I stayed for 2 weeks in the eco village. It was an amazing experience. I felt the most connection to Mother Earth. Everybody was friendly and welcoming, I hurt my foot whilst at there and everyone was very caring and adapted tasks for me so I could still join in. I learnt a lot about permaculture from Steve who is a very inspirational man. I really hope to visit again in the future and do the permaculture course.

I had wonderful six weeks in the eco village and it was the most intense time I ever had while travelling. I learned so much about living together, mindfulness, communication, myself and of course permaculture. The connection to nature and to other people was incredible beautiful. We took all care of each other, shared a lot and had delicious cacao together. I will definitely come back, Thanks for everything

People are super cool and kind. There is a daily 65k cop charge (15usd) that is not written. For all the rest is a deep nature contact experience

Amé mi experiencia en Teikú. Todo lo que me gusta de un lugar está aquí. Actividades como Yoga, danza, círculos de palabra y música, la posibilidad de hacer Temazcal, alimentación vegetariana, cacao orgánico y local, gente bonita, amable y de diferentes continentes. Practiqué mucho mi inglés, hice nuevas amistades y me encantó vivir diariamente en conexión con la naturaleza. Recomiendo en los tiempos libres disfrutar del río, hacer caminatas en la montaña y visitar sitios turísticos cercanos como Palomino, Minca y el Parque Tayrona. Gracias Teikú! Ya son mi familia.

Si eres vegano, el lugar te gustará, Pero si no lo eres, es mejor que optes por otro.lugar o experiencia, allí solo consumen los vegetales que recogen de las siembras y la mayoría están en mal estado. El precio inicial de aporte nunca se respeto, me cobraron mucho más del valor que aparece en la plataforma, las habitaciones sucias y las sábanas pequeñas como para un bebé recién nacido. Tuvimos la visita de los entes de control de policía nacional de Colombia y ellos no tenían los documentos legales del lugar. La verdad al ver esto y otros factores más decidí terminar mi voluntariado antes
