The experience at the pousada Tapajós was wonderful! I had plenty of time for enjoying the town and the tasks were always clear and agreed the day before. The breakfast was good and the bed was comfortable. Also, Sandra arranged a great tour for me. The hostel is in a great location, 2mins away from the beach. The last night we had a nice dinner with the other volunteers and Sandra joined as well, there's a very familiar vibe in the hostel. Don't miss the opportunity! 😉

Fiquei no hostel por quase 3 semana. Gostei muito. Bem localizado, extremamente próximo do centro de alter, e ao lado do pier e do centro do turista. Da pra fazer tudo da pé por lá. As tarefas sempre foram conversadas antes, ajudei na jardinagem, recepção e café da manha, sempre tranquilo e respeitando o horario combinado, e por vezes acabei o combinado antes das horas estipuladas. É um local de família tanto a proprietária Sandra quanto a irmã dela Joelma são super gente boa. Indico muito o local para voluntários de verdade.

Agradecida pelo acolhimento e simplicidade da Sandra, que de maneira sútil oferece uma imersão gostosa e leve. nessa experiência o ponto forte foi estar com pessoas nativas da região, eu gostei mt de conhecer a sandra e sua família que tbm trabalham aqui. são pessoas queridas. o trabalho é tranquilo com flexibilidade nos horários. obrigada a todos q me receberam para viver essa experiência.

O que seriam apenas 2 semanas se tornaram 3 meses 😅. no hostel Tapajós eu me senti em casa, acolhida e totalmente conectada com o lugar. Agradeço demais a anfitriã Sandra e a sua irmão Joelma, por todo o acolhimento e receptividade… fizeram com que eu me sentisse parte da família. A Bia, Anderson e Reinaldo também fazem parte do time o hostel e sou muito grata a eles também. As tarefas são muito tranquilas, o ambiente é maravilhoso e a localização o hostel é perfeita. Pertinho do centro, de mercado, das praias, dos restaurantes… enfim, tudo muito bom! Recomendo a todos ♥️✨

As tarefas são divididas entre ajuda no café da manhã, limpeza dos quartos e banheiros e da área externa da pousada. A Sandra informa no dia anterior em qual turno vamos ficar e as horas e as folgas são respeitadas. O café da manhã é bem servido e os quartos são bons, com ar condicionado a noite e água quente nos chuveiros. Para quem precisa trabalhar além do voluntariado é possível, mas a parte das mesas fica bem quente durante o dia. A localização é ótima, perto das praias principais e do centro de Alter e também temos a oportunidade de fazer passeios com a agência do marido da Sandra.
