I couldn't have asked for a better first volunteering experience! Ana and Christian were super welcoming and really helpful throughout my stay at the hostel. There's a lot of places to discover on their beautiful soil and by the villages nearby. Overall very grateful for this immersive experience. Would recommend to anyone who love to do manual work and being connected to the surrounding nature.

I had a great experience at the hostel! The views were amazing, the work was fun, and the hosts were very kind. There's a small town a short walk away, and Puerto Lopez is about 10 minutes by car. It is great for those who want to be right next to the sea and get their hands dirty. Thank you Ana and Christian! 🙏

It was my first time doing volunteer work and I couldn't expect anything better. The hosts always treated me with the utmost respect, instructions were clear and schedules were honored. I'm grateful not only for meeting new people but also for making good friends. Hope they always have responsible and commited volunteers because they deserve it. Thank you Ana and Christian!

Hola :) my experience with Christian and Ana was very good. I've had such a great time there. The work is really fair and not to hard. Solemnly simple tasks like working with the machete or painting walls. You won't achieve new skills in gardening or maintenance but the working atmosphere is quite relaxed. You share a comfortable dorm with other volunteers. Sometimes the toilet doesn't work. There are great opportunities to spend your spare time, for example on the beach or the villages close to your location. You can surf, visit islands or enjoy cocktails at Puerto Lopez.

Christian and Ana are amazing hosts that take care of everything and eve gave me advice for future travel plans! The work changes daily and is always around maintenance of the hostel or other amenities. The place itself is pretty remote even from salando the town so it's something to consider - it's 15-20 min walk to get to the town and for puerto Lopez you need a bus/taxi. Still I felt that there was more than enough time for exploration and activities in the area. In my opinion this place is more suitable for pairs or groups
