This has been my first volunteering experience and I can say I have begun with my right foot. The Hostel offers a wide variety of interesting activities which the volunteers are encouraged to participate. The tasks are easily handled and there is a competent and helpfull staff to give us a hand whenever we need. My thanks to them and to Jhoan for an amazing experience at the heart of the beautiful Cartagena!!

I connected a lot with the other volunteers and also with the locals who work there. The tasks are easy. The hostel is in the historical center, there you find everything you need and it's safe! Gracias Jhoan por recibirme!

This was my second time at Républica and I absolutely love this experience! The team and environment are just amazing. The experience leader Roger and other staff welcome you immediately which makes you immerse yourself into the local culture. The tasks are overall fun and easy to do. This time I learned quite a bit working at the bar. Thanks to everyone and I most definitely recommend staying at Républica!
