I am loving my time here in Puemape… Kayosha is so flexible and open for new ideas and always looking on how to make the experience better for the volunteer. The place is stunning it's a one minute walk to the beach and from the house you have a gorgeous view on the desert!! The work is exactly as advertised and you get to organize yourself alittle with the selling hours because it depends on the people on the beach of course :) All in all I really enjoyed my time here!

I had a great experience in Puemape, a sweet hostel in a quiet village between the desert and the ocean. Most of the work is baking and selling desserts, which I absolutely loved. Approaching people to sell can feel a bit uncomfortable, but I also had lovely talks with friendly people. I also cleaned rooms and sorted trash. Kayosha is a kind and very helpful boss who treats you as an equal, though he has strict household rules that require a lot of attention to detail to follow. Overall, I truly enjoyed my time in Puemape.

Had one of the best experiences here with Kayosha. Very chill work and a lot of surfing. I even decided to stay longer to go surfing with Kayosha and play some football with his friends. If you love baking, selling and surfing this is perfect for you everything is really easy and truly an amazing experience.

No words can describe how it felt to be part of this wonderful project. Puemape is a wonderful place for developing your surf skills, your social skills and learning a lot about yourself. Kayosha was a great host and a great friend, with who we shared a lot of nice moments and memories with. Also the work has been a great opportunity to improve social skills, we had a good time connecting with different local people but also international travelers. It helped us a lot to get new perspectives about life and in the end it felt like leaving a second home. a lot of love, fanni and teresa :)

I enjoyed my time volunteering in Puémape. Approaching people for selling desserts can be intimidating at first but you grow with it and find yourself in nice conversations. I liked the baking the most! It's a great place for learning and improving your surfing and Kayosha has made himself a really nice home. He follows his own philosophy of living and and cares about the environment. He's strict about his rules for the place and likes sharing his opinion about you, also about aspects not connected to work. All in all, I had a great time! 🏄🏼♀️🐚🏖️

Home away from home! Puemape is such a special place, and it felt very meaningful to have a part in local conservation through Kayosha's project. Kayo's also a very talented and passionate surf instructor, and my surfing improved so much while staying there. I'll miss taking walks through the desert with his dogs, Kala and Mecanico. It was cool to see how Kayosha makes everything from scratch and is committed to a no-waste kitchen; and all the desserts are delicious:) The rooms were super cozy and clean, Kayosha is a wonderful host and it was great to make memories with other travellers there

This was my first experience as a volunteer and I couldn't be happier. I felt very welcome right from the start. Kayosha was super nice, the tasks were fun and varied, and he was also flexible with the working hours so I could go surfing when the waves were good! I enjoyed baking cakes the most. His recipes are delicious and the kitchen is well equipped. I also learned a lot about sustainability and other aspects of life. The conversations with him were very interesting and I learned a lot for life. Thank you for everything, Kayosha!

Just an amazing month here. I highly recommend this volunteering experience to improve environmental knowledge, meet with Peruvian people, and help Kayosha in his project. Shared great discussions about life, books, sports and backpacking and really felt at home away from home. If you're looking to improve or test urself in any way possible, this the right place !

Amazing experience with Kayo and Elo. Really nice people with an interesting philosophy of life. I learnt a lot of things and they taught me to surf. Puemape is a very good place where you can stay chill and surf all time without too many people in the water. Often you can practice alone. The volunteer gave me the opportunity to practice my Spanish, meet the locals and know their culture.

Volunteering at the project was a great experience. My job was to sell homemade cakes at the beach twice a day, and the working hours were always respected, leaving plenty of time to surf. I wasn't very good at surfing when I arrived, but with so much time in the water, I definitely made progress. The atmosphere was super relaxed, and the people were kind and welcoming. The town itself is very quiet, which was exactly what I was looking for. There's not much around, but that made it super chill.
