My best volunteering experience so far! ❤️ Everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming and patient. The managers are great, the hours are respected, and the food is delicious! I learned a lot in the kitchen and loved the friendly atmosphere, social events and beautiful surroundings. English isn't widely spoken, so learning some Spanish or Portuguese helps. I came here to relax and recharge, and I would absolutely come back. Thank you for this amazing experience! ❤️

I did social media for the hostel. Some tasks were adapted, and I also helped in other areas when needed. Working hours were respected, and even though we had different working styles, we always found a respectful balance. I really enjoyed my volunteer group and had a great experience in Cumbuco. Thank you, Luchi, for taking care of us. ❤️

I had a very nice experience at the hostel. The place is perfectly located by the beach, and the environment is cosy and chill. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It felt safe to stay there, and generally safe in Cumbuco. The work is well communicated and the working hours are flexible, which was very nice. I mostly helped out with the breakfast from 7-11 in the morning. There could be some work, but the time went fast and I got to the rest of the day. The only negative I want to say is that there's no surfboards to rent for free, as it says in the Worldpackers profile.

Volunteering at the hostel was extremely special for me; I felt at home, with family; I was very warmly welcomed; I made very special friendships; I had a lot of contact with sports, the hostel and nature; and so, really, Cumbuco is the best. This place brought me great connections and opportunities. The hosts keep to the agreed work arrangement, the accommodation is cozy with a kitchen and a separate area for volunteers, in addition to the breakfast being wonderful! I thank everyone from the hostel but especially Flavia, Matt and Luchi; I am very, very grateful for the kindness. I highly recommend this experience.♡

The hostel is a special place, one of those you arrive as a volunteer and, in a short time, feel part of a family. The energy of the place and, above all, the people make the experience unique. The hosts and staff are very welcoming, open to suggestions and flexible. The work is calm, well organized and allows plenty of free time to enjoy Cumbuco, meet people from different places and even balance it with other projects. I lived through moments and created connections that I will carry with me. It's definitely a place I want to return to!

My experience at the hostel was wonderful! It's no wonder it's the best hostel in Cumbuco. 30 meters from the beach, delicious breakfast, I did social media and my hours were super flexible, a multicultural team. If you want to practice your Spanish here in BR, this is the place! Discounts on the hostel's classes and events are always fun 🤍 Luchi, my boss, besides being an amazing kitesurfer, welcomed me very well and is always open to hearing new ideas, thanks to the hostel team for being a channel of opportunities and for being a place that has become home ☺️ (ps: I renewed my volunteering and I will stay twice as long)

Indiana is a wonderful hostel for those who want (or not) to experience the world of kitesurf. The space is spacious, there is a lot of greenery, and the breakfast is sensational (Flávia makes an amazing tapioca!). My partner and I did media volunteering with a drone, camera, and cellphone. We stayed in a shared room, where they avoided housing guests <3 the volunteering is simple and when we felt the need to adjust the demands, Luchi, one of the hostel's owners, was very understanding. Thanks to everyone for everything <3 <3

It was an amazing month! We experienced the pre-season, the start of the World Cup, and Festa Junina. Luchi was an excellent host, always concerned about us and always willing to help. The hostel made me discover Cumbuco and the hostel, and I will certainly return to the hostel, but as a guest and to do the hostel. The "vibe" of the hostel is a bit of tranquility, with a dash of craziness and the hostel. Besides Luchi who is amazing, Joni, Matt, and Evy, I will carry with me for life. Thank you Luchi for believing in our work and for opening this opportunity for us.

A strong and flowing energy exists in this place, and it transforms for the better, whoever arrives with an open heart. The hostel was the best experience I've ever had in these years of volunteering; the place is a living ecosystem, organized, creative, light, relaxed and full of people properly aligned, prepared and happy, working by choice, for a greater experience. Those were extremely happy, dynamic and very special days. I could be 100% all the time, and I was welcomed with a lot of love. It was a memorable season. The hostel is a pulsating artery of Cumbuco. seeyoulater
