Description
We are located on the Mendihuaca Beach, right where the river meets the ocean, and where there are local fishermen, surf schools and restaurants with delicious Caribbean food, and also we're right next to Costeño Beach where there are great parties.
Small operation, 7 private bedrooms, located 10 minutes away from Tayrona Natural Park, is a place to connect with nature, ideal for resting, where you will enjoy a quiet environment, perfect for getting away from the routine. In your free time you can walk on the beach, learn surfing, go on hikes around the beautiful surroundings, or go kayaking on the Mendihuaca River.
We currently have two paid shifts for Cleaning and Maintenance. 2 volunteers will share the reception duties. We're looking for 1 volunteer who can stay at least for 1 month.
