Programa detallado
RĂo Elemento is a riverside eco lodge tucked into the lush tropical gardens of Minca, Colombia. Every day here is about connection: to nature, to community, and to the magic in simple moments, sunlight through leaves, water flowing, shared meals, starlit nights. Our volunteer program gathers people who want to help in meaningful ways, welcoming guests, leading experiences, tending the bar / cafĂ©, and telling our story through photos and words. In exchange, we offer a space to learn, grow, relax, and be part of something rooted in respect for nature and people.
As a volunteer you can rotate through different roles (front desk, activities, bar / food service, content creation), depending on interest and skill. You’ll learn practical hospitality skills, join hikes or river swims, collaborate on creative content, and most importantly help amplify the sense of home and peace that makes RĂo Elemento special.
