we are 4 French, Maël 30 years old, Loïs 33 years old, Tristan 31 years old and Benjamin 32 years old.
We built a wooden hostel in northern Colombia, on the Caribbean coast, next to a small fishing village called Capurgana.
The site is located by the sea, on a small bay between the tropical forest and the Caribbean Sea.
The land is 2500m², we have a main structure which serves as a bar, restaurant and meeting/resting space. Around it, bungalows spread over the entire surface of the land. around the bungalows we have a garden of fruit trees..
