Paola and the team immediately make you feel like family - between shared meal, hikes, bonfires, and lots of guitar! This has been one of the best volunteer opportunities on world packers - highly recommend!! The climbing, hot springs and hikes in the area are beautiful - and it has some of the best stargazing!

Nossa experiência em casal como voluntário no Refúgio o hostel, foi algo que nos forneceu muitos aprendizados, principalmente no espanhol que foi uns dos nossos principais objetivos. A anfitriã Paola e sua amiga Rosa nos receberam muito bem, e sempre mantendo a comunicação com dicas e informações importantes de cuidados para se manter nas montanhas, elas são pessoas maravilhosas que levarei essa amizade pro resto da vida.❤️🏔️

Nossa experiência como voluntários no Refúgio o hostel foi simplesmente incrível!!! Tivemos uma recepção maravilhosa graças a anfitriã Paola e sua grande amiga Rosa, apesar da distância em que se localiza o refúgio (alto das montanhas) recebemos todas as orientações e informações importantes para chegar com segurança. Além disso, praticamos muuuito espanhol com as meninas, elas eram sempre pacientes e colaborativas. Somos muito gratos pela oportunidade e amizade que levaremos para toda a vida. ❤️
