My experience volunteering at the hostel couldn't have been better. During the night shifts, I had the chance to learn bartending while chatting with guests and practicing Spanish with the bartender, Juan. All of the staff are incredibly kind—especially the manager, Jesús, who is always willing to help with anything, and the receptionist, Maricel, who made me feel so welcome. I'm already missing you all! 🫶

I really loved my stay at the hostel, and can 100% recommend volunteering there! The people who work there are absolutely amazing, kind and caring. You'll feel like a part of the family. Also, you'll meet people from all over the world. I was volunteering in the bar, working 17.00-22.00 5 times a week, and I really loved it. The training is good and you get a lot of help if you're wondering about anything. Most of my stay we were two volunteers, and we shared a dorm with a bunk bed and a shared closet. If I ever return to Arequipa I will stay here some nights for sure!🥰
