Disconnect from the city, live rural Colombia, and leave your mark.

Detalhes

🌿✨ VOLUNTEERING IN THE SIERRA NEVADA OF SANTA MARTA ✨🌿

Hi! I'm Jacobo, 23 years old, living in Paso del Mango, a magical village in the Sierra Nevada of Colombia. I manage a small farm where I live with people who, although not blood relatives, are my chosen family — a tribe of heart and love. Here, we’re building a life project rooted in nature, community, simplicity, and connection.

I’m beginning a beautiful new chapter: building my own house using natural techniques, growing a sustainable garden, caring for a small farm, and creating a space for sharing, learning, joy, and creativity.
That’s why I’m looking for volunteers with good vibes, open to cultural exchange and eager to contribute with their hands, hearts, and ideas.

💡 Got experience in natural building, architecture, or sustainable design?
It would be amazing to have your help imagining and building this home from scratch — combining bamboo, permaculture, gardens, and creativity. Whether you're an expert or just eager to learn by doing, this could be a place for you to leave a mark.

🛏 What do we offer?

Accommodation in hammocks, tents or mats

A rustic third floor, perfect for chilling or sleeping

Bathroom, shower, a natural river and a sky full of stars

A wild environment full of bugs, fruit, warmth, and good energy

🍲 What do we ask?

We cannot provide food for the moment so we ask for a 8 USD per day fee for buying food for you and to share with everyone here. We will provide 3 meals a day.
We only ask you to have a positive vibration, we are surrounded by nature so take your time to breathe and relax. We are chilling in the middle of the jungle.

This is a space to live with joy, respect and gratitude. We’re not here to control or judge, but to grow and learn together.

Atividades & Turnos

💪🏽 What will you do?

👉🏽 Around 2 hours of help per day (flexible), in activities like:

Cooking, cleaning and keeping spaces organized

Helping in the garden or with the animals

Natural building projects

Social media, creativity, or any skill you want to share


⏰ Meals have set times, but if you work online like me, we can adapt the rhythm together.

🌿 A few tips:

This is a wild and natural environment. You’ll see insects, feel the heat, hear frogs, walk barefoot, and maybe sleep with bugs nearby.
This is not a hotel — it’s a chance to experience authentic rural life in Colombia. So please bring:

Long pants and long sleeves

Comfortable shoes

Natural or regular repellent

Swimsuit

Your tent or mosquito net (if you have one)

And most importantly — a great attitude!

Regras

Our home is your home while you are here. These are some of our adventurous rules:

Quiet from 10:30 p.m. to rest and respect everyone but there are spaces where you can stay longer if you wish such as the campfire and part of the common space.

If you see plastic on the floor, pick it up! We are part of the solution.

Bathrooms, kitchen and common areas should always remain neat and organized.

Tools are always put back where they belong.

Helping with daily chores (cooking, cleaning, tidying) is part of the experience.

Propose challenges, games, workshops or ideas - we love creativity!

One of the important rules: Be happy while doing every task in our home, remember that you are part of it as long as you live here and enjoy every moment in the presence of your true self. This is the golden rule.
