The Experience

Melo es en social Hostel en Capurgana, un pueblo sin carros del caribe colombiano al que solo se llega en lancha. Aquí la comida es un ritual social. Buscamos a alguien que amé la cocina para apoyar en el desayuno y/o almuerzo del día. Eres apoyo, no el responsable de la operación: el trabajo es razonable y rinde dentro del turno. Turno de mañana tardes libres de playa y piscina, y en la noche compartes 1 hora con los huéspedes en actividades.

I was an good experience overall. Capurgana is a nice place to stay and were you dont get bored. The hostel is also a unique place because of the theme. There are not so many guest at the hostel through the week and its important that your level of Spanish is good. In general no western tourists come here. You can not rely on English. I would recommend working at the hostel.

I came to do content creation and after 2 days they asked me to help with cleaning instead because there was not too much guests. Anyways, the cleaning tasks were really easy and just took me two hours to do what I needed. I also gave some dance classes for volunteers and guests. The hostel itself is good for chilling. The volunteer room could be improved. The food was good, but there was no dinner. It was good to interact with people, but it's a liberal hostel, where everything can happen and be seeing 🔞( you need to be aware about that).

The town is an experience for itself. It is quite hard to reach and because of that you still have mich untouched nature around it. That just makes it so beautiful. Secondly, the accommodation is very nice. The garden is just amazing and the rooms bacame very nice as well (part of my volunteering was to renovate the room). Ladtly, it is a the hostel-Hostel and they know how to the hostel so that can be great, too. Genrally the people were the best thing of its all. Overall I would always da volunteering again at the hostel because I rally enjoyed it and met nice people.

Ha sido la mejor experiencia que he podido tener como primer voluntariado, todos los integrantes del hostel son un amor y se siente como una familia, el pueblo de capurgana es súper bonito, tiene playas preciosas súper cerca y un montón de tours para hacer. No le cambiaría nada, me encantó la estadía. Pedro es muy buen host y te integran en todas las actividades. Pd: asegúrense de revisar el website antes de ir lol
