    Accommodation

    The accommodation is lovely but quite basic. There is no wifi, but there is phone service.

    We have a beautiful fully functioning outdoor kitchen. Compost toilets. Shower with a view ;)

    If possible, BRING YOUR OWN TENT and stuff. We do have some tents and small mattresses but they might not be in perfect condition.

    Also, we are 30 min hike from town, there is no road access. Having boots is a plus, there are snakes out there :)

    $$$$$
    Our work requirement is minimal, 3 hours per day.
    And we share food costs, about 15 000 COP per day. We always make truly amazing food with what seems to cost very little!

    If you are willing to work a full day, we will happily pay for your food :)

  • What else ...

    What else ...
