Accommodation
Volunteers at the Colombia Kids Project can choose from a range of accommodation options including a hostel dorm, private room in a hostel, and a family homestay.
Most volunteers stay at our modern, friendly volunteer hostel in a safe and quiet district. Our standard volunteer fee includes accommodation at the hostel in a dorm, which will have no more than four people in it. For a small additional fee, you can choose to be upgraded into a private room with a television and your own en-suite toilet and bathroom at the hostel. We also have an option to choose homestay accommodation where you will stay at a Colombian home which includes all your main meals.
The hostel is very popular with travellers and offers fantastic facilities such as a barbecue area, sun terrace with hammocks, and computers with internet access,Skype, webcams and earphones for keeping in touch with the folks back home. There is also wi-fi and a well equipped, shared kitchen. It's a very sociable place and is a great choice for those travelling alone, with frequent activities and excursions orgnised by the friendly, English-speaking owners.
El Poblado , where the volunteer hostel is located is in easy reach of the project, less than ten minutes' walk from the modern and efficient overground metro station which takes you to the centre of Medellin. There are many boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood, and you can walk to the heart of Medellin's lively nightlife scene in the leafy, buzzing Parque Lleras.
