About the experience in: Lago Puelo, Argentina
Argentina
On my first experience as a volunteer in the Andean region, I ended up at Maxi's hostel not really knowing what I was going to find. To my pleasant surprise, I was welcomed by a team that conveys the values of familiarity, mutual respect, and a commitment to helping. But above all I felt free to be myself, to propose ideas and to spend each day in a very pleasant way. As for the hostel, it is cozy and has everything you need. Lago Puelo seems to me a very beautiful place, if you're used to tranquility, to walking a lot, and to climbing mountains. Very grateful, I would come back.

About the experience in: Lago Puelo, Argentina
Argentina
I stayed for 15 days and there were only two female volunteers with one guest, so there were long hours with no defined tasks.
The lack of communication and guidance was the hardest part.
There was no orientation or support when I had an accident, and there was also no basic first-aid kit.
The treatment toward the volunteer team was demeaning on some occasions, and access to common spaces was limited.
It's a place with a lot of potential and a good location.
I recommend it for independent travelers who are looking for a volunteer opportunity with minimal structure and who can manage everything on their own.

As soon as she arrived, she asked to use my car to go for a free ride. Then, she would leave, along with the other volunteer, the entire kitchen dirty after cooking. Later, they were smoking joints (even though they didn't look that way) and they were completely trashed in the lobby.

My first volunteer experience and my first solo trip. From day one I was welcomed with a lot of warmth. We shared dinners, strolls, and very lovely moments, both with the other volunteers and with Maxi and his family. Thanks Maxi and Mariel for every adventure; each place you took me to was incredible. It brought me wonderful people, unforgettable places, and an experience that made me come home very happy 🥹❤️

My experience with Maxi was very positive. From the first moment I felt comfortable and well received, especially since it was my first experience as a volunteer. The communication was clear and as expected, and the tasks are simple and manageable, which also allows me to enjoy the surroundings.
I was able to connect a lot with Lago Puelo's tranquility, rest and enjoy the place. I felt at ease throughout my stay, in a relaxed and respectful environment. Without a doubt, it was a very pleasant experience that I would recommend.

The facilities are fairly good, which makes it comfortable. The work to be done is very straightforward and not difficult to understand. Maxi was always willing to communicate for any situation.
