While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $112 a day this sits a little under the $136 median for farm, food & drink. It is cheaper than 12 of the 18 farm, food & drink options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Colombia
- 1 other option in Colombia, starting with salsa caleña and social dancing in Medellin from $600.
- When to go
- Workable across 7 months of the year — Sep-Dec, Apr-Jun. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 8 days, but the honest range is 3 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
