The Experience

Located in a small mountain village we are looking for volunteers that look to immerse themselves into the tranquil and unhurried life that Pellumbas has to offer. As no day is the same as the previous one and activities vary according to need you will need to be flexible and able to adapt to whatever the day may bring. You can expect to particpate in cleaning all around the house, gardening, cooking, arts/crafts and reception work.

The guest house was a lovely volunteering experience where I felt truly at home among my other international volunteers. The setting is astonishingly beautiful with the canyon and cave nearby, and the animals brought me so much joy daily. The tasks felt like things I wanted to do in order to keep our communal space in good shape. I would only ever recommend this place for future volunteers and would tell them to bring a journal for lots of time to reflect!

The guest house and the nature surrounding it are beautiful. The volunteers run the entire day-to-day. Tasks are mostly focused on the guesthouse, then fun projects if we had time and enough people. The pets that live on the land are lovely. The volunteers here were what made this experience truly worth it; I learned so much with them, and we shared beautiful insightful conversations and adventures. Made connections I'll forever carry in my heart, specially Be and Stan. Communication with the host, who isn't around often, could be improved, as well his synergy with the volunteers. Wifi isn't strong

The guest house it's amazing. the place has it's magic - the animals (especially Pesto, Nina and Pellumbas) bring so much joy to the place. everyone that come here has a good vibe and that just makes the place better and better. the owner (illir) is so kind and a great partner if he can feel this coming of you as well. i had the most amazing group of volunteers in here with me (special hug for stalin and gio!). the hikes around are waaay prettier than i thought. you have lakes, rivers, waterfalls, canyons, caves... this place definitely has a big space in my heart!

An emotional connection — that has been the heart of this experience. To share a bond with guests, with the volunteers, and with the many creatures that call this place their home. Even with the garden, and the vast embrace of nature that surrounds us. Here, everything unfolds at its own unhurried pace, as each host encounters this haven and marks their own passage through time. And a warm hug for Ruby, who has made my stay here wholly delightful.

My time working here was lovely. As it was my first time helping to run a hostel/bed and breakfast I picked up lots of knowledge and experience of how running a small accommodation the guest house mountains works. Reception, dealing with booking, bed making, gardening. It was all so enjoyable. The owner was communicative and friendly and always open to feedback about scheduled work times. I met some truly beautiful people here and I will carry what I've learnt into my next experiences!
