  Beschreibung

  Hi there!
  
  I am Camilo, we have a small hotel/hostel in the mountains of the east andes, and we are looking for people who wants to discover the cold lands of the caribbean. I speak fluent english, german and french.
  
  My family and I started this project in 2017, looking for developing the region through sustainable tourism. I live with my parents (Antonio and Aura), my two dogs (Nala and Luna) and my cat (Pepa). My brother does not come too often. My parents don't speak english too good, so if you want to practice your spanish, they will help you.
  
  Our biggest attractiveness is the nature surrounding us. The world famous Páramo de Ocetá is at just 1 hour of way, Laguna Negra is at the same distance. We are looking to make this a place for cyclists and hikers. Also rock climbers are in the right spot. We are also very well located, as the towns of Monguí and Tópaga are just 10 minutes away, and Sogamoso is at 15 minutes. We are at 2650 meters of altitude.
  
  For our exchange, we mainly need you to be around, in case we have to leave, we need someone to be here. Also, to be there for the guests, being a nice host. Just talking with them, and making the place to have a good energy.
  
  I have some interesting projects in mind, also have a small farm, that you can help us to keep it healthy. I am also willing to learn Hebrew, if you can teach me, we can arrange something. Learning some of the swiss or austrian dialects of german, is also an interesting exchange we can do.
  
  I practice Aikido, a japanese martial art derived from Jiujitsu, where the intention of attacking to hurt your opponent is not present. Also I am a rock climber, so I try to go climbing at least once per week, the same for swimming in Duitama olympic pool, or to just take a ride on my bicycle through the mountains. You are welcome to join me in any of these weekly activities.
  
  So basically, we need you to be around at the hostel, and sometimes feed our pets. If you can bring us some other knowledge or experience, we will appreciate it, and find the way to make it good for both parts. Some publications on social networks, and maybe telling your friends to come over would also be helpful.
  
  We offer you a private room, double bed, Hot water, private bathroom. Full access to the kitchen and laundry. Working speed internet. Drinking water, tea and coffee. If you want to come with someone, we can arrange to give you a very fair price. We live in a house near to the hotel. It is very important to keep everything clean, as we are a hotel for our guests.
  
  We ask you to stay for at least 2 weeks, preferably at least one month, as creating a confidence bond is important. From time to time we would gladly eat together.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We are becoming a sustainable business, which includes economy, environment and people. If you want to learn about sustainability, this is your place.
  
  Small cities of Sogamoso and Duitama are at less than 40 minutes, Bogota is at just 3 hours of way, and also in the surroundings are a lot of small towns, with almost none foreign tourist, so if you want to find a really cool place away of the tourism mass, you are looking at it. There is a bouldering gym in Sogamoso, Olympic pool in Duitama.
  
  We can borrow you 1 bicycle, just keep it with good maintenance. It is great place to hike, páramos are all around us.
  
  From time to time we can go hiking together, or cycling, or climbing. Also you are welcome to spend the day with us in our daily activities. I practice Aikido, so I am always looking for a person to practice with.
