About the experience in: Santa Marta, Colombia
United States
The Valley is such an amazing hostel and I had a great time volunteering here!! The location is super unique with beautiful views, it feels secluded without being too far, and it is close to things to do like Tayrona park, Palomino, and several beaches. The pool is great too! The food here was absolutely incredible. Even with a language barrier the permanent staff are very friendly, helpful, and fun to work with. I definitely improved my Spanish a bit. Sometimes 30 hours a week felt like too much as we could be sitting around for half the shift but it was super chill. Great experience!!!

We really enjoyed the Valley Hostel! Such a great place to meet travellers and practice Spanish with the staff! The tasks were simple and even fun! Everyone was friendly and the facilities were great. Sometimes the power and water would cut out but never for more than a few hours. Overall a great stay!

I had the most amazing time at the valley hostel and could not recommend it more to other people travelling around the Tayrona Park. From the amazing kitchen staff (shoutout to Yulieth) to the amazing vibes of the hostel, it really could not get better. And of course the experience would have not been the same without Alba. Missing it so much already.

I had a lovely time volunteering at the Valley!! Everyone was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable and at home from the beginning. The staff are really friendly, and Alba is great!! She is always there for you if you need her! I went with a friend and she always tried to give us time off together which we greatly appreciated. My time there went so quickly, and we were honestly sad to leave. I would highly recommend joining the team at the Valley if you get the chance. <3

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 🫶🏻
