About the experience in: Santa Marta, Colombia
Czech Republic
I loved volunteering at The Valley, 100% recommended ❤️ Place is amazing, beautiful nature, great facilities, amazing vegetarian food and the best people. I volunteered as a yoga teacher which I really enjoyed, I had 2 classes day and if needed, I also helped in the kitchen or bar. Hostel if quite busy so you will find new friends if you want to.. and if you don’t, there is always some place where you can just relax by yourself :)) there is so many things to do around - visiting waterfalls, Minca (where you can stay for free), Palomino, Tayrona.. thank you 🫶🏻

About the experience in: Santa Marta, Colombia
Italy
This jas been a wonderful experience.
I would recommend it 100% if you love the nature, to stay in a very social environment and to meet 24/7 people from all around the world.
Everyone who works here is such a nice person and would let you feel as you're one of them.
Also you get to meet volunteers and enjoy a lot the time with them!

Overall a great experience. The local staff were lovely and the hostel is beautiful and truly in the jungle. The provided vegetarian meals were delicious, varied and much appreciated. The volunteer dorm is basic and could do with a few tweaks to improve things but is still good, the beds were comfortable and there are mosquito nets over each bed
Being able to speak basic Spanish I think is necessary as a lot of the local staff do not speak English and you will need to communicate with them when you are working in the kitchen and BBQ
Previous hospitality experience would also be very helpful

I spent two weeks volunteering at The Valley and had an amazing and immersive experience. Everyone was super welcoming and made me feel part of the team. The hostel’s vibe is really social and relaxed.
I worked bartending and in the kitchen with 6-hour shifts and two days off weekly, which gave me plenty of time to relax and explore. It was a great chance to meet new people and improve my Spanish.
Huge thanks to Alba and Laura for being so supportive—they really made my stay better.
I highly recommend volunteering here! ❤️

Volunteering at The Valley was such an amazing experience. The work and hours were fair, and I had plenty of time to enjoy the area around Tayrona.
The staff were the best part — so friendly and welcoming. Huge shoutout to Alba and Laura for being absolutely wonderful and making me feel right at home.
It was also a great place to practice Spanish and connect with amazing people. I made so many good memories here and honestly wish I could’ve stayed longer. Thanks for everything! :)
