Volunteering at the hostel was a great way to explore a part of Patagonia and interact with locals. Maxi and the other volunteers were all super friendly. The area is quiet in the sense that I did not meet a lot of people outside of the hostel, but there is a LOT of beautiful scenery nearby to explore :)

My experience at the hostel was beautiful!! A lot of connection with nature if you like trails and exploring, and Maxi is a very good guide and invites you to know Lago Puelo together! The volunteering afternoons are all very well explained, there are guide videos and as always, if there are questions you are explained with a lot of patience! I loved the experience and I highly recommend it! Thanks Maxi and Mariel for welcoming me to the volunteering program!

On my first experience as a volunteer in the Andean region, I ended up at Maxi's hostel not really knowing what I was going to find. To my pleasant surprise, I was welcomed by a team that conveys the values of familiarity, mutual respect, and a commitment to helping. But above all I felt free to be myself, to propose ideas and to spend each day in a very pleasant way. As for the hostel, it is cozy and has everything you need. Lago Puelo seems to me a very beautiful place, if you're used to tranquility, to walking a lot, and to climbing mountains. Very grateful, I would come back.

My first volunteer experience and my first solo trip. From day one I was welcomed with a lot of warmth. We shared dinners, strolls, and very lovely moments, both with the other volunteers and with Maxi and his family. Thanks Maxi and Mariel for every adventure; each place you took me to was incredible. It brought me wonderful people, unforgettable places, and an experience that made me come home very happy 🥹❤️

My experience with Maxi was very positive. From the first moment I felt comfortable and well received, especially since it was my first experience as a volunteer. The communication was clear and as expected, and the tasks are simple and manageable, which also allows me to enjoy the surroundings.
I was able to connect a lot with Lago Puelo's tranquility, rest and enjoy the place. I felt at ease throughout my stay, in a relaxed and respectful environment. Without a doubt, it was a very pleasant experience that I would recommend.

The facilities are fairly good, which makes it comfortable. The work to be done is very straightforward and not difficult to understand. Maxi was always willing to communicate for any situation.

My experience at the hostel was very good; Maxi, the host, is a very cool and approachable person, with whom you can talk without problems! The parents who live next door are excellent people; since the day I arrived they made me feel at home. The hostel is a beautiful and peaceful place, where you meet many people; it is almost close to the center, so you have everything at hand, and Lago Puelo is a paradise that I recommend you visit!

I can say that I felt comfortable, I could talk with Maxi, exchange ideas. It's flexible in different situations. Maxi knows how to listen.
The hostel is nice and warm. Guests come from various nationalities, people of all ages, families, couples, young people.
I was lucky to share with really friendly volunteers. That is very important because it creates a good atmosphere at the place.
This isn't the first time I volunteer here.
I chose it again because I felt good, I know the place and I know Maxi.
No doubt I would choose it again. 10 points 👍
