A perfect day, lunch and experience. We joined Finca Avocado for a celebratory lunch during our engagement trip. 10 of us came to the farm and were delighted to learn about organic farming and taste all the produce from the farm in a 5 course lunch!
The food, ambiance and hosts exceeded everything we expected. They even performed a small “ceremony” to celebrate our engagement and we all were able to plant a radish after listening to Jens give a beautiful speech on love and friendship.
I couldn’t have asked for a better day with friends who’ve become family. Thank you so very, very much!
Superb hosts and great organic food.

Our last full day in Medellin we decided to travel about an hour outside of the city to Finca Avocado. My girlfriend and I were treated to a truly beautiful and delicious meal with ingredients from the organic garden cared for by Jens (Sebastian) and Kaphryn.
Jens walked us through each part of the organic garden starting with the lemon, clementine (orange) and avocado trees. We were able to pick our own produce while Jens shared the history and information on the life cycles of each tree and plant.
The garden was full of every vegetable and herb you could imagine. Broccoli, radish, cucumbers, squash, lettuces, peas, basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme and dill. There were many others. The smells and taste of each were stunning and showed a true difference between the produce we eat in the states vs organic.
This was a perfect way to finish an amazing meal. Overall I would say this was the highlight of our trip to Medellín and would highly recommend this experience.
This was an absolutely incredible experience, I cannot recommend it enough. Kaphryn and Sebastian were the kindest, most generous hosts and they both made us feel completely welcome from the second we were greeted at the gate.
And their home is stunning – so airy, colorful and beautiful. We learned so much touring the farm – Sebastian is quite knowledgeable about organic farming, and it was inspiring to hear about their farming journey. We also had the opportunity to try so many delicious fruits, veggies and herbs that we picked ourselves as we were walking!
The dinner itself was one of the best meals of my life, and Kaphryn was so kind to accommodate the food allergies and sensitivities of those in our group. This was such a unique way to come together with people from all over the world, learn something new, and share a beautiful meal. And honestly, it was just so much fun.
My boyfriend and I also opted to stay the night in their guest room and we were so glad we did. Waking up on the farm was absolutely perfect. In terms of transit, we took a motorcycle to and from Medellín – it was a beautiful ride – super manageable. The perfect weekend escape from the bustling city! We hope to return again soon.

Kaphryn and Jens we outstanding hosts with great attention to detail. Their finca was absolutely gorgeous and the overall experience of touring the garden and property was awesome!
The 5 course dinner was excellent using many ingredients from their garden. If you are interested in clean, healthy eating this is it. We were a group of 4 celebrating my husbands birthday and everyone enjoyed themselves and thought it was unique and fun!
What an unforgettable experience and highlight of our trip to Medellin, Columbia!
Kaphryn and Jens welcomed my partner and I with open arms and gave us a tour of their farm. We then had a glorious 5 course meal with ingredients from their garden.
The area is beautiful, the connection we shared with them was knowledgeable & personable, and the experience was one we will never forget. Thank you for being such gracious hosts! Hope to see you again soon.

Definitely the best Airbnb experience I’ve done so far. If you have the opportunity, do it!
Kaphryn and Jens created the perfect atmosphere to escape from Medellín and connect with nature. The dinner was incredible (5*), and I stayed the night which I would highly recommend. Thanks again!
This was by far my best airbandb experience. Very well organized, fun, and the food was awesome.
I also enjoyed picking the veggies and fruits and learning about how they grow the produce organically. I highly recommend this experience!
We had a lovely time at the Avocado Finca. Kaphryn and Jens are perfect hosts and made our time very special.
We stayed for two nights at their lovely house and did a very adventurous tour to an Eco Park (including Zip lining) during the day. The Avocado dinner in the garden with a super nice set up was delicious and made the day just perfect.
We can highly recommend the Avocado Finca and loved to stay even longer.
Thank you to all our guests!
6/5 stars. A few friends and I were in Medellin for a week of activities and our day with Kaphryn was the highlight of trip hands down.
Kaphryn + Jens crafted a truly unique experience on their beautiful farm, a magical day adventuring the mountains of Medellin and an unforgettable [and instagramable] dining experience, picked right from their garden.
Kaphryn and Jens are two of the kindest, most interesting human beings I’ve met long my travels and can’t recommend them enough. An absolute gem.
¡Definitivamente es un lugar mágico perfecto para conectarse con la naturaleza y conocer gente de otros lugares!
Todo lo que hay para decir de este lugar es bueno y se hace difícil explicarlo con palabras. ¡Gracias por todo!

