I stayed one week in Arequipa and overall I would say it was fun. The team is nice and the Café has a perfect location in the city center. The working hours were totally fair and I've learned a lot about working in gastronomy. But I would definitely recommend to speak at least Intermediate Spanish, during work and with the staff you have to talk in Spanish. Often we had a lot of costumers at the same time and I'm glad that I could helped the team :)

The café is a nice place and the people there are friendly! The accommodation is at a nearby hostel next to the Plaza de Armas which was a great location. In general, it is a good place to volunteer but I feel like the communication about the tasks/expectations could be better as I felt lost at first - however, it got better and I managed to figure things out. It was fun creating content for Instagram :)

I spent one and a half months with Sauro and the team of mi.the host. What I probably liked best was that the café is a meeting place for travellers and locals. The same applies to the hostel in which I stayed (it was rather quiet than a party hostel). Thanks to the great team at mi.the host, I very quickly felt at home in beautiful Arequipa. I started my experience with a very rustic knowledge of Spanish, but would recommend that future volunteers have an intermediate knowledge (btw, there were no professional spanish classes). Thanks for all the effort and the unforgettable experiences <3
