    Description

    We are Dani and Guillaume from England and France. 4 years ago we began the project to build a hostel on a piece of land a few hundred metres from the coastal road into the jungle of Northern Colombia. It is 2 hectares and has fruit and wood trees everywhere which makes it a really unique place. There are hundreds of species of birds that live here as well.
    We opened a hostel in November 2022 and keep it functioning during high season (from December to March) every year and then turn it into a long term rental place with various accommodations on offer. It has a big shared space with a shared kitchen and is The team is like a 100% powered by solar energy. You'll also meet 2 beautiful dogs and 2 beautiful cats.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There are so many different things to learn and try for the first time here- we like initiative and we also allow people to learn and explore skills and things they are interested in. Volunteers can set their own challenges and see if they can accomplish them.
    As for the surrounding area, Buritaca and Don Diego towns are just 5min drive. Both have plenty of Colombian culture and the land is in the perfect location to access various points of interest on the coast. Tayrona National Park, Palomino, Cabo de le Vela, Punta Gallinas are just a few places nearby to visit. There is an array of fantastic beach and jungle hostels in the area providing fun activities and great quality food. This is the perfect place to get away from the crowds and explore the Colombian coast and all it has to offer.
