I have recently taken on a finca set up on a beautiful hillside outside of San Gil (3km distance, direction Mogotes, frequent public transportation during the day). The property has a big garden, counts with homegrown fruit all year and although it is completely habitable we still need to do a lot of work. We have big plans for the place, including a permaculture garden, maloca, sacred woman's space, guesthouse... We need enthusiastic people to come and help! Volunteers that have prior knowledge/skills in building and gardening or permaculture would be perfect, but anyone willing to work is more than welcome!
We are very laid back and also enjoy the surrounding areas as much as the guests, so it's definitely not all about work. We love to get up early for a nice walk to the nearby viewpoint, which guests are very welcome to join. We are also well connected with the local spiritual community. It is important to us that volunteers coming here fall in love with this area just as much as we do (every day).

Cama en dormitorio compartido, un lindo lugar para leer y tener un contacto con la naturaleza
We have a spacious dorm with two bunks for the volunteers. The bathroom is shared with another double room. Access to the kitchen.
On your time off there is a lot to do in the local area. San Gil itself and the surrounding villages are gorgeous, and it is enjoyable just spending time walking around getting to know the locals. It is also the adventure capital, and so there are plenty of activities to be enjoyed, such as kayaking, climbing, hiking, paragliding, horseback riding. One of the hosts is also a caving/canyoning guide, so he appreciates taking the guests on expeditions!
The finca is 3 km out of town and there is access to beautiful walks and viewpoints.
Esta es una buena oportunidad para disfrutar y ayudar a terminar de construir un proyecto de hostel y workaway place. La idea es establecer un lugar para siempre, tener y obtener ayuda de los voluntarios con un trabajo de mutuo beneficio entre el voluntario y el lugar. Es mantener el espacio siempre disponible para que las persona viajeras tengan un hogar en san gil.
