Terra del Congost

We are a small eco-tourism project designed with the intention of providing the experience of 'returning home'. For us, returning home means returning to the shelter of nature, to our roots, to the wild, to the simple.

Andreu and Amber fell in love in 2004 with this place isolated between mountains and unique for its energy, natural setting and panoramic views. For years of hard work they rebuilt some medieval ruins and abandoned dryland fields into a beautiful eco-camping. With the help of new partners, collaborators and volunteers we have equipped the camp with showers, a communal kitchen, services, living room and a Bar-Txiringuito.

Today we have 7 accommodations (houses, yurts, bungalows) and several camping areas. We offer a sustainable, conscious and ecological tourism service and we host occasional events such as yoga and meditation retreats, bioconstruction workshops, dance and music.

We remain in a growth phase, both in infrastructure and team and we are always open to sharing our space with people interested in contributing their grain of sand to the project.

We are surrounded by an unbeatable natural environment. The impressive Congost de Mont-Rebei is only 20 minutes away and there are numerous climbing areas, rivers and swamps nearby where you can bathe. If you come without a vehicle, we will do everything possible to enable you to make the essential visits to the area, accompanying you or lending you one so you can be autonomous!

Everyone who joins the project becomes another member of the family, which we like to call Tribe. We all have our own private space to enjoy calm and tranquility, but we like to share the midday meal and some leisure activities (go to the river, make music, do paddlesurf...).

Volunteers have their own caravan, with a kitchen, fridge and private plot. We normally also have a van that they can use to run errands or go explore the area.

The typical exchange is 5 hours a day, from 9am to 2pm, Monday to Friday.

All meals are covered, although breakfast and dinner are normally not eaten together (volunteers have access to a pantry to cook in their caravan or in the communal kitchen).

At the moment the main tasks we need to cover with volunteers are the construction of new accommodations (mainly with wood), reconstruction of dry stone walls, gardening and decoration. We could also require help cleaning common areas or attending guests at reception or the bar.

Skills in carpentry, electricity, plumbing and construction will be especially valued. If you have other skills or knowledge that you think may be useful for the project (photography and video, social media, crafts...) we would be delighted if you propose them to us!

My experience at the DC accommodation was beautiful. Special thanks to Judith and Carmen❤️, who welcomed me wonderfully, and of course to Andreu, Amber and Mateu (the owners) for their warm welcome and for always being attentive to our needs.
I was lucky to spend my birthday in this place and it was a beautiful day, full of joy, good moments, and lovely people with whom I could share it. Without a doubt, that made my experience even more special. I carry precious memories and a lot of gratitude. Thank you for everything, the accommodation! ❤️ I hope life brings me back to this place.

I had the most amazing experience at the lodge. It is unbelievably beautiful and a dream to have gotten to spend a month there. I met such kind people who brought great energy to the tasks which made the work not feel like work at all. Carmen was very communicative and explained all the tasks very well (She also has the best laugh I have ever heard). Amber and Andreu have created such a special and welcoming environment. I feel so lucky to have gotten to be a part of the lodge team even for just a short while. Moltes Gracies!!!

It was something incredible and magical that helped me heal the things I had pending and to grow as a person. I have eaten like a king and I have been treated very well; the moonless nights seem unreal. So beautiful is the starry sky as I go up a little hill here. I have lacked nothing in any sense and I have felt at home. A thousand thanks to the lodge, we will see each other again! Very grateful for the personal and spiritual growth from connecting with this site.
