My time at Oswaldo's place was one of the best experiences of my life. Oswaldo is a wonderful and incredibly welcoming person who makes you feel at home instantly and does everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The location of the cabañas is a little paradise right at the beach, perfect to relax and enjoy the sun. Working with Oswaldo was easy and an amazing experience that taught me a lot, I couldn't have wished for a better volunteering and can only recommend it! Thank you Oswaldo!

I really enjoyed my 2 weeks at Oswaldos place. The tasks were totally manageable and sometimes he told me that I don't need to work at all. Oswaldo is very fun to be around, responsible and always respects the working hours. Additionally he tries to make the stay as enjoyable as possible, so I was able to explore Mancora on my own accord as well. Would definitely recommend working with Oswaldo! 🌞🌊🤞🏼

I had a lovely time in Mancora teaching Oswaldo German. It was easy to communicate with him and he was very accommodating. The hours were respected.

It was an amazing stay I had at the guest house. The staff is super friendly and it's absolutely beautiful (the houses aswell as the beaches in mancora). I stayed for only one week(stayed around longer) but had a lot of fun working and staying there. Can definitely recommend the place!

Osvaldo is a great person, and the place is idyllic. The tasks help Osvaldo repair and improve the cabins to which he devotes so much care. I personally learned a lot of skills and shared great moments with Osvaldo. Flexibility is very present, and the work is not heavy. All of that allowed me to have an amazing experience in Máncora, where I was also able to improve a lot in my surfing. I am sure I will return, both to continue helping Osvaldo achieve his goals and to enjoy the nature and tranquility of the beaches of Máncora.
