Sirce and Manuel are really kind people. In generall it was a good experience, it was at the end of the season, when things were quieter and I often worked independently. She was always open to communication, understanding of my needs, and flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated since I was also traveling during this time. the hostel is a cozy and traditional hostel in the south of Chile, full of local character. I had the chance to take care of the fire, meet international guests, and enjoy a warm, simple atmosphere.

I LOVE THIS HOSTEL! The staff and owner, Sirce, are absolutely incredible. My world packing experience was focused on working on the hostel's social media and update the website. Sirce gave me full flexibility to create my own schedule, which is perfect for this type of work and was super open to learning so that she can continue the work once I left. The vibe is the hostel is really great, they make you feel like family. <3 Puerto Varas is an awesome town to visit and would recommend this place to anyone.

This was my first experience traveling with Worlspackers. I loved the days I spent at the Vermont hostel, the people working at the hostel are very nice and caring, Sirce is a fantastic person! About the city of Puerto Varas, it is small so in a few days it is possible to know all the cool points that travelers are looking for, I believe that one week is enough.
