Description
Just a year ago we opened up a small hostel in a town in the north of Colombia. It is not just any town, this is Garcia Marquez-Land where ordinary events take on unexpected turns. A land full of history and culture that since recently is developing into a tourist destination because of its literary equivalent of Macondo.
We offer accommodation and tours to national and international tourists. We teach English to locals and teach the town about its history and culture.
Tim is the owner and sole worker at the hostel. (Apart from the cleaning girl/ cook)
The volunteer work consists of;
- Promote Aracataca as a tourist destination on the Internet.
- Teach English
- Help with gardening
-SEO
-Small construcions
- Write entities in and outside Colombia to capture their interest through magic realism.
- Learn the history of town and Garcia Marquez, get to know the characters of the town.
- Attend to guests and show them around.
-Run errands in town and comunicate with local partners.
- Go to the shop to buy groceries
- Etc.
In exchange we offer;
A bed in the dormitory.
A unique insight in the heart of the real Colombia and we'll help you get lost in the imagination of the magic realism...
Breakfast and lunch.
Having a laptop with your own internet (modem/ dongle) is a must .

Ally was a great volunteer while she was in Aracataca, she's independent, creative, lovely and sociable as well as organized, dynamic, ambitious and hospitable. It was a pleasure to be working with her and i know that she'll do a great job anywhere she goes ;)
Happy & infinite travels Ally!

Had an awesome week working here. Got to run around town on a bicycle, meet super friendly locals, and the food was so tasty! Its is also one of the most charming, culture-filled places I've been on my trip so far. Quirky and perfect :)
These 2 great people are able to achieve anything that you dream of. They are excellent with people, gardens, work and ideas and it was a pleasure to have had them as part of our place. Between all the stuff they did, I definitely recommend the very tasty (and spicy) mexican food that they will prepare (in their free time).
Happy days guys, more

We worked at the Residence for three weeks. The only way that I can really describe my experience there was that of the same experience Bill and Ted had in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."
At one point I was crafting a zen garden in the backyard while the owner's cat tried to attack my legs. Chores ranged from drinking beer, website work, more
