Informationen
Beschreibung
We are a French/English couple (who speak to each other in Spanish for anyone wanting to practice). We have a beautiful piece of land with 6000metre squares in the village of Guachaca next to a crystal clear river about 30 minutes walk from the carribean ocean. We have been open to the general public for about 3 years with our camping/hostel that has various types of accomodation and a bar/restaurant that´s a pirate ship! We have built 5 cabins, 2 dormitories, 4 double rooms and a hammock area and what we can proudly say are some of the best bathrooms in the Caribbean. We do almost all the construction ourselves and can always do with a little extra help in carrying out our tasks especially now that we not only have construction to work on but also general tasks now that we have the hostel up and running. We have 4 lovely dogs, and 2 cats and we enjoy the company of many other animals that come and go including a family of monkeys that live in the tree in front. We are covered in fruit trees including avocado, mango, papaya and coconut, amongst others. We not only sell these we also use them to make interesting products such as coconut oil. We work hard but we also play hard, we are both music lovers, we both DJ, mostly techno music and we have a soundsystem which we use to organise underground parties in the area, both big and small. We sleep in an old north american school bus that´s been converted into a house.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We have many friends in the area and we all tend to get involved with each other´s projects, many involving local communities. We also hold small events at our place involving the local community here in Guachaca with the idea of having a positive impact around us. We recently hosted a circus and art fesival, the first of many. Anyone who comes to stay can join us in all the things we do, you will have the opportunity to get to know a different side of the Colombian Carribean and enjoy many wonders that most tourists never get to.
Arbeit
We are looking for help in all areas. Especially in construction and in the general running of the hostel. We also need help with many general things including the veg patch, we have a lot of plantain trees that need maintaining. Fencing, tree planting, raking, painting, furniture making, cleaning. For any artists out there we have lots of creative space and love all forms of art. Dogsitting, and well anything else that might come up...everyday is different!

Accomodation will be in bunkbed, you may be asked occssionally to move into a tent for a couple of days if we sell out for an event for example, but you will still have covers and a mattress. The idea is accomodation and lunch in exchange for 4 or 5 hours work a day, we can easily accomodate different diatery requirements and promise that lunches will be varied and substantial. You would be expected to fend for yourself for breakfast and dinner. There is full access to the kitchen and it is very well equipped.
Was noch ...
We live a short walk from shops and the main highway which goes from Santa Marta to Palomino and beyond, where you can take a bus to any nearby places on the route. We are just 7km from Tayrona park and a short walk or busride away from a million other natural wonders (beaches, waterfalls etc.). We have surfboards and fishing rods and tubing rings.

Vicki and Tony were great hosts, two friendly and welcoming persons. They’ve been around, know the area and always had good recommendations on what to do. The village seems authentic and not really touristy, which we liked. You can get anything you need in walking distance.
