Great experience at El Paredon, it's like being on summer vacation. The hostel is quiet and less than 5 minutes from the beach. You're also ten minutes from the party spots. The shifts are really easy and you'll meet other volunteers too :) The use of kayaks and surfboards is free!

It was an amazing experience. the hostel is a small and cozy hostel 10 minutes away from all the party scene, so pretty chill. The tasks were easy and fair and were explained to me really well. Normally you have two to three other volunteers staying there at the same time with you, so you get every fourth day off. Would recommend it to everybody who wants to stay in a chill place, connecting with locals and just enjoy hostel life.

Volunteering at Backpacker was nice ! Communication was sometimes a bit irregular (taking into consideration that Nery is juggling between two jobs, I can understand why), but if you have a strong sense of autonomy, and you like surfing/the oceans/parties in social hostels, El Paredon is the place for you :) The tasks at the hostel are rather easy to manage and the place is cosy ☀️ (something not mentioned in the position is : you can rent surfboards from another hostel for free ! 🏄)
