This was my first volunteering opportunity abroad, and it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of my trip. Cooking never felt like a chore, it felt like a shared experience from trips to the local market in Lurin to experimenting with traditional Peruvian recipes. I learned a lot and had fun too. Yarin and Felipe were kind, generous and welcoming hosts. They truly made the place feel like home, not just accommodation. Would highly recommend this place to volunteers looking to improve their surfing whilst connecting with good people and culture.

I have no complaints about my stay here at the hostel! The shifts and duties were exactly as promised, with no surprises. The host Yarin was very accommodating and super friendly and easy to get along with. Felipe (surf instructor) is an amazing and patient teacher. The hostel vibes are super chill and the guests and other volunteers were awesome. I painted a whole wall muraI here too! I will come back 100% (in the high season), even as a guest. Made friends for life :)

This was the best place for my first volunteering experience. I felt right at home. Tasks are easy (making beds, check in, helping with kitchen, painting flower pots) and it doesn't feel like working. I had a lot of time for sunbathing and enjoying the beach and exploring beautiful Punta Hermosa. Yarin is really great host, who's ready to help with anything, to tell some jokes or just take you to delicious menú del día. Two cute cats and dog Rita are keeping a company and guarding their house. I wish I could stay longer!
