Great place and experience! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. It was easy to become comfortable quickly. Rafa is a great teacher and our classes were always full of challenging learning and laughs. During the 3 weeks, I saw an improvement in my understanding and speaking. There is plenty to do after classes and volunteer work. The volunteer work was quite manageable too. Every meal was delicious and Olga showed us many Colombian recipes. I recommend if you want to learn in a beautiful countryside. Many thanks to the whole family.

I had an amazing time at the hostel, Rafa is a great teacher and my Spanish improved a lot in my 3 week stay. The food prepared by Olga was delicious and I really enjoyed learning to cook traditional Colombian dishes. Everyone in the home is very friendly and welcoming. The location in the countryside near Jericó is beautiful. Overall, it is a place to stay if you are looking to improve your Spanish and take a break from a busy city. The volunteering was well organised and the tasks well explained. There is a schedule for the day so you know when to do tasks and when to enjoy free time.

This was my first time using worldpackers, and it was a really eye opening and growing experience! The Spanish classes were very helpful, even as a beginner. I wish I would have had a better base knowledge of speaking Spanish, but Rafa did well at teaching at my level.

I had an amazing time at the hostel. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and made me feel at home, and gave a real family vibe. The lessons were challenging, yet very useful and I feel like I genuinely learned a lot and improved my Spanish. It is an amazing place and there are many things you can do in town or places nearby. Would definitely recommend to other people wanting an immersive Colombian experience:)
