This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was amazing! The host communicated tasks and schedule in advance and always stuck to it. She was always available to respond to any questions. The whole family is lovely, I felt very welcome and would always come again!

This was my first time volunteering at a hostel and it was a great experience. The team are wonderful - Luz, Evelin, Jose Luis and the whole team were kind and welcoming. They were flexible when I couldn't arrive on time due to travel issues. The hostel is super clean and has a very friendly atmosphere - you start to feel like a family. Shifts are pretty full on so be prepared to work hard, but if that's not a problem for you I am sure you will enjoy it here. Volunteers stay in our own little out house - it can get a bit chilly, so make sure to have a jumper, but the privacy is great to have.

I had a great time in Arequipa. The schedules are very well respected, and the hosts are very helpful and collaborative. There was one exception, but it didn't affect the experience in any way. I'd like to thank Maria, Adela, and the entire team for all their support and the great conversations! I definitely recommend the experience.

My stay at the hostel was wonderful! ☀️ The tasks are very simple (preparing breakfast, changing beds and a bit of cleaning and gardening) and the shifts are fair and flexible. I was given a warm welcome and felt very comfortable right from the start. The hostel is a social place where you'll never feel alone. The tours organised by the hostel (e.g. Colca Canyon) were also very nice! Arequipa is a great city with lots of cafés and beautiful squares. I can highly recommend this volunteering to everyone! Muchas gracias to Evelin, José, Luz and everyone else for the wonderful time! ❤️
