    Descrição

    Welcome to a Butterfly Sanctuary and Cultural Experience Near Cali, Colombia!
    We are a warm, welcoming, and passionate couple who have dedicated our lives to nature, education, and environmental conservation. Just 15 minutes from Cali, we have built a one-of-a-kind butterfly sanctuary and environmental education center. Here, you’ll find yourself surrounded by vibrant butterflies (15 native species!), lush gardens, hummingbirds, and an incredible 2,000 m² to-scale map of Colombia that offers visitors an immersive exploration of the country’s biodiversity.

    For over 20 years, we have been creating transformative experiences for tourists, school groups, and local communities, blending science, art, and storytelling to inspire a deep connection with nature. Thanks to our dedication, our sanctuary has consistently ranked among the top attractions in Cali on TripAdvisor (Top 3 over the past four years, and #1 in 2015!).

    We now invite you to join this meaningful journey and help nature bloom!

    How You Can Help
    We are looking for enthusiastic Workaway volunteers to support us in key areas:

    Workshops & Education – Assist with interactive workshops for school groups, helping to ignite curiosity about nature and conservation.

    Butterfly Rearing & Lab Help – Support the delicate process of raising butterflies and caring for these beautiful pollinators.

    Digital Content & Online Presence – Help capture the magic of the sanctuary through photography, videography, graphic design, or social media management.

    🌟 Minimum stay required: 3 months
    We ask for a minimum commitment of three months so that your contribution can have real impact and you can fully engage with the project and community.

    Since we receive many Workaway requests, we can only host volunteers with experience in at least one of these areas (the more, the better!):
    ✅ Environmental education or helping with children
    ✅ Performing arts (theater, music, puppetry, clowning, circus arts, etc.)
    ✅ Biology, zoology, or butterfly-related knowledge
    ✅ Graphic design, photography, or videography

    ⚠️ Important: Please apply only if you have experience in these areas, as we are unable to accommodate general volunteers at this time. We host only one volunteer at a time, so unfortunately we cannot accept couples or groups.

    ✨ Bonus skills: If you love cooking, enjoy gardening, or can help us practice English, that’s a wonderful plus!

    What We Offer
    🌿 A comfortable bed in a private room with breathtaking views over Cali
    🌿 An immersive experience at the intersection of nature, culture, and education
    🌿 The chance to connect with local communities and exchange knowledge
    🌿 Free time to explore Cali and its surroundings: cycling, Cristo Rey, salsa festivals, markets, and more
    🌿 A truly unique opportunity to leave a positive mark, helping inspire environmental awareness and support biodiversity conservation

    Why Join Us?
    By volunteering with us, you won’t just be supporting an eco-project—you’ll be part of a movement that uses nature as a bridge for education, cultural exchange, and peace building. Our gardens and butterflies inspire harmony, and your tasks will help children and visitors see that diversity (in nature and people) is a source of beauty and strength.

    Here, we don’t just welcome volunteers—we welcome friends who share our passion for learning, sharing, and making the world a little greener.

    If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
