Huaka Guesthouse

🌵 Huaka is much more than a place to sleep. It’s a home for travelers, and we want those who come to collaborate with us to feel part of the place from day one.

We are Vale and Max, and we are behind Huaka. We like to travel, meet people from different places and share experiences. We know what it means to be far from home and arrive at a new place, which is why we want our volunteers to feel comfortable, respected and well received.

We believe in exchanges where both sides win: we receive help and new ideas, and those who come to Huaka have the opportunity to get to know Cafayate, share with other travelers and live a different experience.

🤝 How do we treat our volunteers?

We like to work with clear and direct communication. Before starting, we explain the tasks, schedules and what we expect from the exchange, and we are open to listening to proposals and ideas.

We do not expect our volunteers to be hostel employees. They are part of our team during their stay, and we want there to be respect, trust and a good atmosphere.

We also understand that every traveler has their own personality, their own timings and their own way of doing things. That’s why we look for responsible and committed people, but we also offer a relaxed environment where they can enjoy their free time and get to know Cafayate.

For us the fundamentals are respect for guests, the care of the house, responsibility and good communication.

🌎 If you’re looking for a quiet place, to meet other travelers, enjoy nature and be part of a small team, we’d love to welcome you to Huaka.

We look forward to seeing you in Cafayate! 🌵✨

An incredible experience! Vale and Maxi welcomed us with the best vibes; it was a luxury to spend a few days with them! The hostel is very well organized, the facilities are very comfortable, and the location is perfect.
The volunteer tasks are simple, and thanks to the hostel's extensive information, you can explore and enjoy the attractions Cafayate offers.

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel! The vibes of the hostel are so chill, it was great to just relax in the yard in my spare time. Maxi was very welcoming, as were all the staff. I was the only volunteer and got to work on painting the hostel (walls, tables, patios) and some small art projects. I also assisted with check ins and some cleaning when needed. The hostel is close to the main plaza. Definitely recommend.

Vale and Max host this hostel with so much love and keep making improvements everyday so the tasks are as easy as possible. The warm and welcome atmosphere helped me and guests to connect more with each other and explore the incredible nature but also enjoy the piece and quiet in the beautiful garden. El Viaje son las personas - at the hostel it's not just a sign on the wall because it fits travelling - you can feel it 1000%. I'm so grateful for the experience and the people I met. If you happen to be in Cafayate this is the place to be. Mejor hostel. Gracias Max y Vale👏 Voy a volver😊

Tuve una experiencia muy positiva! Me sentí muy cómodo durante mi estadia y aprendi mucho sobre como funciona un Hostel! Me pareció equilibrado el intercambio y súper recomiendo. Maxi y vale son cálidos y muy dedicados a su trabajo, me enseñaron mucho de lo que saben, sobre Hostel y viajes, consejos y experiencias, y compartimos varios momentos lindos! Conocí mucha gente hermosa y disfrute mucho Cafayate! Más que recomendado!
