About this trip

 

Embark on an unforgettable two-week service trip to the stunning Caribbean coast of Colombia, where adventure, culture, and personal growth come together. This journey will take you deep into the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, home to indigenous tribes whose ancient traditions and vibrant communities offer an unparalleled cultural immersion. You'll connect directly with the indigenous Kogi, Arhuaco, and Wiwa people, learning about their unique way of life, preserving their environment, and supporting their educational initiatives.

But this isn't just about learning—it’s about giving back. You'll engage in hands-on community service, from helping with building projects to teaching English to local children, all while living off-grid in the tropical rainforest. The experience of disconnecting from technology and living in harmony with nature will challenge you to grow in ways you never expected.

Hike through lush tropical forests, swim in crystal-clear Caribbean waters, and explore the beauty of a coastline that is both pristine and awe-inspiring. Along the way, you'll forge deep bonds with your fellow travelers and gain a newfound appreciation for the world's rich cultural diversity.

This trip is an opportunity to make a real impact, create lasting memories, and discover your own potential. It’s not just a vacation—it’s a transformative experience that will inspire you to become a global citizen and take on the world with confidence and compassion.

My son had an amazing time on this trip! Making friends, scuba diving, learning about the reef, experiencing a different culture, the monkey forest, surfing!... the list goes on! He will treasure these memories for a lifetime! Thank you!!!

The reef restoration was a great experience for my 15-year-old. She bonded with new friends and said it was a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend the trip, and Padma to take you there. Deigo is a fantastic tour guide. Building the reef sculptors was great, and the accommodations were reasonable. My daughter said it got a bit cold at night, and they only had sheets, so bring a light blanket or buy one there. The food provided at the fishing village was delicious, and she liked breakfast. The other accommodations were great on the tour, especially the last one on the small island with manrays.

This trip was amazing; it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience and surpassed virtually all expectations. It was a perfect balance between hard work and play, and helping with the building process alongside the Arhuaco tribe was an honor and such a valuable learning experience. All of the people we met were so welcoming, and it was a perfect opportunity to use my Spanish.
