I truly loved my time at the hostel. The staff and the other Volunteers felt like family right away and made you feel comfortable. I worked behind the bar which was really fun. The tasks were pretty straightforward and work hours were always respected. I would fully recommend volunteering here!!

The Team and other Volunteers felt like family to me. Paracas is a really lovely place. Not too much to do but a very peaceful atmosphere and nice and friendly local community. The only thing that I have to criticise is the communication, as some of our hours and type of work was changed last minute without asking us. During a week when you've already made plans that seemed a little ignorant to me. I can still fully recommend going here as I had an amazing time.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Everyone here is very friendly and always ready to help. Esteban is a very attentive host. He does all he can to make your stay amazing. I also really enjoyed the desert and the ocean. I was at the aera experience and it was great fun organizing activities! The schedules were always respected, I had plenty of free time. The place is very festive. I was happy to have my earplugs so I could sleep in. 😄 We feel like part of a family, and it's still weird to leave! Thank you Paracas and thank you to all the staff, you're incredible ❤️

Volunteering at the hostel has been amazing. I was working in experiences, where I helped with the activities throughout the week, such as volleyball, trivia night and karaoke. The shifts were super chill and I got to practice my Spanish a lot. The staff at the hostel is super kind and welcoming and I made great friends with the other volunteers. A special thanks to Esteban, who was always a super helpful and flexible boss. Gracias por todo, espero poder volver algún día!
