La Arteza Hotel

Our hotel offers an authentic experience in a peaceful coastal destination, ideal for those seeking real cultural exchange and a relaxed atmosphere. We are located just two blocks from the sea in Pacasmayo, one of the best surf spots in northern Peru.
Here you can participate in real creative projects, live with the local culture, and enjoy spacious gardens, hammocks, and spaces to rest or work. In addition, we offer surfing and Marinera dance classes, which allow you to experience a complete Peruvian experience beyond volunteering.

We are a small, family-like team that values respect, communication, and a positive atmosphere. Volunteers will be treated as part of the team, with constant support, clear instructions, and a safe and tranquil environment.
We promote cultural exchange, respectful coexistence, and mutual learning. We want your experience to be positive both inside and outside of work, so we will always be available to guide you about the city, activities, and local culture.

I loved this volunteering experience, I was so warmly welcomed by Alfonso and Claudia. The hours are very flexible, which allows me to go surfing or do other activities on the side. Regarding social media development, the tasks are fairly open; I was able to put my creativity to use and propose a few ideas. The place is very peaceful, it's a wonderful place where one feels good, thank you for everything!

This experience in the hotel was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay there. Alfonso and his family are amazing hosts, the job was very chill and varied. Alfonso has in mind so many cool projects to start developing his café and hotel. It was nice to be part of his ideas, I definitely want to get back to see how it develops, the place has a lot of potential. Pacasmayo is also a cool little town, you can surf or learn how to surf. We also went one time to sandboarding with Alfonso who is also keen to do activities. Thank you for everything!

Volunteering at the hotel was one of our favourite experiences.
Alfonso and his parents were extremely friendly, helpful and kind. Their doggo Gracia was an absolute sweetheart.
The work was simple and relaxed. Location was amazing, close to everything. Alfonso went out of his way to make plans with us including surfing, learning about kite surfing, sand boarding, movie and pizza nights, watching sunsets and playing volleyball. The hostel is big with washing facilities, hammocks, long pong, foosball, small gym area, bikes and large social areas. Also a cafe developing, fun to see the progress

I had a very good volunteering experience at the hotel. The place is very pleasant, especially the room, and you can use the kitchen with total peace of mind🍳. Alfonso and the other people are very kind and always treated me very well 😁. Moreover, Alfonso tries to organize activities or plans and also gives good recommendations to get to know the city. The tasks and activities of volunteering are fairly simple. Pacasmayo also seemed to me to be a very beautiful, quiet, affordable and safe city 🌴.. I highly recommend this volunteering and hope to be able to return someday. 🔅
