This was an amazing stay, the work didn't feel like work at all (i just had to be there sometimes in case the guests needed anything), i had a lot of free time, the cats are adorable and the valley is a stunning place!! i especially loved the bunch of waterfalls i was able to hike to (and swim in!) the b&b is nice and cosy, maria and gladys who run the place are so nice and welcoming i felt very safe as an alone women, in the b&b and even in the valley! the locals are really nice and friendly it was the perfect place to rest a bit before continuing my travels :) thanks again the guest house!

This is a great World Packers experience if you want to relax and explore the surrounding nature. Our duties were to feed the cats, and lock up at night. The BnB was beautiful, and we had the top floor to ourselves with a big room. A great way to relax and unwind - make sure to bring lots of food as it's very remote! Jimena and Maria are lovely hosts, and were always there to answer questions :) thank you!! We don't want to leave the lovely cats :(

We enjoyed our time at the guest house. Our main duty was to look after their two beautiful cats as well as a stray cat who has made home there and has two gorgeous kittens. We also locked up at night and helped with some of the pot washing, especially when there were big groups in. There was lots of flexibility and we had all our day times free which meant we could explore the area. There is some food available for you to cook with but we do recommend taking some of your own groceries and snacks as it's very limited, especially if you are staying a bit longer term.

If you love nature this is the place to be! I had an amazing time at the guest house and even though I don't speak Spanish, Maria and her daughters were so accommodating and helpful making my time there all the more enjoyable! The kitties are very sweet and affectionate and was hard to say goodbye but one of the many reasons I would recommend this position to everyone :)
