This was my second season at the hostel, and it was even better than the first! The hostel is a blessed home! I contributed the best I could and I had moments of great satisfaction alongside good people who pass through there. The host (Diego) provided me with a comfortable single room with good blankets due to the cold, haha, lent me his bike several times to go for some rides around the charming Candelária, not to mention the well-equipped kitchen that allowed me to prepare my meals and those of others who felt comfortable with my culinary skills. All in all, a productive experience!

The hostel was my first experience, and it couldn't have been better. I had the opportunity to meet and mingle with incredible people. Diego was an excellent host, always attentive and helpful. Volunteering here brought me peace, joy, and a sense of lightness that I will carry with me. It was wonderful to get to know the city, the people and the local culture. I hope one day to return and see everyone from the hostel.

A experiência na banana estava tão boa que resolvi estender mais um pouco. Foi um prazer poder contribuir com a divulgação da cultura e história de Candelária. Baita imersão! Recomendo a todos que desejam ter experiências únicas.

Voluntariar no hostel foi uma experiência ímpar. Pude conhecer muito sobre a rica história de Candelária, com seus dinossauros, monge e morro sagrado, sem falar nas belezas naturais da região. Quem olha esse cidadezinha pacata no centro do RS não imagina os encantos que estão escondidos por aqui. O Diego foi um anfitrião muito buena onda, sempre prestativo e disposto a ensinar. Trocamos várias ideias, me levou conhecer vários picos maneiros. Carregamos até uns dinos pelas ruas ruas da cidade. Sem palavras para descrever essa experiência. SEGURA O BICHO 😱😂
