This was my second experience here and absolutely I don't regret spending my last days in Colombia at the hostel. The place is absolutely wonderful, John and Natalia are the best owners, as any Colombian people thy will welcome you at their best and give you whatever you need. The place is wonderful, apparently calm but you have plenty of stuff to do, but more than anything to spend time with the locals and enjoy the peace of the place. Tasks are super easy and enjoyable. I'll just suggest to get some food in Buenaventura cause from junachci to la barra It will be more expensive.

I had an amazing and adventurous time! If you want to connect with nature, see animals and swim in the wild waves of the hostel, this is for you. I was able to attend many tours, explore the area and mostly spent my time with locals and the hostel crew. The view from the Tiki huts is amazing! Just beware that this place is in the jungle so there will be spiders and snakes. Also, your accomondation depends on which rooms and Tikis are booked, but i had no trouble switching rooms a couple of times. The tasks were totally fine, maybe communication could be a tiny bit better. I'll be back!
