The story of Riverside Ecoliving: rethinking coliving and coworking in Colombia
WELCOME TO RIVERSIDE
A journey that became a movement
We are Jota, Paula, John, and Abid, co-founders of Riverside.
After living in a country marked by violence and navigating the storm of COVID while working in hospitality, Jota fell ill. Yet he kept going, driven by the belief that many others, like him, were searching for healing, connection, and purpose. From this vision, Riverside was born.
What started as a small sanctuary in Jericó quickly grew. Travelers weren’t just looking for a place to stay; they wanted to work productively, live close to nature, and rediscover joy in community.
Riverside became a bridge between remote workers and paradises that could inspire them.
OUR MISSION
Coliving and coworking for digital nomads
Riverside connects digital nomads and remote workers to unique coliving and coworking spaces in Colombia’s most inspiring destinations.
We don’t own hotels; we carefully select reliable partners to guarantee comfort, safety, and connectivity. With Riverside, you can work, rest, and explore without compromise.
OUR VISION
Work, grow, and thrive anywhere
We dream of a world where coliving, nature, and community allow people to work, grow, and thrive from anywhere. By expanding this model to new destinations, we aim to give more people the chance to travel while staying connected, support local communities, and open the door to transformative experiences in wellness, adventure, culture, and learning.
INSPIRED BY COLOMBIA
Culture and local heritage at the heart of Riverside
Our journey is inspired by the Colombian countryside: the resilience of coffee growers, the wisdom of Indigenous communities, and the traditions of rural families. Riverside celebrates this cultural richness by connecting travelers and locals, creating spaces where local heritage meets a global perspective.
