This was absolutely one of the best experiences of my life! Sui and Vero are the most amazing and welcoming people ever. I showed up barely speaking any Spanish, but they were so patient and kind, teaching me more every single day. They're basically family now, and they made me love traveling even more. Not to mention, the food was amazing. This was also my first WorldPackers experience, and I'd recommend it to any other new travelers as well! I will miss them and the animals so much, and I can't wait to visit again ❤️

There's not enough words to express my gratitude for Suilma and Vero (& of course Lucy)! My experience was absolutely phenomenal and the work they do is truly amazing. From the minute they picked me up from the airport they welcomed me with open arms. I felt safe and supported at all times. We shared delicious meals, explored, practiced Spanish, danced and created a bond I will never forget. The experience with the kids and teachers was also so very welcoming and an amazing opportunity to connect in ways I didn't know I needed in life. I gained family forever through this opportunity. <3

Su & Vero were amazing hosts!!! They ensure you are comfortable & cared for while in their home. There is a good balance of time eating together, community work, and exploring the local areas/things to do. They are both so nurturing, funny, witty, curious, and open to connecting ~ you are safe in their care! :) I volunteered in PV and will for sure be going to their Peru location as well. So much more love, learning, & laughter to be had ♡

Sui and Vero were amazing hosts! From the moment they picked me up at the airport, they were incredibly warm and welcoming. They know Puerto Vallarta well and gave me great suggestions on places to visit. Volunteering at the cultural center was a highlight. The kids were kind and curious and interested in learning about me. The teacher there was also very friendly. Staying with Sui and Vero felt like family, I enjoyed home cooked meals and interesting conversations while eating. I'm grateful for the experience and plan for a visit with them the next time I'm in Vallarta.
