About this opportunity

A small family farm growing coffee and plantain on steep green hills. Volunteers join the family in seasonal work: planting, harvesting during the picking season, drying beans and maintaining the garden. Evenings are quiet; the nearest town is a 20-minute walk. A good fit for travelers who want to slow down and practise Spanish every day.
