The Experience

Help with the cleaning around our hostel in Xicotepec, Puebla and taking pictures of the town and routes we have or make for publicity purposes. The idea is to make the small town we are in known to the rest of the world! Xicotepec is a Magical Town of the Huasteca Poblana with a strong syncretism that you can discover in a tour of its streets, an excursion in its mountains and adventure in its waterfalls.

Omar, Laura, Lupita and Thonny were really welcoming and were happy to show me around Xicotepec de Juárez. I also went hiking with their 20 dogs it was amazing, and to the waterfalls, explored the city and nature. They're very proud about their puebla and gave me alot of information about its history.. Volunteering there was not hard at all, I was not asked to do much, except for painting and photography which were the main things I applied for.

La labor que hace Omar con los animales rescatados es destacable y las tareas del voluntariado permiten conocer de una manera increíble Xicotepec de Juárez. Además es una persona amable y atenta. Sin embargo, las condiciones del alojamiento no nos parecieron adecuadas y deberían mejorar mucho en cuanto a limpieza.

Fue una experiencia inesperada, nos conectamos mucho con la cultura local, las historias del pueblo. Aprendimos mucho sobre espiritualidad mexicana, descubrimos lugares increíbles dentro de la naturaleza e incluso participamos en un Temazcal. 100% recomendado

Una experiencia increíble si te gustan la naturaleza, los animales y las aventuras al aire libre. Omar, Laura y Tony me recibieron con los brazos abiertos durante todo momento, al igual que el pueblito mágico de Xicotepec.
