3 weeks at the lodge as a volunteer was awesome and so much fun. The work at reception can get a little overwhelming on the first days but it'll be lighter once the volunteer gets to know the daily tasks. So many perks, such as tours, walks, hikes, the food is amazing and they offer laundry service. Schedules are respected and Maria and Jose are great people and are always willing to assist. The connection with nature was beautiful. It was def a great experience! the lodge is a beautiful place.

I spent 3 weeks at the lodge as a yoga instructor. Overall it was an amazing experience and I developed my teaching skills a lot during my time there. I taught 2 classes per day (6 days a week) in exchange for 3 meals (I really liked the food) and accommodation, which I think is a very good volunteer arrangement. The newly built cabaña where volunteers stay is really nice with a lovely view, but there is no electricity. Communication from management could be improved and I felt like some more introduction (showing volunteers around on arrival etc.) would have made me feel more welcome.

Durante mi estadía y voluntariado entendí que llegué al alojamiento por algo, y así fue, llevo en mi corazón la mejor experiencia que pude haber imaginado. Gracias por permitirme compartir el Yoga y apreciar cada amanecer magnífico. Por permitirme conectar con los demás voluntarios, los colaboradores del lugar y de los alrededores de la finca. Estoy feliz, procesando todo y con ganas de volver a Colombia pronto. GRAAACIAS 🩷 Siempre en mi corazón ☺️

The lodge is an amazing place to stay, landscape wise but also staff wise. We had the chance to truly mangle with the other volunteers and some members of the staff that really helped us with our Spanish. The reception work was fantastic, you never get bored and you get to meet all of the guests. It was also very pleasant to be able to take part in the tour offered by the finca. However I think some amelioration could be done regarding the housing. There is no real volunteer dorm apart from a cabana in construction with made a bit hard to sleep through all of our stay.

I absolutely loved my experience at the lodge. I taught yoga twice a day (one class at sunrise, one at sunset) and really enjoyed the work! As for the property, it's absolutely wonderful, so peaceful and beautiful. The people were so lovely, I felt so welcomed and I really enjoyed interacting with everyone. Paso del Mango is truly a special place and I feel very lucky to have spent some time there. Thank you everyone at the lodge ❤️

La verdad no me sentí bienvenida. No había nadie del staff para recibirme, solo otrxs voluntarios, los 2 primeros días estuve completamente sola en recepción, no tuve un entrenamiento adecuado y eran muchas tareas en el turno. Al acabar mi primer turno me faltó hacer una cosa, y recibí un mensaje de regaño por no haberlo hecho. Luego me cambiaron de habitación porque mi cama no estaba bloqueada entonces tuve que mover mis cosas al hacer el check-in de esa cama, fue una situación muy incomoda. Por ultimo, la experiencia no fue para nada ecosostenible, usan demasiado papel innecesariamente.

Primero que todo lamentamos mucho que tu voluntariado aquí no haya cumplido tus expectativas; sin embargo, es necesario aclarar algunos puntos, 1) si es cierto que al momento de tu llegada no se encontraba la encargada del hotel porque justamente ese día tuvo dos días de descansos, pero el chico de recepción Uber te recibió y dio una explicación sobre las tareas del voluntariado.
2) Se tomó la decisión de terminar tu voluntariado por no mantener una comunicación asertiva con tus compañeros.

The lodge is a beautiful place to stay, perfect if you're looking for a break from the city and party life. I do wish there had been better communication and more opportunities to get to know the staff.

I loved the place, work was reasonable and I truly connected with the nature! Also the food was amazing! Absolutely worth it and a great experience! My only heads up is that the employees are not very welcoming and even a bit rude some of them. But the owner is amazing and everything else as well!
