  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The accommodation is lovely but quite basic. There is no wifi, but there is phone service.

    We have a beautiful fully functioning outdoor kitchen. Compost toilets. Shower with a view ;)

    Good thing if you HAVE YOUR OWN TENT and stuff. But we do have some tents and small mattresses.

    Also, we are 25 min hike from town, there is no road access. Having boots is a plus, there are snakes out there :) Don't be scared but be cautious.

    $$$$$
    Our work requirement is minimal, 3 hours per day.
    And we share food costs, about 15 000 COP per day. We always make truly amazing food with what seems to cost very little!

    If you are willing to work a full day, we will happily pay for your food ^^

  • What else ...

    The most beautiful waterfalls in Minca are a short hike from our spot. And Minca is always there when we need to buy food, connect, party or simply change scenery.
