Volunteer in Colombia & work in an Eco-lodge – requirements & tasks

We are looking for volunteers to make our ecolodge an even more unique place. We are surrounded by the Amazon forest with jaguar, bear, tapir, 5 species of monkey and more than 450 species of birds.

The Eco-lodge is sustainable and completely off-grid. It runs on solar panels and we do have (satellite) internet. The place is amazing in the middle of a prime forest. You will see lots of animals, and learn a lot about life in the Amazonian jungle. Soon you will recognize the sounds. You will also learn how it is to live in the forest and how it is to run an ecolodge in the jungle. The lodge is well-known among herpetologists, birdwatchers and photographers.

The reserve has existed for 7 years and the major works have been completed. We still have some projects running, such as a multi-day trail and 2 new cabañas. But many improvements are still needed (especially the trails).

There is plenty to do in the reserve and when there are no tourists, you can basically choose how to help us from the long list we generate each month. Sometimes you can even help the tourists by explaining the (safety) rules, arranging the accommodation, etc.

We are looking for – preferably – experienced helpers, who speak at least a little Spanish. But the most important is that you are willing to help us. And do not regard it as a cheap holiday.

You have to stay for a minimum of 1 MONTH as it takes a lot of effort to explain how the lodge works. Also, it is better for you as you will be quickly independent and make your own planning.

There are no extra costs involved for you. You pay only for bottled drinks and the horse in case you want your luggage to be brought up.

You’ll work for about 28 hours a week with weekends off.

Because the lodge is made of wood, it is forbidden to smoke. We do not accept smoking volunteers.

Volunteer in Colombia & work in an Ecolodge – what we offer

We provide a bed in a shared room. We also offer a full board.

The food we prepare is delicious. It is mainly Asian food (with Colombian ingredients). We try to limit the use of meat, as it is one of the main reasons for deforestation in Colombia. So we support the vegetarian idea and often serve complete vegetarian meals. But we are a lodge for general tourists and we are not vegetarian. So unfortunately we do NOT ACCEPT VEGETARIAN volunteers as it is impossible to cook 2 different meals.
