Pituco is not just a place to sleep while you travel. It’s a hostel where people truly connect — with fellow guests, with the volunteers, with Mendoza. That connection is not an accident; it’s something we build every day.
The tasks are concrete and you’ll always have someone to show you how to do them. What we value most isn’t prior experience,
If you’re looking for an experience where you truly become part of something, this is your place.

Volunteering is 5 hours per day, 5 days a week, in rotating shifts between 9 AM and 12 AM. The minimum commitment is 3 weeks.
We organize events at the hostel, so if your shift is during one of them we will need your participation!
Three rotating shifts:
Morning (9 AM – 2 PM): Breakfast, reception, check-outs and check-ins, general cleaning.
Afternoon (2 PM – 7 PM): Reception, bathroom and common area cleaning, stock control.
Night (7 PM – 12 AM): Reception, end-of-day, final cleaning, preparation for the day following day.
What matters to us most:
- Genuine good vibes, not just commitment
- Treat each guest as a person, not as a reservation
- Responsibility for shared spaces
- Clear communication with the team
- Punctuality and commitment to your shift
We don’t seek perfection. We look for people who are committed to the project and genuinely want the person next to them to do well.
The hostel has fingerprint entry and a quiet-hours policy starting at midnight.
