My stay at Pachamamas House was absolutely wonderful! I instantly felt welcome by Sue and Vero and couldn't have asked for anyone more kind and understanding. This was my first time in Mexico and to say Puerto Vallarta was the perfect choice would be a complete understatement. Transport is cheap and easy and the city has so much to offer from food, dance events, markets and more! Spending time with the kids was fun and my Spanish improved immensely from my time with them. They were always happy to receive cuddles! Thank you so much to my now family at Pachamamas, te quiero para siempre:)

I had a wonderful experience at the organization House. Su and Vero are incredibly friendly and accommodating. They picked me up at the airport and we worked with the other volunteers to set a schedule for the week that included both volunteering and touring Puerto Vallarta. They worked closely with me during the time at the kindergarten (which is about 3 hours per weekday if you do each day) and tutoring older children (a little over an hour during the evening, M/W/F). They continually checked in with me to make sure that my experience was meaningful and enjoyable. Very highly recommend.

Su and Vero were incredibly welcoming and attentive, they always made sure I was confortable and enjoying my trip. It was a great balance of spending time with the kids but also getting to know Puerto Vallarta. Can't say enough good things about them and about this experience, muchas gracias por todo!!
