  Description

  My name is Samuel. Besides being the hostel's owner, I am also a passionate traveler and athlete so I understand the interests of people who like to travel and get to know new destinations and engage with local cultures. This is a family-run hostel, with each member of my family contributing something different and ensuring that guests have the most pleasant stay possible. The hostel is located next to the museum of the Muisca indigenous culture in Sogamoso. The hostel has extensive green areas with an organic garden and volunteers will have the opportunity to visit various natural, sporting and cultural attractions located nearby.
