Dove alloggerai
The accommodation is a nice and cozy house only for the volunteers in the middle of the natural park.
Volunteers will cook together. This is a perfect space to share recipes and have a culinary cultural exchange. Shopping is organized by the leader(s) and the park, and the volunteers might help. Vegetarian food option also available.
Please do not expect expensive/special ingredients (olive oil, nuts, etc), but the Colombian cuisine is rich in fruits, vegetables and 3x a week there will be meat in the menu.
The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available.
Please bring a sleeping bag.
There is a laundry to wash your clothes.
Scopri Bogotá
During your volunteering you will try some typical dishes from the region and do activities such as walks through the reserve, zip-lining and the KYE MUYSUA, an ancestral experience workshop: Weaving under the tree of dreams in the company of Andean music, meditation and fire.
This natural park is an Andean cloud forest, in the middle of the mountains- therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. The park is located close to Bogotá (1 hour approx.) where you can find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the park, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks and wildlife watching (there is a guided tour on weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching
