My experience was incredible, the hosts were so friendly and welcoming. A great experience to be able to interact with locals and feel like you're making a difference to the local community, also a great place to practice Spanish.

I HAD A LOVELY TIME VOLUNTEERING HERE! Jonathon Prera, who runs the place, is the absolute best! Along with Jonathon, the family that works at the hostel was so incredibly kind to me! Though I studied it in high school, my Spanish is quite bad, but everyone was so nice anyway! The hostel is connected to a travel agency, a school, AND an NGO! I helped out at the hostel with painting/manual work and at the school with painting walls and a mural for the children! I got to play with some of the sweet little kids as well! There are plenty of other ways to contribute! GREAT HOSTEL GREAT TIME!!
