Hobu Montaña

A volunteer should choose Hobu Montaña because it is an ideal place to disconnect, breathe clean air, and live in the mountains without straying too far from the city. We are just a few minutes from Bogotá, but surrounded by nature, tranquility, and rural scenery.

Our accommodation mainly hosts domestic travelers, so it's a great opportunity to interact with locals, get to know Bogotá's culture better, and enjoy a close, friendly, and authentic experience.

Hobu Montaña is also a perfect space for those seeking time for reflection, contact with nature, and simple activities that help reconnect with what is essential. It is not an extreme or uncomfortable experience, but a calm opportunity to collaborate, learn about rural tourism, and be part of caring for a small, welcoming, and growing project.

At Hobu Montaña we want volunteers to feel part of the team and of the house. We aim to build a close, respectful, and friendly relationship based on trust, collaboration, and good treatment. We are an open, diverse, and inclusive space.

Our core team consists of two people who support the main activities of the accommodation, especially maintenance, care of spaces, and guest attention. I am a university professor in business, entrepreneurship, and sustainability topics, and I am also a nature lover. My partner really enjoys cooking, and both of us are passionate about travel, hospitality, and meeting people from different places.

Hobu Montaña is our home and our long-term project: a calm, friendly, and comfortable place to disconnect in the mountains, very close to Bogotá. We built it inspired by the way we like to be treated when we travel: warmth, respect, comfort, and attention to details. We hope volunteers will live that same experience while helping us care for and improve this space.

Uno de los mejores voluntarios que asistí, realmente me sentí en casa. El espacio es hermoso e ideal para conectar con la naturaleza y la paz que trae, el tiempo que estuve conecté mucho conmigo. Andrés y Mario son un amor, me atendieron en todo lo que podía necesitar, incluso sin pedirlo, me hicieron sentir cómodo en todo momento. Definitivamente lo recomiendo si buscan un lugar para disfrutar de la paz que tiene el lugar y brindarle una experiencia relajante y atenta a los huéspedes en los días que hay reservas. Estoy agradecido de haber tenido la oportunidad de apoyar este proyecto

Franco, thank you very much for your support. Delighted to have hosted you and to have met you. Your Reiki experience with the dogs is phenomenal, and your autonomy in the tasks entrusted speaks very well of you. A big hug and here you will always have a place.

El camping montaña me dio la bienvenida a colombia, aprendí de la cultura colombiana y su comida. también aprendí a preparar algunos de los platillos que le ofrecen a los huéspedes. El trabajo suele ser fines de semana y es atendar a los huéspedes y aveces toca un poco de jardinería entre semana. si te gusta estar en el campo, despertar con el canto de los pájaros, practicar tu español, y el frío (está en las montañas) entonces te gustaria este voluntariado. gracias al equipo por la bienvenida a este lindo país !

Anahí, thanks to you, you have definitely stepped down from the volunteer position on a high note; we're going to miss you a lot, and you know you'll always have a place and, above all, friends here. A big hug.

Amé mi experiencia en el camping, y estoy eternamente agradecida con Andrés y Mario por su hospitalidad. Se respetaron los horarios y las actividades, las actividades solo eran los fines de semana así que podías disfrutar de muchas cosas durante los días de semana: amaneceres y atardeceres hermosos, ir a los miradores en los alrededores, y por supuesto la rica comida de Mario. Las personas ahí te hacen sentir en casa. Espero poder regresar algún día otra vez!

Voluntariar no the camping Montaña foi uma experiência maravilhosa. O lugar é tranquilo e ideal para se conectar com a natureza. O trabalho era um pouco mais puxado nos finais de semana, mas entre segunda e quinta-feira havia bastante tempo livre. Mas no final, melhor de toda a experiência foi, com certeza, haver conhecido Andres, Mario e toda a equipe que trabalha em the camping Montaña. Foram sempre muito gentis comigo e pude aprender muito nas conversas. Muchísimas gracias por todo!
