Fue increíble la experiencia de voluntariado en el albergue Pousada de Galo. El anfitrión Claudio es una persona increíble, Muy animado, comunicativo y conocedor de la historia de la ciudad. El trabajo en el hostel es bueno, las horas se dividen en turnos. La ciudad de Arica es increíble, está en el desierto, pero con buena estructura. Necesitamos estar cerca. Definitivamente será un lugar al que tengo la intención de regresar algún día.

Mi experiencia como voluntaria en el hostel fue muy buena, pude conocer a muchas personas de diferentes partes del mundo, conocer Chile, trabajar en equipo, desenvolverme en un nuevo ambiente, aprender como funciona un hostel y cumplir con metas personales en esta nueva y primera experiencia de voluntariado. Los extraño a todos. La energía del lugar es muy buena, se crean amistades y lazos duraderos. Espero verlos pronto y compartir un café en su nueva cafetería (la mejor de la ciudad).

Maravillosa experiencia colaborando en el hostel. Claudio es muy simpático, atento, comprensivo y motivado. La atmósfera del lugar invita a la calma durante el día y al compartir durante la noche. Es un lugar muy amistoso, respetuoso y lleno de vida. Las tareas son sencillas y los turnos bastante amenos. El equipo que se forma de voluntarios suele ser muy unido y entretenido. Sin duda tienes que hacer esta experiencia si te encuentras de paso por Arica. Además la cafetería del lugar es deliciosa. 100% recomendado.

Grato ambiente. Tareas sencillas, equipo siempre dispuesto a ayudar. El lugar está lleno de naturaleza y diversión. Claudio es super chevere y se nota el cariño hacia los voluntarios. La descripción del lugar es correcta con las actividades a realizar. Los extrañare mucho chicos. EL MEJOR VOLUNTARIADO QUE TUVE HASTA AHORA 💜
