The Experience

We are finishing a mountain jungle home in Colombia, just 4 minutes from a beautiful waterfall. The rooms are ready, and the place has nice terraces and a simple kitchen. This is a hands-on project where you’ll help paint, build, tile, and improve the space. Perfect for people who enjoy working with their hands, nature, and being part of creating something real.

5 stars! Thanks Farid! I really loved my time in San Rafael, honestly, I wish I could have stayed longer. I met so many cool people at Maracuya Hostal, and the other volunteers at the Jungle House (Alejo and Loa) were super chill and fun to be around! Farid is also such a cool and welcoming person, so thank you again for this opportunity. No doubt, if I ever find myself back in San Rafael, I'd definitely love to volunteer here again. Cascada de La Honda is absolutely beautiful, and honestly, the entire rio is! ❤️ I also want to give a special thanks to Ferney and Martin — very cool locals!

The jungle house in the mountains of san Rafael has the true feelings of a community on hands project, in which all is welcome to come, contribute their knowledge and art and create together, all that while being surrounded by a beautiful jungle, q stunning the farm and really friendly local neighbours (with which i had a chance to practice my Spanish daily) I loved the place, Because the tasks vary so much i always found something interesting and fun do to and learn from while working. The hours are flexible so each volunteer can find their convenient hours for working. And farid - amazing

Farid was a great host, always there if I had questions and attentive. I enjoyed staying in the house as it is surrounded by nature and seeing all kinds of different animals or insects that I had never seen before was truly magical. The neighbours were also very lovely and kind people and we always had a good time when they came to say hi. The work hours are very flexible, you choose when you work as long as you do your 5 hours, which is really nice and work isn't too hard either. In the end, I had a good time and enjoyed the tranquility and peace.

Cómo mi primera experiencia de voluntariado fue asombrosa, aprendí a compartir con la naturaleza en un lugar fenomenal , con fantásticos compañeros internacionales cerca de la naturaleza cerca del agua pura, el anfitrión cumplió con todo lo concertado y me ayudó y escuchó en mis necesidades . Me encantaría volver en alguna nueva ocasión. Lo mejor de la experiencia fue la gente local su bondad y amor es algo que llena el alma.
