Program Details
Our hostel is a family-friendly place located in the mountains of Ecuador, near Laguna del Quilotoa. We host travelers from different parts of the world who seek nature, local culture and tranquility, and most importantly hiking; we have a very well-known route, the Quilotoa Loop.
The volunteer program is a cultural exchange. Volunteers help a few hours a day with hostel activities, especially in digital marketing and social media. In return we offer accommodation, a family atmosphere and the opportunity to get to know local life.
We want volunteers to feel part of our family and live an authentic experience in the community.
