Description
We are Dani and Guillaume from England and France. 4 years ago we began the project to build a hostel on a piece of land a few hundred metres from the coastal road into the jungle of Northern Colombia. It is 2 hectares and has fruit and wood trees everywhere which makes it a really unique place. There are hundreds of species of birds that live here as well.
The hostel opened November 2022 and is doing very well. It has a small intricate family vibe, with a guest kitchen and a very well stocked cocktail bar. The team is like a family and we operate efficiently, maintaining high quality service to our guests. We have an accentuation on our bar and the homemade liqueurs we produce for our in house created cocktails.
The whole hostel is offgrid and powered by solar energy.
You'll also meet 2 beautiful dogs and 2 beautiful cats.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There are so many different things to learn and try for the first time here- we like initiative and we also allow people to learn and explore skills and things they are interested in. Volunteers can set their own challenges and see if they can accomplish them.
As for the surrounding area, Buritaca and Don Diego towns are just 5min drive. Both have plenty of Colombian culture and the land is in the perfect location to access various points of interest on the coast. Tayrona National Park, Palomino, Cabo de le Vela, Punta Gallinas are just a few places nearby to visit. There is an array of fantastic beach and jungle hostels in the area providing fun activities and great quality food. This is the perfect place to get away from the crowds and explore the Colombian coast and all it has to offer.
Help
We are currently looking for volunteers who will help us run the hostel on a day-to-day basis. They will have the chance to learn about hostel software and operations. The volunteer will need to be social, charismatic and professional as they will be dealing with guests on a daily basis. We are looking for someone who has had experience working in a hostel before. It is preferable that the volunteer speaks Spanish and English fluently.
