The peninsula is extremely beautiful, the sunsets are unreal. The hostel was okay, work was really easy and Olber gave us a lot of freedom. Surely communication could be better. Many of the things advertised on WP were not available, maybe because it's low season A good experience overall

La experiencia es demasiado increíble, olber es una persona llena de energía, el lugar tiene una vibra única, muy auténtica, y las personas del hostal son demasiado amables. Es un espacio para conectar, conocer la cultura y también para encontrarte contigo mismo. Me voy feliz y con el corazón lleno.

La experiencia es super chill, el pueblo es super tranquilo y las tareas a realizar en el hostel también. Si te gusta la vida muy muy tranquila, es aquí. Olber es una persona muy amable y simpática y está para lo que necesites. Además pude aprender un poco surf y hasta tomé dos clases!
