Description
We are located in Jardin, Antioquia (3-4h south of Medellin, WE ARE NOT IN MEDELLIN !!! ) just 15min walking form the center, right in the middle of nature, just in front of a waterfall and 5min walking from rivers with swimming spots.
We are looking for some help with the costumer service(reception) helping with the clients who are not capable to speak spanish, make some beds and chill with the family at the hostel!
We would like to offer an eco-friendly destination, in connection with mother earth to travellers coming to Jardin. The place counts with the presence of wildlife and lots of birds in the garden (gallito de roca, tucaneta esmeralada, barranquero and many others)
Our vegan restaurant is just next to the pond of the hostel (with lotus and koi fishes), offering a healthy and more sustainable option to eat in Jardin with only fresh and local products.
The hostel is multicultural space, we host people from all over the world and speaking many different languages, but we mainly speak spanish, which makes the perfect occasion to learn it for those who don't yet :)
