Accommodation
"As part of our commitment, we organise your accommodation in Colombia".
We offer several options, but we always recommend that you try the experience of living with a native family. This allows you to grow in your learning process and gives you valuable elements of what it means to travel in a country: getting to know the people, their way of life, their beliefs and customs. The administrative costs for arranging accommodation are 40 USD.
