Experiencing a Nicaraguan farm

Not far away from the Nicaraguan towns with modern facilities, you can still find a rural culture based on manpower and technologies that have been outdated in other parts of the world for centuries.

If you would like to spend a day in the fields and try to manage an ox barrel, cut with a machete, or simply get in touch with rural lifestyle, we organize the contact to one of our neighbors.

During the year many different tasks are done on a farm, such as sewing, weeding, fencing, harvesting and splitting firewood. The work you will be introduced to will therefore depend on the season.

The day will be a combination of working and learning. Your host will have time to teach you how to prepare the tools and the working techniques. If you like, after work, in the afternoon, a representative from the community will take you around and show you other aspects of community life, such as education, health or churches.
 

Prices:
A day on a farm, including work & other activities 5 US$
Sleeping in a farmer's house 3 US$
A meal in the farmer family about 2 US$
