Ticuchi Hostal

We’re a medium-sized hostel located right in the heart of Oaxaca City — one of the most beautiful and colorful places in Mexico! Ticuchi is just a 5–10 minute walk from the city’s main attractions, restaurants, authentic local spots, and artisan markets. You’ll also find Oaxaca’s lively nightlife, with its bars, clubs, and mezcalerías, just around the corner.

We’re known for having the best pool in town, a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, and a social vibe that makes it easy to connect with travelers from all over the world.

Our volunteer program stands out for its flexibility, fun community, and cultural immersion — and don’t worry, our volunteers don’t do any cleaning chores! You can help at the bar, reception, or even contribute your creativity by helping with social media content and events to keep Ticuchi’s good vibes alive online and onsite.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience in Oaxaca, this is it — historic roots, fresh vibes, and amazing people await at Ticuchi! 🌿💫

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!

I had the absolute best time at Ticuchi, and it will always feel like a second home to me. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, the staff are amazing, and Rene goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported. The work is exactly as described, which makes the whole experience even better. Everyone truly looks out for one another and is always willing to help, no matter the situation. I couldn’t recommend working at this hostel enough for anyone who wants an unforgettable experience, meaningful connections, and the chance to be part of a genuine family.

Volunteering here was one of the best experiences I have had. The people here are truly amazing and we became an instant family. I have a true appreciation for Oaxaca and the people who live here, they taught me so much about the city and made me feel welcome straight away. I have made the best of friends here and will always remember Ticuchi. The facilities are great and the volunteer rooms are good and the hostel is very well equipped. The atmosphere is unmatched and everyone who stays here loves it, both volunteers and guests.

This has been the best volunteering experience. The local stuff TRULY cares about their volunteers. I had food poisoning while I was there and they went to the doctor with me and took care of me.
It is a real party hostel so if that's what you're looking for it's perfect.
Oaxaca is really nice and definitely worth a visit, I found the little art galleries you can visit for free in the center and the "Mirador del cerro del Fortín" the most beautiful.
Thank you Ticuchi!

I loved my time in Ticuchi because the group of volunteers felt like a family! Also the managers Rene and Mayo are very flexible and helpful. I didn't feel comfortable in the volunteer room next to the bar because of the music. But after discussing it I was able to switch rooms so they really care for their volunteers. I would recommend joing the Ticuchi family.

I had a great time volunteering here. The tasks are as described, and the managers are always available to answer any questions and to help out. Rene is great to accommodate scheduling requests, for example I went to Spanish school for a week and was able to have the evening shifts. The hostel is very sociable and I felt welcomed from day one. Would definitely recommend!
