I stayed in this amazing Hostel as a volunteer and I learned a lot about the peruvian culture and the Inka's history. The place is amazing and all of the people who I met were really kind, I definitely recommend this project!

Great experience at the hotel, it is a lovely hotel in the mountains. Washington the owner and the other volunteers were lovely and I had a great time here. The tasks were simple and you get on with them by yourself , I liked the flexibility and being so close to explore all of the sacred valley on my days off. There's lots of hiking you can do nearby.

It was a very nice experience; together with the other volunteers we made a good team. Although Washi would go to the hostel every now and then, he kept in constant contact via WhatsApp. The only aspect to improve was that the internet was not very stable, which prevented me from working well… the guests mentioned the same thing.

It was a very good experience, Wachi is a very warm and pleasant person, I felt very comfortable during that time, I think with a little more organization regarding some tasks it would be much better, as for the rest, the time I spent at the hotel was incredible and I am grateful to Wachito for welcoming us
