We need hands to install a nursery that will supply the kitchen of our hotel. It's a job that requires construction skills and a love for planting and gardening.

I am very grateful for the opportunity. It is a magical place, in a very pristine area of the Pacific, perfect for disconnecting, connecting with nature, and getting to know another culture. The food is delicious and the activities are incredible: kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, whale watching, turtle releases, and the Nabugá waterfall. Watching and hearing whales from the hotel was very special. 🐋
Volunteering could be better organized, and being in the jungle, you have to be open to its conditions and to cultural dynamics that can be strong, especially for women.

The experience is incredible because of the place. Waking up in front of the ocean, seeing whales almost every day, living to the rhythm of the sun, enjoying nature in every moment...
It's a paradise where the volunteer has to find their place and it's not easy. We are not workers nor part of the management team, which means being in a limbo sometimes difficult to manage, due to a lack of consideration and communication. The fact of being a woman can also complicate situations.
The tasks are fine but the volunteering needs to be organized a little better, as it has enormous potential.

The facilities are incredible and the location, far from Mutis, makes it a paradisiacal place. Waking up and enjoying so much nature is a unique experience. However, the volunteer experience has difficulties: I perceived management that was unfriendly and unreceptive to criticism, tensions with some locals (Afro-descendants), overbearing responsibilities (such as taking care of the hotel). We also faced tense situations with the food and possible “machismo” situations toward women. A beautiful place, but with a lot of room for improvement. If you want to know more, message me to tell you.

Dear Nelson, thank you for sharing your experience and observations. We regret that some aspects did not meet your expectations. Chocó has cultural dynamics and forms of coexistence that are different, which represent learning opportunities and challenges for everyone. We appreciate your comments on communication, management, coexistence, and nutrition, and we will review them. We believe in respectful dialogue and continuous improvement to enrich the volunteers' experience. We wish you all the best.

An incredible place, right in the middle of the jungle and facing the sea, has a unique energy that accompanies you every day🌊💚 From my point of view there are certain things that could be improved so that future volunteers have a more enjoyable experience, but it's something that can be resolved. During my time here I learned a lot, saw whales almost every day, connected with different people and lived wonderful moments. I leave with lovely memories and very grateful for the opportunity to live something like this 🩵 if anyone wants to know more about my experience they can write to me :)
