    This a hostel and cultural project open to travellers, artists, and locals. We aim to create a space where everyone feels welcome no matter what background, where people can disconnect with the world around and have time to connect with nature and themselves. We have a beautiful garden with fruit trees, bonfire area, tattoo and music studio, chill out area and also offer a variety of classes & workshops at the hostel.

  • Help

    Help

    In and around the hostel we need help with:
    - construction work
    - permaculture gardening
    - hostel maintenance
    - welcoming guests
    - social media management
    As volunteers will be helping primarily around the hostel, we require a basic understanding of both English and Spanish to make communication as easy as possible, so please only contact us if you have a good understanding of both languages.
    As part of the cultural project we may need skills such as:
    - music
    - painting
    - crafts
    - yoga
    - circus arts
    - permaculture
    - sustainable construction
    - reiki
    - natural medicine
    ... and anything else you have to offer! We are open to constant suggestions and expansion of our project.
    We ask volunteers to help with all kinds of tasks that are needed, these can vary greatly and may be spontaneous.
    We are quite flexible with volunteer hours and hope that in return volunteers can be flexible too. This is a hostel and not a business so not one day is the same and some days more help is needed than others. We offer volunteers the chance to be part of an evolving project at no cost, but ask that you seriously consider whether you have a passion to help out or are just looking for a place for free. This is 'voluntary' work after all. If you share our values and feel you have something to bring to our project then please get in touch! Positive vibes only.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We will be able to offer Workawayers a bed or tent in the hostel. This includes access to all facilities, including; the kitchen, communal areas, garden and bathrooms. The hostel can get pretty busy at times when we are at full capacity, so we ask that volunteers be mindful of the space we are sharing and help to maintain it clean and tidy for everyone to enjoy.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Volunteers will have plenty of free time to explore the wonders of Jardin, Antioquia, including;
    - walks with beautiful views
    - stunning waterfalls
    - nature reserves
    - cable car rides to the mountains
    - walking the charming streets of the pueblo
    - sipping on a 'tinto' in the central square
    ... or simply relaxing in a hammock at the hostel and admiring our pachamama.

    Can host digital nomads

    We get lots of digital nomads visiting the hostel. The internet is generally quite good though it can cut out occasionally as in the mountains we don´t always have the best connection. If that is a major problem for you there are also internet cafes close by.

    Can possibly accept pets
