Eco Yoga Farm: Volunteer in Colombia

We are an eco-village (non profit organization) located 10km from the town of Cartago, in the Cauca Valley (3 hours from Cali and 1 from Pereira) in a unique rural environment. The Park is settled in the heart of the Colombian Andes; the area is very green and natural, surrounded by fields, with incredible views of sunrises and sunsets. The atmosphere here is relaxed and friendly.

Volunteer
Our Volunteer program is specially designed for those who want to experience an eco friendly way of life; you can take part in sustainable activities, such as organic farming, eco building, vegetarian cooking, etc., while at the same time experiencing the quietness and harmony afforded by yoga and meditation.

Volunteers work for 4 1/2 hours a day in sustainable activities during the morning. Teaching Art, English, Sports and Ecology at the local primary schools is part of our volunteering program for those who wish to participate. In the afternoon they are free to take part in the farm activities (hatha yoga, meditation, music therapy with oriental instruments, pranayama programme, movies, etc.), or simply relax, read a book, take a walk through the surrounding rural environment, play soccer with the locals or take a boat ride and swim in the Cauca river.

All year around, volunteers from all over the world come to the farm to discover their skills, get in contact with mother earth, help us improve our local community, get to know new people, learn Spanish and enjoy nature and the experience of living in our community.

Please note that we request our visitors and volunteers to abstain from intoxicants and extramarital relationships to preserve the sanctity of the project.
