The Experience

We are a culturally diverse hostel and we are constantly growing. We have a new project for a beautiful patio with a natural, calm atmosphere and a very positive vibe. In short, the idea is to cover five days a week, keep the place tidy and clean, we have two to three shifts available and you have two days off per week. We manage the schedules together, so we have wide availability! :D

Claudio was a wonderful and open host that really created a good team dynamic and made sure that everyone felt included. My friend and I were really happy to have access to a huge quantity of vegetables, fruits and components to make ourselves wonderful meals everyday! We did housekeeping instead of bartending and cooking, but we still enjoyed the tasks. We met amazing people at the hostel and really created a special bond with some of them :) I would highly recommend volunteering at this hostel for its amazing location in Arica, for the good vibes and simply for a fun experience in Chile!

The stay was enjoyable and the hosts were really flexible. We had fun meeting other volonteers and friends of the house, as well as fellow travellers . the hostel is an hostel of sociabilisation and encounters. People were gentle and respectful. There is a lot of free time and space to create whatever your art is (cooking, dancing, visual arts, music, etc).
