The hostel is in the middle of the nature, just a couple of minutes away from the beach. If you want a relaxing place to stay, come here:) The work hours are pretty chill and you can enjoy what the little villages offer. I was there during the whale season and it was amazing:)

The lodge was an excellent experience, because you really feel like you are part of a family, I would definitely come back and would highly recommend it as my first volunteering experience. You grow up with amazing people and you learn a lot about local culture, while at the same time you disconnect from the world
