I loved my time at the shelter. It's a very peaceful and calm environment. Working on their new hostel was rewarding and an experience I would never have otherwise had. Also the cats and dog (pequeño)are a bonus. Thanks for having me!

I spent nearly two weeks volunteering at this hostel, and I couldn't imagine a better place to volunteer. I met so many people from different countries, practiced my Spanish, and had a great time. The duties weren't exhausting, and the atmosphere and management were really pleasant.

I had a great time at the hostel. The work and the people are pretty chill, and I had a lot of free time to explore the town and the mountains. Volunteers sleep in a separate house not far from the hostel, and I usually took the scenic route through a field where I bumped into random people just playing music, or chilling out. I even petted some cows! The volunteer house needs some improvement though. We had to clean the bathroom and the kitchen, and there's a cat and a dog who sneak into the bedroom at night, so you might wanna look out for that! All in all I'd recommend though!

I enjoyed my experience. I stayed for one week, made the most of my time in Pisac and liked connecting with the other volunteers, the cats and Patas at the house where we stayed. I led some yoga practices and helped with reception, and everything felt very easygoing. Andrés and Ramiro are kind, even though there were a few communication mix-ups at times. I had a great time and would definitely recommend it for those who want to spend some time in Pisac. Tks for having me 💚
