I had a great time at the hostel. The team were very friendly and welcoming. Barichara is a nice Pueblo, it's very quiet and a nice place to escape the chaos. Unfortunately I had to leave early due to a change in circumstances but Camilo was very understanding 😊

I am so grateful for my time here. I felt appreciated and I had plenty of free time. Camilo and Natália were patient with my Spanish and when I was quite ill for a couple of days both of them checked in to see if I needed assistance. The jobs were easy and pleasant and the guests we had were great. I made some lovely connections both in this hostel and with some the locals. I was able to recharge in a truly beautiful part of Colombia in a lovely, lovely hostel. I feel happy that I had this opportunity and I'm very grateful for working with Camilo and Natália, they are big hearted people!

I had a lovely experience volunteering at the hostel! Barichara is an adorable town with so much to do including exploring the numerous artesian workshops and getting into nature. the hostel is cute hostel with a homey feel. Camilo welcomed me and he and I had some lovely conversations together. Working with him and Natalia was easy and communication was always clear. I helped serve breakfast, welcome guests and check them in, and maintain the general order of the hostel. I definitely recommend this volunteer opportunity! Gracias Camilo!

It was my first volunteering, and I had a great time in the hostel. I learned many things and skills, and had the chance to meet locals as well as travelers, as well as participate in activities in this beautiful city. Thank you to Camilo, for his welcome and support, where I was able to share his daily life , in a place where I felt at home.

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.
