Description
Hola, I'm Camilo, a 26 year old Colombian who's always been very passionate about traveling/backpacking - which made me want to create an amazing place for travelers to come and enjoy. We currently count with a full time manager and a lovely Colombian lady who comes to make typical breakfast every morning, we've found that with 2-3 volunteers at a time, we can do tasks smoothly while creating the unique vibe volunteers can bring to hostels, hopefully feeling at home and sharing that energy with guests.
The hostel is placed in Jericó, one of the most beautiful towns in Antioquia/Colombia. Just a 5 minute walk from the main square, this is a beautiful location with a lot of exposure to locals, a river and many amazing walks. There are several good restaurants in town, all within walking distance; from pizzerias to local menú del días and great street food, so you'll always have options. There are river swimming spots just 30 minutes away walking, for anyone who wishes to visit. There's a variety of museums in town, ranging from history to music and art, which makes this town of the most cultured in Colombia.
It's possible to rent both bikes (for volunteers, it's free!) and motorbikes at the hostel, for those who want to expand their horizons :).
P.S: We ask for a minimum stay of 2 weeks, but longer is even better!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a Colombian, it's always a pleasure to teach travelers about our culture and language. It's easy to interact with the locals of Jericó, practice Spanish, learn how a Hostel is set up, and how it operates. You'll have a lot of nature nearby to have beautiful views everyday.
Help
We're looking for motivated people to help with cleaning, laundry, small daily tasks and general help within the hostel.
We also welcome volunteers who are interested in learning reception/management tasks :)

Rachel was an amazing volunteer who we could always count on. She did more than was expected of her, we can only encourage any other hosts to receive her :)

I had a wonderful time volunteering here. Camilo is a brilliant host and really took care of me during my stay. I mainly cleaned/ got rooms ready for the guests. It was easy and chilled work, I really felt at home and ended up staying a lot longer than originally planned.

It was so nice working in this hostel! My other workaway opportunity was cancelled the evening before I would have gone there. I was so glad that Camilo just said: „Well, no problem with spontaneousness. Would you like to come tomorrow to my place?" I stayed there about one week even though normally the minimum was longer. I would have loved to… read more

Very friendly and respectful people, followed the hostel rules and did the work that needed to be done, however they left abruptly without notice because of the internet, I understand that it is needed for their work, but internet leaving under 1 hour for 2 days isn’t an excuse to leave after telling me only 1 hour before hand. Also in the… read more

Karl was like a German brother to me, he's super reliable, friendly and just such a nice energy to have around. His work is perfect, he’ll integrate and make the place feel like his home as well, in general I can only feel gratitude. Hope to have you back, Karl.

The Hostel was my first ever Workaway experience and I don't think there could be anything better.... The place, the work and the host himself are incredible.

I volunteered in the hostel for two weeks and I really enjoyed my time there. Camilo is a great person, always down for a chat. The work is really easy with no pressure at all. It's a family environment so you'll always feel welcomed. The city is really nice and I always felt safe. There are few nice walks and nice small museums and… read more

Maggie is a true volunteer, we were lucky to have been able to have her. She put her heart and soul into the hostel, doing her part and beyond in the duties, but also creating an amazing vibe for the guests. Thanks Maggie for sharing a bit of life with us, we hope you bring your smile and help to many other projects!

I volunteered for 2.5 weeks at this amazing hostel! Camilo and the other volunteers/long term guests became true friends and made me feel completely at home. The work was simple, cleaning the toilets, kitchen and basic upkeep of the hostel (usually about 2 hours in the morning followed by a few other tasks throughout the day).

My experience at this hostel was really incredible, from the first day I felt very welcomed by Camilo and comfortable. The work is not too hard and you have a lot of nature to explore around the town. Jerico is a beautiful, charming village. I really recommend this workaway.

Eduarda was my first volunteer, I didn't even know what to ask her to do, yet for over a month she helped me run my hostel, saw the needs of the place and adapted by herself. She also left a mural that reminds us everyday of what an honor it was to have her in our family!

Mi voluntariado en Jericó fue una maravilla de experiencia! Con Camilo todo fue genial y con la otra voluntaria también. Te sientes en familia! Todos los días llega gente a la que conocer y siempre hay algo para hacer en Jericó. Las vistas de la ciudad son increíbles! Lo recomiendo al 100%
