It was my first volunteer experience and Camilo and Natalia made it incredible. They are caring, flexible with dates and tasks. It is really easy to talk to Camilo, he always recommends you things to do and not just in Barichara but in other parts of Colombia as well. I'm really glad that I got to have this beautiful experience.

The hostel is THE place where you want to volunteer! Camilo, the host, and the staff are amazing and make you feel at home. He cares about travellers and he knows what they need because he is a traveller too! I would also recommend to anyone this experience because Barichara is a special town where you can learn a lot about art, culture and nature. It's a very nice spot if you want to visit the region of Santander.

Una experiencia que me llevo en el corazón! Camilo es una persona encantadora, súper generoso, siempre dispuesto a ayudar a los huéspedes y al voluntario. Las tareas son sencillas, te necesitarán en el hostal durante los desayunos y las tareas de limpieza. En algunos momentos también harás check in y check out a los huéspedes. La comunicación con Camilo es excelente así que todo serán facilidades. El resto es disfrutar de Barichara y esa es la mejor parte! Este lugar es mágico, nada de lo que pudiese describir se acercaría a la realidad de Barichara. Sin duda, vendré de nuevo ❤️
