    Volunteer Opportunity in La Calera, Colombia Jan 4-12

    Hello! I'm Yenny, and I live an hour outside of Bogotá in a beautiful apartment with stunning mountain views in La Calera. I love traveling, so I’m looking for volunteers to help with two main tasks:

    1. Cat Care: Take care of my two adorable cats when I’m away.
    2. Apartment Help: Assist with basic chores around the apartment.

    In exchange, you’ll have a peaceful place to stay, access to high-speed internet, and the chance to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. If you love cats, also work online, you'll find this environment ideal.

    If you're interested, I’d love to hear from you!

    While you care for my cats during my absence, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy scenic walks in the mountains and savor excellent Colombian coffee with breathtaking views.

    This arrangement offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a peaceful retreat in nature during your travels.

    Thank you for considering this opportunity!

    I’m looking for a responsible and caring traveler to stay at my place in La Calera, Colombia, and help with a few key tasks:

    Caring for My Cats:
    My two cats are adjusting to a new environment, so they can be a bit shy and nervous, especially around loud noises. It’s essential to maintain a calm and quiet atmosphere to help them feel secure.
    Your main responsibilities include keeping the cats indoors (they should not go outside), feeding them, providing fresh water daily, cleaning their litter box, and giving them some attention and playtime.
    You’ll also need to take out the trash regularly.

    Helping Around the Apartment:
    I could use some help with basic household chores to keep the space clean and inviting. This includes watering the plants, sweeping the floors, and keeping your bathroom clean.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You’ll have a cozy private room with a comfortable double bed. Feel free to bring your own food. I’m mostly vegetarian, so I’d prefer no heavy meat cooking.

    In La Calera you can explore local shops and restaurants just minutes away. There are also convenient laundromats nearby if you need. While you’re here, make sure to take care of yourself and enjoy the comfort and convenience of the space.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Transportation from Bogotá to La Calera is straightforward, with frequent buses departing from Calle 72 and 13 (near a transmilenio station in Bogotá) every 15-20 minutes via Transportes Teusaca for $5,500 COP. You can walk up to the apartment from the last stop. Uber can take you here (check on the app for fares) and I can provide numbers of people who can transport you from and to Bogotá.

    During your time off, consider day trips to nearby towns like Guasca or take a refreshing walk in the Páramo de Chingaza. Embrace the tranquility of La Calera and its beautiful surroundings during your stay!
