Staying at the camping was amazing! V cute hostel, with 24/7 access to the climbing wall, silks and trapeze. The work was super chill, the hours were very flexible and respected. Camilo was so lovely and welcoming, he was always down to hang out and do something fun together! We cooked Chilean food together, hiked to an incredible quartz, went to Pisco Elqui and vicuña, and did a pisco tasting! The food was super generous, definitely enough, and he even bought us a bunch of drinks and ice cream when we went out! We will miss you Camilo!!! (We are a queer/trans couple and we felt totally welcome!)

My only recommendation is to communicate well before going to a place, read reviews, talk to the host, and ask everything you need; honestly, my experience wasn't what I expected...the place is beautiful but there is a lot to improve. And also on the app's side, they couldn't validate my refund because they asked for written proofs of the inconveniences, which I really consider crazy. Well, I wish you luck and success in your volunteering.

Arawi is a very quiet place. We do garden cleaning, collecting twigs to clear the paths, removing grass and weeds, we paint tables and chairs and we also did some cleaning of some areas. The place is beautiful! It has a pool, a gym, a climbing wall, a river with a pool, and everything is available for the volunteers. There you can live the tranquil experience of the Elqui Valley.

It was a very good experience! The space where Camilo lives is beautiful, lots of nature to relax. The tasks are calm and respected. The location is almost at the end of the Elqui valley, so you are far from the noise of the city and the night sky is amazing…
