Details
Description
ENG:
Our biological reserve is located 1 hour from Santa Marta and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Tayrona Park in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
The Reserve covers an area of 30 hectares of protected forest. We are a successful reforestation project and plant sanctuary. At the moment we are a lodge, but we are shifting our direction slightly to focus more on the environmental part and retreat. We are looking into turning more into a retreat center (advice welcome).
In this place you will find some wild animals that have found their retirement way to us, a wide collection of plants, indigenous culture and pure nature blizz.
The reserve is a quiet place, we dont have parties, nor are crowded. Its more a place to experience to be in nature.
Nearby you will find waterfalls, cacao farm, a jungle bar and lovely neighbours with interesting proyects.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Art Projects
Language practice
Help with Eco Projects
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Farmstay help
Hospitality/Tourism
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The reserve offers a lot of information and a good working experience in tropical nature. If you wish to learn something, you are always welcome to ask. Depending on the time of the stay, the responsibilities will be more and also the knowledge. Here you will interact most of the times with locals.
Help
We are looking at the moment for:
- Yoga
We are looking for a volunteer who can help us for a season with the Yoga and meditation classes on site.
- Garden and maintenance
Here you will help us with our plant nursery, helping us with our plant collections, maintaining the garden and keeping the reserve suited for visitors walking through it.
- wood work.
These tasks are the main ones we need at the moment, but we like to mix those with other tasks in the reserve, like gardening, English teaching, maintenance, a bit of construction, etc… whatever is needed during the day.
- Hospitality
Sometimes give a hand to our staff by translating what the guest needs (not all speak english). Also helping them with english lessons. Helping wherever the work is necessary. No worries! you will not be cleaning toilets or helping in a kitchen!!!
- If you think you can help us with our goal of turning the place into a retreat center or with environmental proyects, please let us know.
- If you like painting murals, please let us know =)
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Intermediate
Accommodation
At the moment we have a shared room for volunteers with a shared bathroom located outside. They use a volunteer kitchen.
Depending on the lenght of the stay and if you are a couple or a single traveller, we have different options for staying. Please be aware that during the rainy season it is a bit humid, as it is the jungle.
What else ...
Within the Reserve there are some ancient Tayrona trails and a river where you can swim and relax.
Around the reserve there are many waterfalls and also the opportunity to discover more trails and terraces.
The Reserve can be reached by foot from Minca walking 5 hours.
It is very important to have BASIC SPANISH understanding because the tasks in the reserve are going to be guided by a person who does not speak any english.
Also important is that the volunteer travels with health insurance.
We supply rice, beans, salt sugar and oil. We recommend the volunteer to bring the food for a week (like vegetables, fruits, eggs, animal protein, etc that the volunteer usually eats). There are options to bring food up without having to go to the city, so no worries. We have a kitchen that has all the necessities for the volunteers to cook.
We kindly appreciate you commit to the time you are planing in coming.
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
We have starlink in the reserve, however not great for ppl that need to have conference calls because of the interruptions. However is good for other kind of work.
Space for parking camper vans
We have a space where we can accommodate 1 van max.
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two

The profile doesn't do justice to just how beautiful this place is, it's a really magical place and a great way to immerse yourself in the jungle.
The work is relaxed, and all the staff are really nice and really knowledgable. Its a great project to be a part of, I couldn't recommend it enough!
