I had a great time with Sauro and Elmer! I coordinated with Elmer when to meet at the cafe and together we came up with ideas for content. I'd spend some hours at the cafe to record and edit content. They are both great people! And gave me good recommendations on things to do/see/eat and connected me with tour guides for a discount. I'd definitely recommend volunteering at the Center! I'm sad I didn't stay longer!

I loved my time at the Center! I originally thought I would stay for 1 week, but stayed 2 weeks. The hosts (Sauro & Elmer) are so kind and welcoming! I helped with social media & serving. Sometimes it was a bit hard to make videos if the staff working didn't want to be in them, but the staff is so kind as well (just a little camera shy)! Would recommend this experience, it's not stressful and you have time to explore Arequipa. Also the coffee & chocolate is so yummy, a nice perk!

Volunteering at MI K'CAO was an incredible experience! Sauro is an amazing host who goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and truly at home. He shares not only the café but also his passion for Arequipa, Peruvian culture, and food. The work is flexible and very educative. I learned a great deal about cacao and coffee production, from harvesting to preparation, as well as about social media and managing a café. The rooftop view is breathtaking, the team is warm and friendly, and the accommodation is cosy and right in the city center. Highly recommend!

I spent 2 weeks volunteering at the Center and that was an amazing experience. Elmer, Sauro and the team of the cafe are all beautiful people to share time with. The work is pretty chill, the food is really good and the view is stunning!
