Program Details

We offer local cooking classes for foreign visitors. The experience starts with a visit to the market, where we buy the necessary ingredients. Then we return to the house and the chef guides the group in preparing different local dishes.

The volunteer will mainly assist with communication and translation during the tour and the class, in addition to collaborating with the organization and cleaning of the space. We also offer salsa dance classes, creating a cultural experience for those who visit us. 💃

Before accepting a volunteer, we conduct a video call interview. We have hosted many people before and, for us, it is very important to have volunteers who are committed, responsible and with a good attitude during their entire stay.

Having knowledge or experience in massages will be considered a plus.
