It was my very first WorldPackers volonteers experience there, first solo travel in Latin America and in Perú. This experience made me discovered so many amazing things about local life, local food and local culture. Felicia is a sweet, kind and devoted woman to her dogs shelter and she deserves more volonteer'help. This volonteer experience made me grown in a way to have faith in people and in life.

I had a great time with Felicia, the job is fun, you get to do different tasks at the shelter that makes it super dynamic, and the dogs are very nice. The house is very clean and very big. You share an entire apartment with only one other volunteer and you have your own room. The food is good and I always had enough to eat for dinner too. I'm not great at speaking spanish, but Felicia is very patient and helped me learn a lot. I had to go get a taxi a few times and she helped me with that to make sure I was safe and she even let me invite people over.

Felicia was very welcoming and made amazing meals for breakfast and lunch every day with usually enough leftovers for dinner! And she is doing an amazing job with the shelter, all the dogs are really sweet but they need more help so I'd really recommend volunteering! Also the room I stayed in was amazing and it was very easy to get into Cusco's centre on the bus. Wish I could have stayed longer and will miss this experience a lot :(
