This was one of the most interesting volunteering experiences I've done and I really enjoyed it. I worked in the Café from either 12-4pm or from 4:30-8:30pm. The staff were lovely and so sweet, I was well looked after and had good evenings with the host and their friends. I enjoyed waitressing, interacting with other travellers, the delicious food, chocolate and drinks. I had time to do many things outside of my work, with helpful recommendations of what to see, and what tours to do. Arequipa is beautiful.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was great! The cafe is really nice and the shifts and tasks are easy. The staff makes you feel welcome and Elmer and Sauro are always approachable if there are questions. They also help out with contacts in case you want to experience local culture, tours or adventures and you might even get discounts which was a nice add on.

I stayed for a week in Arequipa and helped out in the Center and loved my experience! Sauro and Elmer make you feel very welcome and all of the other staff is so lovely. I worked in the afternoons and time flew by. A great way to calm down in between cities!

I stayed for about one and a half weeks working at the Center and absolutely enjoyed it. The work was totally manageable and actually fun. The team of the café is really interested in you and Sauro, as well as his cousin Elmer try to make the work and overall experience as enjoyable as possible. This was my first Worldpacker trip and it motivated me to try out more. Gracias Sauro, nos volvemos a ver prontito 🌞🫶🏻

I loved my time volunteering at the Center! Sauro and Jhon Elmer are really nice and interesting people, I felt a part of the team straight away and the work was relaxed and fun. I learnt so much about their campo and where the products come from. The food in the cafe is so good. It felt more like friends than managers 🫶 the whole experience was great and Arequipa is really beautiful.