Such unexpected beauty. Rolling hills of lush country side. Birds chirping. Freshest of air. Surrounded by advocado, orange and lemon trees and other exotics. Black organic soil with every vegetable you could think of.
Thank you for your warm hospitality, the education on organic gardening and a gourmet lunch with friends in the garden. Here you feel close to nature!
Gotta give highest recommendation to this four hour introduction to vegan for me a delightful, instructional, and engaging adventure….everyone MUST try this, specially those non vegans.
Kaphryn and Claudia may not convince you but you will come away aware of the alternatives to a healthier diet.

It was a great experience for us to stay at Finca Avocado. The hosts are awesome and super friendly, the Finca is in a super quiet, clean and green area. Fruits, vegetables and kolibris everywhere.
We had an delicious and unforgettable 5 dish dinner in the middle of the organic vegetable garden. All the food ingredients are from the own garden. Jens also explains before dinner on a round trip through the garden how they grow the food.
When staying in Medellin a must do to visit Finca Avocado.
It was a very special evening beginning with tour of the garden, an opportunity to pick our own avocados and learn about the organic gardening process. We we able to select and pick many of the vegetables which were included in our dinner.
The dinner itself was served in a lovely outdoor gazebo – a thoroughly enjoyable 4 course creative feast enhanced by wonderful conversation. Highly recommended.
What a beautiful experience–to spend time on a gorgeous farm with wonderful people. We ended our trip to Colombia with this and it was a great finale to a stunning country.
The hosts were so gracious, accommodating, and fascinating. The food was delicious and the atmosphere serene. Wish I could go back!

This was such a wonderful experience! They were so kind and soo personable. The Finca was absolutely gorgeousss and it was a nice getaway from the bustling city of Medellin.
Kathryn is an excellent chef and the setting was perfect. It was the highlight of my trip thank you so much guys!! ❤
This is absolutely one in a lifetime experience. Kaphryn and Jens are very warm and welcoming people with amazing personalities. The area is quiet and lush green.
The organic fruit and veg are very tasty as we nibbled on anything there. Herbs were super aromatic and I wish I could have a garden like that. Dinner was delicious and Jens entertained us with many stories as his life is an extraordinary and wonderful journey.
The price is nothing with what you will take away. This is a real gem that cannot be missed.
This was by far my best airbandb experience. Very well organized, fun, and the food was awesome.
I also enjoyed picking the veggies and fruits and learning about how they grow the produce organically. I highly recommend this experience!

Our family enjoyed an amazing experience. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts and their sweet lab puppy. The tour of the farm was educational and the scenery was stunningly beautiful.
We learned so much about organic farming and we have a much greater appreciation about it. We were treated to a wonderful meal under a beautiful covered patio.
The chef and hosts explained each how each of the beautifully presented courses were prepared with ingredients freshly harvested that morning. Exceptional tour!
Wow what an incredible experience! Educational and exciting. We learned how to farm organically and even picked our own fruit and vegetables.
Then we were treated to a beautiful farm to table dinner around a hand made table outside. Our stay was comfortable and the next morning we were taken on a big mountain hike where we zip lined over valleys and trekked down to a waterfall.
This experience is phenomenal. Hosts are very welcoming and they create a lovely sense of community, everyone feels involved. 5 out of 5.
SO MUCH FUN ! my friend and I went to this experience and it was phenomenal. Every detail of the experience was amazing.
They picked us up from the airport and brought us to their beautiful home where we were greeted with an amazing freshly made juice and avocado toast ( all picked from their avocado trees and garden !).
We then started our vegan bake where we made a DELICIOUS carrot cake. It was so much fun and you don’t need to be vegan to enjoy – just incredible ingredients and food.
We then toured their garden on their beautiful property and picked lots of veggies (that they let us take home !). We ended the experience with eating our baked good and homemade tea out on their patio. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful way of experiencing local culture outside the busy city.
I totally recommend doing this experience and having a wonderful morning.
