The Experience

Based in Colombia, this is a project combining a hostel and a coffee farm and aims to offer the most authentic experience possible of the coffee region. We are looking for volunteers to help mainly at the bar of the hostel and for the bar service. We may also ask you to find, organize and drive activities for our guests. If you are open-minded, outgoing, creative, and if you like working in a team, this experience is for you!

I'm really grateful for my stay here! The people were great, the surrounding nature is gorgeous and the food amazing. My shift was shared with some other volunteers and we took orders for dinner, served it and then did an activity with the guests. I was able to join two different coffee tour for free. Thank you for everything, I hope I can return someday!

I went to volunteer here after being in the hostel in the past and absolutely loving it, one of my favorite hostels for sure. In the middle of nature, with a river and hiking around. A pool, hammocks all around. great people working there, all meals are eaten together which makes it very social. Work wise was very easy, sometimes was less than the required hours, serving food etc. was fun to do it with the other volunteers. The hosts are great people and take good care of you. Thanks for everything Mathieu, Dimitri and Mathias! Looking forward to the next opportunity I get to visit you!

Had a wonderful stay with the hostel-Family. Right when I arrived I felt directly at home. The location is paradise pure, the pool, the very diverse and amazing food and the welcoming energy of all the people at the hostel was amazing. The place is very remote, but there are still a lot of things you can do during the stay. And spending hours at the pool with all the guests is always a good option :) The tasks are very easy so it doesn't really feel like working! Everybody is very helpful as well. Would definitely recommend and come back if possible :))

I was a volunteer at the hostel for a month and it was a great experience. The team is amazing, super friendly people and very flexible. I worked together with other volunteers and with the staff and it is super chill and fun. The hostel is in an amazing place with a great view and the people in the area are super friendly. I took weekly Spanish classes in Quimbaya, a Town nearby. I also improved my Spanish by talking to the Colombian staff, they were always very helpful and patient. The ambience is always nice, we played a lot of games with the guests, party's on Saturday and movies on Sundays!

La experiencia en el hostel fué unas de las mejores que tuve. El equipo de voluntarios y trabajadores me recibió bien desde el principio, las tareas fueron claras y se cumplió lo acordado, la comida y las instalaciones son increíbles. Es un lugar en que el buen clima y la buena onda son importantes para Dimitri, el anfitrión, por eso socializar con los huéspedes es un must do. Recomiendo esta experiencia totalmente.
