Ter sido voluntária na refúgio foi muito bom, principalmente pelas belas e maravilhosas paisagens que se tem lá de cima da montanha. Realmente tive essa experiência encantadora que jamais sairá da minha mente. Fez eu me conectar literalmente com a natureza e tudo o que ela pode oferecer, como paz de espírito e reflexão. Valeu muito a pena! Mas infelizmente tem algumas situações que poderiam ser melhoradas, saber separar de algumas vezes ser tratado o voluntário como se fossem um funcionário, entre algumas outras situações e etc... Mas acredito q apesar das divergências, foi bom o aprendizado!

Foi muito legal, apreciamos muito um dos melhores por do Sol já visto, desfrutamos da visão do lago e das montanhas com neve, do teleférico, ter contato com outras pessoas, as instalações do local são muito aconchegante, por esses razões valeu a pena. Porém, todavia, deixou a desejar em algumas situações tais como: Poucas vezes tivemos contato com o anfitrião, a questão de saber diferenciar entre um voluntário como funcionário, (Excedimento de tarefas após o horário cumprido). Agradecemos o pessoal da equipe, principalmente a Conon. Valeu a pena a experiência! Vai deixar saudade o local. ❣️

Minha experiência no Refúgio the hostel foi muito boa, definitivamente um dos lugares mais bonitos que já fui. Tive pouco contato com os chefes, quem comandava mais eram os funcionários, que são todos simpáticos e queridos. O trabalho pode passar das 6h se você não impor limites, mas só dizer que deu seu tempo e sair. Único ponto negativo foi durantes alguns dias que surgiram excursões de escolas, que lotaram o refúgio. Nisso, faltavam pessoas para dar conta da demanda, então trabalhávamos bem mais do que esperado (cheguei a trabalhar mais de 9h num dia). Mas não tornou uma experiência ruim, grato!

Minha experiência no Refúgio o hostel, no Vulcão Osorno, foi incrível. O lugar é simplesmente espetacular, cercado por uma paisagem única, com vista direta para o vulcão e muita tranquilidade. O refúgio é acolhedor e transmite uma sensação real de conexão com a natureza. Ideal para quem busca descanso, aventura e silêncio ao mesmo tempo. A energia do lugar é especial, perfeita para desacelerar e viver a montanha de verdade. Recomendo muito a experiência! Agradeço ao Cristóbal, Fran, Patricio e Cristian. Nos veremos em breve!

La vista desde el hostel es espectacular tuve habitación privada y todas las comidas. Las tareas son simples pero no hubo buena organización y comunicación en cuanto a los horarios de trabajo y los días libres. Además, los días que estuve no pude acceder a excursiones, fiestas o tragos como estaba publicado. De todas formas agradezco la experiencia y la oportunidad de dormir en un volcán :)
