I had a good time time volunteering at the hostel. Praxides and Kalesma are very lovely. The hostel is one of the cleanest I've stayed in South America and the bedroom is nice and warm which is needed in Cusco! The volunteering is in the morning and they are reasonable - if you finish your tasks you can finish earlier (as long as you do it properly!) I had lots of time to explore Cusco 😊

I recommend the hostel for volunteering; all the platform rules are followed, Praxi and Kalesma explained the tasks clearly and objectively.
There were days of a lot of learning, cultural exchange, new friendships and moments I will carry with me forever. I thank Praxi and Kalesma for welcoming me with open arms, for the trust and for providing a welcoming environment where I could contribute and, at the same time, grow as a person.
Traveling goes far beyond knowing places; it's about creating connections, sharing experiences and learning with people from different parts of the world.

This volunteering was very special for my position because the activities were simple, the hosts were very kind, and thanks to their advice I could get to know Cusco and its surroundings better. The activities I carried out lasted 4 hours in the mornings with 1 day of rest per week; these consisted of cleaning common areas and preparing breakfast, which simply involved putting out the options so that the guests could serve themselves their breakfast. I must emphasize that the hostel is a very pleasant hostel, well located, and where the hosts receive travelers from all over the world with open arms. 🫶🏻recommended!

That was my second volunteer experience and the schedule is very flexible so you can enjoy the city in the afternoon, the area is very quiet, the facilities are very nice and with a horizon view that you enjoy at dawn.
Praxi and Kale were very hospitable and taught me to perform the activities in the best possible way, and Praxi always has the best travel tips.
Although I was in the low season, I could meet other travelers and share experiences. It was a lovely stay 🤍

I loved the time I was able to stay at the hotel c: I met a lot of people, I made many friends from all over the world, but Praxi's support with their tips on how to get around Cusco was very helpful. Praxi and Kale's kindness was one of the best parts of the hotel :3 Thank you, girls!!!
