La experiencia en el hostel fue muy enriquecedora, la montaña brinda desconexión, los pájaros te despiertan todos los días; además, el equipo de trabajo siempre está dispuesto a ayudarte a darte una recomendación, Sebastián fue mi host esta vez, siempre fue muy amable, atento y con la mejor disposición. Recomiendo la experiencia a quienes quieran sumergirse en la cultura local y la naturaleza.

Holaaa, aplique al hostel sin embargo con comunicación del anfitrión hice mi voluntariado entremontañas en Gigante Huila un hotel de bienestar muy hermoso, donde el paisaje, las cascadas y caminatas son ideales para conectar con la naturaleza. Las personas del hotel son muy amables. Si están por gigante recomiendo que visiten está área que se llama ruta la montaña.
