Our organization works on restoration and conservation and has important recognition in the field as a pioneer in ecological research topics. Nevertheless, not only in Colombia but in our region the resources destined to support environmental organizations have always been incredibly short. For this reason and the fact that we do not gain any profit from the help volunteers give us, we need to ask people living in the Reserve to undertake the food expenses.
 
Each person living in the reserve gives a daily minimum of 23.000 COP (5 USD approx.) for the purchase of food, and a daily minimum of 2.000 COP (0.50 USD approx.) for internet access. If you take your days off outside the Reserve you don’t need to pay the daily fee.

About Program

Our Reserve is part of the Jaguar Corridor and therefore we aim to offer an increasingly suitable habitat for them. To accomplish this we have projects on reforestation, soil restoration, the recovery of a water stream, and sustainability matters.
 
Our strongest project now is Sister Greenhouses, whose objective is to build a network of individual and community greenhouses to reproduce native tree species of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, emphasizing global and local threatened species.
 
Activities in which volunteers participate are:
-Walks for seed and sapling collection
-Greenhouse maintenance
-Monitoring the water stream
-Food sovereignty Activities
-Planting sessions
-Supporting communities’ greenhouses
-Monitoring fauna

The Gaira River is 25 minutes away by walking, and the nearest beach is 1 hour away by public transportation. The nearest big city is Santa Marta City, which is 90 minutes away.
