Programa detallado

Río 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 / café, 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 Río Elemento special.

Actividades & Turnos

Volunteers at Rio Elemento play an important role in making our hostel a warm and vibrant place. The main tasks include helping behind the bar (serving drinks and keeping the energy flowing — some experience is a plus!), supporting our reception team as a friendly host welcoming guests and sharing information, and occasionally giving a hand in the kitchen (assisting our cooks with service, not cooking). It’s also a great opportunity to practice and improve your Spanish while working side by side with locals and guests from all over the world.
