Accommodation
The houses are old and rudimentary and need lots of work and love! You need to be physically fit to work in the fields and around the house. The terrain is steep and broken. We have lots of bugs so be prepared:)
For the moment we have a big dormitory in the main house with bunk beds (Coming) single mattresses mosquito nets, a bathroom only for volunteers and a kitchenette.
We provide simple but tasty colombian meals and eat together with local workers trying to accommodate to their customs and rhythm.
What else ...
The land it self provides enough walks and swims in the river, wild life spoting, mule rides and off road adventures!
You are only 20km from the main road going to Tayrona-Guajira (north) where you have beautiful beaches and Santa Marta-cartagena (south) mototaxi to get there from Bonda is 15000col (around 4us)
