The Experience

Nuestro Hostel nace como un proyecto de astro turismo que busca brindar la experiencia increíble de pasar una noche bajo las estrellas. Nos caracterizamos por tener un ambiente de des-conexión y relajo. Donde además puedes disfrutar de los cerros y ríos cercanos. Nos encontramos ubicados en Rivadavia, un pequeño pueblo en el medio del Valle. Buscamos voluntarios que se sumen al equipo para mantener y embellecer nuestro hostel.

Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora, en la que he tenido la oportunidad de compartir tiempo con otros voluntarios mientras contribuía a la mejora y el mantenimiento del hostal. Se ha formado un gran equipo de trabajo, lo que ha hecho que la estancia sea aún más agradable. El lugar es precioso y ofrece un ambiente ideal para desconectar. Además, las tareas eran sencillas y bien organizadas, lo que facilitó la experiencia.

El hostel no está mal, un poco desorganizado, no hay internet para trabajar facilmente. Miguel el administrador del hostal me quedo debiendo plata y no me contesta los mensajes... una decepcion total..

El Hostal queda relativamente cerca de Vicuña, pero a su vez lo bastante alejado de la ciudad como para desbordar los ojos con una vista fabulosa del cielo estrellado. Alucinante! En un tur de bus que serpentea entre cultivos de vid y pueblos añejos pero cuidadosamente conservados, se llega también después de unos 20 minutos de viaje a Pisco Elqui. En general, las bicicletas ofrecidas por el Hostal están en buenas condiciones, pero a alguna que otra se le deberia hacer un service para mejorar los cambios ya que se hace dificil la "trepada" del camino. Un especial GRACIAS! a Melani del Staff.
