Bonny and I loved the experience volunteering here!! São João del Rei is such a perfect little city, there is so much to do and see, and the hostel is really in a perfect location. More importantly though it was lots of fun to work with this team. Paulo and Hugo are absolutely the best, they really respect you and do everything they can to make help you and ensure that you're having a great experience!! The hostel itself is a very pretty little place with everything you could want or need. It's a great place to live for a couple weeks: we really recommend you give this experience a try :))

I had an incredible time! Paulo, our host, is genuinely kind. He organized various events for me and my girlfriend, and we had a blast. The fellow volunteers were also friendly, and we enjoyed parties and good times together. The workload is reasonable, allowing you to explore the city. I definitely hope to return one day! :)

It was such a great experience!! The hostel is really cozy and comfortable and all the people there were super nice and welcoming. Most of the time I had do work less hours than it says in worldpackers, so I had more free time. The city was also really beautiful! I can highly recommend this hostel for everyone!!🥰🌞
