Alter do Chão is absolutely worth it to visit. I have never been to beaches before with that clear and calm water. In the town you find everything necessary and every week there are the same musical events happening. Working together with Marlene and Caio is a great experience with clear communication and Marlene helped me with literally everything that I needed. For me this hostel offered exactly what it needs to have an amazing time and to connect with the guests. So work and free time where lots of fun at the hostel. Please continue hosting in that perfect way <3

Minha passagem por Alter foi muito especial, apesar de rápida! Com certeza irei voltar. O voluntariado no hostel seguiu o combinado, com revezamento de turnos e as tarefas divididas entre o atendimento na recepção e limpeza do hostel. A Marlene é uma ótima anfitriã e está pronta a ajudar e a orientar no que for preciso! A interação entre staff e hóspedes é sensacional e faz a experiência ser ainda melhor! Conseguimos aproveitar muito :)

Estar no the hostel foi uma das melhores experiências que eu poderia ter tido. Nessa casa, descobri mais um daqueles cantinhos que a gente pode chamar de casa. A vibração desse lugar é leve e uma delícia. A estadia foi só se prolongando. A Marelene é uma amiga daquelas que sempre está super atenta a escutar e cuidar. Sou muito grata 🧡

Marlene é uma pessoa incrível!!! Me senti em casa durante os 15 dias que estive por lá. Você ajudará na limpeza e na recepção dos hóspedes. Não vejo a hora de voltar. Pude fazer vários amigos no período que estive no hostel. Além disso, Alter do Chão é incrível!!! Não pense duas vezes!!! Apenas aplique para o hostel! Espero que possamos nos reencontrar em um futuro próximo! Beijo grande, Marlene!

Alter do Chão é lindíssima, pura natureza, as margens rio Tapajós. the hostel fica aérea bem central, e o melhor está do ladinho da Praia do Cajueiro e do Cat com um Pôr Sol magnífico. Marlene a anfitriã, é uma mulher maravilhosa, doce, meiga, amiga, explica bem os afazeres. Acorda dando abraço gostoso nos voluntários e a quem estiver por perto. Se tornou uma amiga muito especial. Os voluntários que lá estavam foram super amigos uns dos outros. Mari pessoa que dá suporte no hostel é muito prestativa e alegre. Só gratidão a todos e a cidade de Alter.
