Build an eco-tourism project in Tayrona, Colombia

  Descripción

  Volunteering with us means joining a hands-on project where you’re not just helping—you’re contributing to climate action and the creation of a sustainable homestead in the Colombian jungle. Together we’re building something meaningful: an off-grid, permaculture-inspired homestay and co-living hostel that blends community, nature, and positive impact.
  
  You’ll play a real role in developing eco-infrastructure and improving systems that help us live more lightly on the earth. From natural building and gardening to carpentry, painting, plumbing, or even helping with marketing and hospitality—you’ll gain practical skills and see your efforts directly shape the space. Your time here leaves the land, the community, and yourself better than before.
  
  We are an outgoing, honest, and creative couple from the U.S. who left city life to pursue a more regenerative way of living. Between us, we bring experience in hospitality, project management, construction, marketing, photography, yoga, and more. We care deeply about climate change and believe in being part of the solution, not the problem. Our homestead sits on 5 acres of productive land just outside Tayrona National Park, less than 2 km from the Calabazo entrance, and only about an hour by public bus from Santa Marta. The property feels remote and wild yet is very accessible—a balance that makes it unique.
  
  Life here is simple, collaborative, and social. You’ll share meals, projects, music, and stories with us, fellow volunteers, and guests. We typically start our day as the sun rises with yoga sessions, or spending time reading and resting in hammocks, while watching monkeys and birds in the trees. We enjoy lunch breaks by the pool, campfires at night, and in the shared kitchen there are often the kind of deep conversations that only seem to happen when you disconnect from the noise of modern life.
  
  We see volunteers as teammates and family. We listen to your input, we work side by side, and we celebrate progress together. We love DIY projects, up-cycling, and finding creative solutions, and we’re excited to learn from your skills and ideas too. Wildlife and interacting with animals are part of our life here as well.
  
  This is a place for those who want to live simply, learn new skills, and leave their mark on something lasting. If you’re passionate about sustainability, curious about community living, and eager to grow—this place will feel like home.

  Algo más...

  We are less than 2 KM from the Calabazo entrance to Tayrona National Park and provide a home-like setting in nature. We encourage volunteers to hike into the park on their days off and explore all of the natural beauty in the region. The local bus passes by the main road (less than 10min walk from our property) and provides easy, cheap direct access to Santa Marta, both Tayrona Park entrances, Palomino, Minca, Buritaca and many other destinations.
