years ago, so this place lost interest. I am trying to make this place a coworking space, or I don't know how to say it. It's just a nice chill place with good internet and great weather (sometimes it rains a lot; we are in the rainy forest). Other times, it's around 24 degrees Celsius. This place is surrounded by nature; people who live here are construction workers and service workers. There are a lot of country houses around, and Bogotanos come here for a weekend break. So, it's really calm. People here like to play music very loud, which can be annoying. They also enjoy drinking beer a lot. However, I'm not into that; I left those days behind. So, I would prefer that you don't come if you are on the edge of your drug co...

Hi there! We, Klara (Czech/Belgian), Agustin (Colombian) and our son Saila, are looking for nice human beings to join us on our coffee farm and help us take care of the land. We bought this farm three years ago because we fell in love with the land and thought this place would be amazing to raise our son. We didn't know anything about (coffee) farming at that point and kind of turned into coffee farmers overnight. After a year of hard work and a lot of learning we are producing our own coffee brand Cafe finca Sagrado. Since it´s only the 3 of us it is not always easy to get our work done. We are working on and need help with several projects; We produce 100% organic coffee, have animals, make our own fertilizers, focus on permaculture, are restructuring the coffee plantation by planting native trees, do natural building (we started building a cabaña) and are growing more food to become as much self sustainable as possible. In order to do this we need one or two people to help us a...

Aloha, my name is Javier Clark , I'm a Colombian 🇨🇴 US 🇺🇸 from Maui Hawaii. I discovered Colombia, because my mother was from Colombia. I started coming to Colombia and fell in love with the environment, especially the Tayrona National Park. It's been a big sacrifice moving away from, family, friends and Maui Hawaii to become an entrepreneur in Colombia and work on my dreams. Everyday that I wake up at this beautiful surroundings I'm thankful, I took a chance/risk. I decided to sign to helpX, to help other people have the opportunity to experience what I'm experiencing, even if they have a small budget, and to have other people explore the area.

Hola! My name is Santiago and I am from Colombia. In 2023 I hope to open a new hostel/ lodging on my little patch of paradise in Colombia. I am also in the process of developing a butterfly house, museum and cultivation of organic, local fruits. *Help Needed* We host a rare hummingbird on our reserve that attracts birdwatchers and photographers May-August. It would be a huge help to have someone to help with preparing the lodge and welcoming visitors (if you're comfortable) during this period. Other than that I could do with some help around the reserve, mostly physical work including cultivation, seed planting, cleaning, butterfly breeding and general maintenance. I would also love to improve my English, so if you can help me practice that would also be amazing (this profile is being written by a native English speaker for me). Also, anyone creative that can add something to help improve the overall experience for guests is welcome to use their creativity! I ask for up to 4 hours ...

“Mamorwa” in ikʉ can be translated as "the thoughts of Mother" or "the Mother of all thoughts". For the Mamos of Mamorwa, humans and Mother Earth heal when they reunite. Mamorwa is an invitation to encounter Mother Earth, and align to her thoughts. Mamorwa represents the balance and respect of Nature’s laws, of Kunsamʉ. Mamorwa is the choice to follow a gentle mountain path, to be at one with its pure rivers, with the thousand year old trees which have chosen to call it home and the great monkeys who roam in their midst, and offer their song to the piercing echo of dawn. It is an opportunity to find our true Humanity once again, by renewing a deep and living bond with Mother Earth. This calls us to follow once again the flow of our life like one of a river with its fluctuations, to let go of what was previously imprisoning us and leading us to go against the natural current of life, moved again by our profound aspirations. Juan and Duavico, two Mamo brothers, looked for a sacred p...

In the beautiful community Tierra de Agua, in the mountains near the village of Cocorná, 2 hours from Medelllin, is our homestay La Platanera. From a holistic vision, based on permaculture principles and ancestral wisdom and practices of the indigenous peoples, we take care of the land, grow vegetables, have various roles in the community life, and take care of the children.
