Description
We aré a generous spirited Colombian natural reserve who has been building an ecologically agroforestal project for the last 7 years. The reserve resides on 35 hectares in the peaceful and beautiful Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
We want to grow our organization with volunteers to give many people the chance to experience being part of this project.
We receive no more then 3 visitors at a time and there are not many neighbors, so if you are looking for social life this is not the place, there might not be much apart for the Kogi Family that live there and myself. The ideal is that you bring your own food.

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.
Learning about farming and permaculture in general, take part of a great project that seeks to transform agriculture involving ecological and social local tissues plus you can balance your carbon footprint by reforesting.
As an interchange we offer accommodation and healthy and delicious own grow vegetables. Our level of English is good, but we have a great experience in teaching Spanish to foreigners, which can be another possibility of Exchange.

We are looking for skilled volunteers to help do construction work, gardening our different food plantation, give care to our animals and develop art projects with the locals.

The National Park of Tayrona is a vast protected area of 150 square km on the Caribbean coast. Visiting Tayrona is an excellent way to explore a rainforest and spot animals for days without a guide. The trails are well marked, and the hikes are easy. Plus, the visitors don’t have to carry a heavy backpack filled with bottles of water and foods because there are campings nestled along the coast.

They undoubtedly left a positive mark on our project.
The plants, the peaceful place itself, the sound of the animals at night, the food gathering and cooking made it to a great adventure. We were there by ourselves, with the company of Fermin, a local of the kogi tribe. An exciting encounter and experience that we don't… read more
