About the experience in: Huaraz, Peru
United States
Upon arrival, I had to ask a few different people what I was expected to do as the host wasn’t in town, and nobody seemed to know at first. I was pretty confused until the next morning when I asked more people and was finally told where to start. It was a fairly lonely, unengaging experience for the most part. If you’re looking to spend lots of time alone, this experience is for you. Since work is from 8am-1pm every day, you don’t have time to go on any hikes until your days off. I left early due to feeling isolated and unmotivated. It might be better for others but just wasn’t for me!

El Jacal Backpacker is a wonderful place to volunteer with! Ricardo is super communicative, kind, and flexible with the schedule if needed. Since it was rainy season, I was able to work longer shifts to get more full days off to explore the area. I mainly helped at reception and cleaning since breakfast isn't served in the hostel during off season. The work was easy, quick to learn and understand, and hours were respected!

como primer voluntariado fue una experiencia muy buena, las tareas son sencillas y los horarios se respetan. Ambiente muy tranquilo, Ricardo y Rosana son personas maravillosas, siempre dispuestas a ayudar, cambié mis horarios en un par de ocasiones para hacer trekkings y no hubo ningún problema. Los paisajes espectaculares de los alrededores de Huaraz en los días libres son un imperdible. Repetiría sin duda!!

La experiencia en el Jacal Backpackers fue súper linda y tranquila. Huaraz es una ciudad rodeada de lugares preciosos para conocer. Ricardo fue muy amable y también paciente durante mi estadía (ya que llegué muy enferma!) Entendió cuando tuve que ir al médico o hacer algún trámite importante. Las chicas de desayuno y limpieza muy amables y dispuestas a acompañar. En este lugar fui la única voluntaria, las tareas son sencillas, ideal para descansar y si tienes planes de conectar con la naturaleza y el lugar.
