Su & Vero were amazing hosts!!! They ensure you are comfortable & cared for while in their home. There is a good balance of time eating together, community work, and exploring the local areas/things to do. They are both so nurturing, funny, witty, curious, and open to connecting ~ you are safe in their care! :) I volunteered in PV and will for sure be going to their Peru location as well. So much more love, learning, & laughter to be had ♡

Sui and Vero were amazing hosts! From the moment they picked me up at the airport, they were incredibly warm and welcoming. They know Puerto Vallarta well and gave me great suggestions on places to visit. Volunteering at the cultural center was a highlight. The kids were kind and curious and interested in learning about me. The teacher there was also very friendly. Staying with Sui and Vero felt like family, I enjoyed home cooked meals and interesting conversations while eating. I'm grateful for the experience and plan for a visit with them the next time I'm in Vallarta.

Sui and Vero were fabulous hosts! They met me at the airport with big hugs. Life with them was authentic and engaging! Meal times were filled with good food and great conversation and we took several excursions around Puerto Vallarta, nature walks, sunsets at the beach, farmers markets and even a movie! Volunteering at the school was worthwhile and heartwarming. The kids accepted me and included me in spite of my limited Spanish. Classes at the community center were enjoyable and everyone was so welcoming. Highly recommend a homestay with Sui and Vero!

I had the most wonderful experience at Casa Pachamama- Su and Vero were fantastic. I've had other hosts on Worldpackers, and as I told Su and Vero, this was by far my favorite experience. You typically will volunteer from 3-6pm Mon-Thurs and 6-7pm Mon and Fri helping kindergartners with their daily tasks and ~12 year olds learn English. Seeing how happy and excited the kids were to learn about other cultures and interact with other volunteers was the happiest thing imaginable. The kindergartners will literally run right up to you with the biggest smiles and give you HUGE hugs. Go go go!!!

I truly had an amazing time staying at the organization. Sui and Vero are welcoming, and I was able to feel at home almost instantly. Part of traveling is adapting, and once I waded through my own emotions within myself, they were right there for me- as family. Words simply cannot express the emotional impact I've experienced in working with the kids, and the impact I feel I had on them. You will feel loved like a brother, a sister, a father, a mother- like family with the kids if you allow them the space and affirmation. It was a 1st WP experience I'll never forget. And my heart is full!

I cannot recommend enough!!! Via and Sui are the sweetest hosts who are always happy to help. The flexibility was also amazing if you want to do your own thing.

My experience in Puerto Vallarta was truly a perfect 10/10! Su and Vero were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and had a wonderful time. Their warmth and attentiveness made my stay unforgettable, and I genuinely feel a deep appreciation for them. The beauty of Puerto Vallarta is simply breathtaking, and the abundance of activities available made every moment exciting. I find myself longing to return to this paradise right now! Being my first solo experience, it couldn't have been more perfect.

I had a fantastic experience at Pachamamma's house. Thanxs to Su, Vero and Lucy, 3 warm and beautifull women that make you feel at home from the first moment you arrive. It is not just a bed you get here but also great food, a lot of hugs, dee conversations and true friendship. This experience gave me a deep immersive feeling in the real Mexican culture. Working with the kids at the kindergarden is very rewarding and I also loved to do that. There is a very good balance between helping out and free timz so I also had a lot of time to really go and explore Puerto Vallarta in all it beauty.

I had a lovely experience at Sui and Vero's (and Luci's) home. I mainly helped the teachers at the local kindergarten with whatever they needed and work with the kids. I also got to help the English teacher at the local cultural centre who taught a class with adolescents. But overall there was the opportunity to be part of Sui and Vero's family and live a local experience. Sui and Vero are very welcoming and really want to look after the volunteers. I felt safe and well looked after for my entire stay. Thank you Vero and Sui, abrazos!
