Mi experiencia en Punta Arenas fue simplemente increíble Tuve la oportunidad de realizar mi voluntariado en el hostal de la Sra. María y toda su familia, quienes me recibieron con mucho cariño y me hicieron sentir como en casa desde el primer día. El ambiente es acogedor, familiar y lleno de buenas energías. Aprendí mucho, conocí personas maravillosas, practiqué mi español y viví momentos que guardaré para siempre. Estoy muy agradecida por esta experiencia y la recomiendo de corazón a todos los que deseen vivir un voluntariado genuino, con hospitalidad y afecto verdaderos.

Estamos super agradecidos con doña María y su familia. Como dice su lema, un hogar lejos de casa, las tareas y horarios fueron claros, el hostal, cuartos y baños muy limpios y organizados, extrañaremos a la familia y a los otros voluntarios, en especial a Henrick. Un lugar muy recomendado para conocer Punta Arenas y como se vive en familia en Chile. Bendiciones.

Mi experiencia fue muy buena. María fue súper amable y respetó el horario establecido. El hotel está muy limpio y la temperatura es agradable. No me sentí como un simple voluntario, sino como parte de la familia.

Fue mi primer voluntariado y realmente lo recomiendo, me recibieron con mucho cariño y me hicieron sentir como en casa. Muchas gracias por eso señora Mari y familia 🩷 La habitación perfecta, muy cómoda. Las actividades nada pesadas, muy relacionadas a un hostal, limpieza y recepción. El hostal está perfectamente ubicado así que a solo unas cuadras está el centro, la costa, supermercado etc.

Gracias Itzel esperamos volver a verte cuando pases por acá para el regreso a tu pais. Fué un placer haber contado con tu presencia y tu ayuda en nuestro hostal. Deseamos sigas conociendo nuestra Patagonia y te lleves el mejor recuerdo de este lugar tan alejado del mundo pero con gente cálida y cercana.
