Ticuchi Hostal

We are a medium size hostel in the heart of the city of Oaxaca, one of the most beautiful and colorful cities in Mexico. The hostel is 5-10 min walk to all the most important tourist attractions in the city, restaurants, hole-in-the-wall local cuisines, and artisan markets. The city's lively clubs and unique bars/mezcalerias are also easily walkable. We are the hostel with the best pool in the city, and a welcoming, chilled but sociable atmosphere. None of our volunteers have any cleaning shores. You will have an unforgettable experience at Ticuchi and Oaxaca.

Our volunteer program stands out for its unique combination of flexibility, community, and cultural immersion across three amazing hostels in Mexico—with a fourth on the way!

Whether you start your journey at Ticuchi in Oaxaca, Lum in Tulum, or Apapacho in Mexico City , you'll find a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere where volunteers are truly part of the family. And soon, you’ll also have the opportunity to be part of our brand-new location in Condesa, one of Mexico City’s most iconic and charming neighborhoods.

What makes our program truly special is the freedom to explore. After completing just one month of volunteering at any of our locations, you’re welcome to stay longer or transfer to another hostel, giving you the chance to experience different parts of Mexico while staying within the same supportive network.

Whether you're drawn to the tropical beaches of Tulum, the cultural richness of Oaxaca, or the urban energy of Mexico City, our program lets you discover it all—while connecting with travelers from around the world and contributing meaningfully to each space.

Join us and make your mark across Mexico!

We are like one big family, and our top priority is making sure that our amazing volunteers are well taken care of, so they can provide the best possible experience to our wonderful guests. We are always here to help and provide solutions that work best for our volunteer team. Just let us know what you need, and we'll do our best to make it happen!

Me divertí mucho! Se crea una bonita comunidad entre todos los voluntarios y huéspedes, a veces fiestas,a veces noches de películas, estuvo increíble! También Mayo el gerente es súper flexible, amable y buena onda.
El trabajo es justo y se hace ligero, tuve bastante tiempo libre para explorar Oaxaca y aprender un montón de la cultura :)

My experience at Ticuchi was amazing, fun, and full of love. From the kind housekeepers to patient management (Mayo) and the great volunteers, I’ll never forget my time here. Shifts were a mix of front desk and bartending, 5 days/week, 5 hrs/day. Though you get 2 days off, there’s still plenty of time to explore Oaxaca. The nightly hostel events were so fun, and I loved learning to bartend for the first time. The hostel’s location is perfect. Highly recommend—GRACIAS TICUCHI!! 🧡🫶🏾
