Program Details
Enjoy a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere among nature in Eje Cafetero, while you support us with your magical mechanic hands. The bicycles we use have simple or double suspension, which you should be able to asses as well. The guests of our hostel can use them both for simple routes around coffee plantations surroundings, as well as for more advanced mountain guided tours. Depending on the day and the use given to the bikes, you could be performing a general check and maintenaince, or some more severe reparations. The key is to have the maximum number of bicycles in perfect conditions and ready to be used. Of course there will be days there is nothing else to repair or maintain on the biclcyes: this is where we would appreciate your helping hand in some minor maintanance around the house and/or the garden. And of course you will be able to use the bicycle for exploring the nature around us.
