The Experience

Tarpuy is a cultural, social, and educational center housed in a three-story patrimonial house where education, art, and culture coexist, centered on children and young people with a humanistic and compassionate approach. From Monday to Friday, an open Montessori school operates on the upper floors, and on the first floor there are two rooms waiting for travelers who want to help with the space's support tasks.

Highly recommended experience! We have been able to make the most of Valparaíso while staying in a quiet place, with a lot of peace and good connectivity as well. The organization of tasks has always been agreed upon together and is super flexible. The space is large, comfortable, and with everything you need. Dani is the best! Very pleasant, communicative, and attentive to whatever may happen. The school is a very lovely project as well as the people who support it and are part of it. I would totally recommend this experience if you are looking for tranquility, good vibes, and time to enjoy Valpo🌞

This volunteering experience has been one we will remember for the rest of our lives. Valparaíso is a great city and the casona is a large space, close to everything and where you can rest. Our tasks have consisted of cleaning and housekeeping during the guests' stay and setting up the school after the summer break. Dani has always looked after our well-being and comfort and has been flexible with our plans. The schedules are good and the tasks enjoyable and manageable. We 100% recommend volunteering at the school, we’ll miss you 🫂

Mireia... you have no idea how wonderful it was to have them in our home. They have a beautiful energy, they radiate joy and calm. They were the best!!! Their volunteering helped keep this space alive, and they did it with so much commitment, dedication and goodwill that I will be eternally grateful to them 🥰 No doubt they will meet people who will love them as much as we do... We look forward to having them back whenever they want to return 🙌🌱 Lots of love to both of you 🫶

The school was one of the best experiences I have had, Dani is an incredible host, very pleasant, flexible and caring. The mansion is very quiet, with a beautiful garden, I shared with two other volunteers who were also excellent companions, The tasks are simple. The house is located in a great place, so it's easy to go to the beach, take transportation to the Plan, and it's a quiet neighborhood, it felt like a refuge, I go away very grateful

We were here for three weeks and it was a very good experience. Daniella was always very kind, warm, and attentive with us. From the first day we felt welcomed and comfortable. The place is very quiet and pleasant, ideal for resting and disconnecting. There isn’t much going on, but that also makes it special if you want peace and nature. We recommend this place to those seeking a calm environment and a very kind host. 🌿🌺🦋 Thank you for everything! ☺️
