Refugio Explora Verde
We are Claudia and David, a couple who loves nature, mountains and our beloved Colombia. We have a tourism company and for 7 years we have worked hard to build our Refugio, an ecolodge among the mountains, near Bogotá, about 1 hour away, 45 km from the capital and 3 km from the town of Choachí.
Our Refugio is in the middle of nature, environmentally friendly, where it serves as a meeting space for people who love mountain sports, nature, animals, and birds.
The ecolodge always has a lot of work and projects, including carpentry, gardening, building paths, planting the orchard, plants and trees, and general maintenance. We do not speak English very well, but we want to speak it very well and be able to communicate with everyone.
The volunteer will have to sleep in camping; we will provide all the equipment.
