I stayed 2.5 weeks at the Valley Hostel Tayrona and honestly had such an amazing time. The whole team working there is incredibly nice and welcoming and made me feel like family when I arrived. The work was pretty chill and easy to understand and the working hours were totally manageable aswell. In the evening often all the volunteers and the staff members joined in on the daily activities and came together afterwards to chill and talk, which I always really enjoyed. Thanks to all the staff for everything...I am gonna miss you all!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Valley hostel, this was my first time doing a work exchange so I didn't really know what to expect but was I blown away by how chill and relaxing this place was. Every single worker was so kind and lovely and always had a smile on their face. Laura, the manager was very sociable and treated as more of a friend than one of her employe. I would also like to give a shout-out to Dubon and Santiago who would always make sure I was having a good time. Overall, think I got lucky with this work exchange as I don't think I'll be able to find anything that'll top it!
