I had a wonderful time at Pachamama House! The hosts are really welcoming and made us feel at home, including us volunteers in their day to day life beyond the tasks that were expected of us. I had wonderful interactions with the locals and I could immeroace myself in the community, which is what I really wanted.

A great place to meet new people from all over the world & help out with whatever ideas the hosts have for improving life in their local communities.
I have volunteered for several places like this one & am always surprised by the wonderful people I meet. The family type of daily events, meals & discussions were great. The hosts are very flexible & so very helpful (the best!) You will get to see real culture here including the food, learning the language & how people here live their daily lives...not the people at the resorts...the families that make up this community. I'll be back! HUGS

Vero and Su were absolutely incredible. Their warmth, kindness, and the beautiful energy they created made all the difference, it's thanks to them that everything unfolded so positively for me. This was my very first solo experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better place to begin. Even in just two weeks, it had a deeper impact on me than I expected. I felt welcomed and supported from the start, and this experience truly helped me grow in confidence. The children are wonderful, so full of light, and I love them very much. I'm deeply grateful for everything. 🤍

This was absolutely one of the best experiences of my life! Sui and Vero are the most amazing and welcoming people ever. I showed up barely speaking any Spanish, but they were so patient and kind, teaching me more every single day. They're basically family now, and they made me love traveling even more. Not to mention, the food was amazing. This was also my first WorldPackers experience, and I'd recommend it to any other new travelers as well! I will miss them and the animals so much, and I can't wait to visit again ❤️

There's not enough words to express my gratitude for Suilma and Vero (& of course Lucy)! My experience was absolutely phenomenal and the work they do is truly amazing. From the minute they picked me up from the airport they welcomed me with open arms. I felt safe and supported at all times. We shared delicious meals, explored, practiced Spanish, danced and created a bond I will never forget. The experience with the kids and teachers was also so very welcoming and an amazing opportunity to connect in ways I didn't know I needed in life. I gained family forever through this opportunity. <3

Su & Vero were amazing hosts!!! They ensure you are comfortable & cared for while in their home. There is a good balance of time eating together, community work, and exploring the local areas/things to do. They are both so nurturing, funny, witty, curious, and open to connecting ~ you are safe in their care! :) I volunteered in PV and will for sure be going to their Peru location as well. So much more love, learning, & laughter to be had ♡

Sui and Vero were amazing hosts! From the moment they picked me up at the airport, they were incredibly warm and welcoming. They know Puerto Vallarta well and gave me great suggestions on places to visit. Volunteering at the cultural center was a highlight. The kids were kind and curious and interested in learning about me. The teacher there was also very friendly. Staying with Sui and Vero felt like family, I enjoyed home cooked meals and interesting conversations while eating. I'm grateful for the experience and plan for a visit with them the next time I'm in Vallarta.

Sui and Vero were fabulous hosts! They met me at the airport with big hugs. Life with them was authentic and engaging! Meal times were filled with good food and great conversation and we took several excursions around Puerto Vallarta, nature walks, sunsets at the beach, farmers markets and even a movie! Volunteering at the school was worthwhile and heartwarming. The kids accepted me and included me in spite of my limited Spanish. Classes at the community center were enjoyable and everyone was so welcoming. Highly recommend a homestay with Sui and Vero!
