The Experience

Regarding Worldpackers activities, we need people who can handle maintenance and reception tasks. Our preference is to cover the 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. shift, dividing the hours between the two volunteers. If there is only one volunteer, preferably cover the 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. shift (4 hours per day).

The experience was a 10/10. The hostel had everything described and a private bathroom just for staff, a beautiful place surrounded by mountains, we really enjoyed sunny days on the patio, Marie and her friend were super dedicated, and the hosts were amazing, truly a home away from home 🙌❣️ Thank you for the experience and the hospitality

My stay in the hostel was really lovely and suuuper chill. Tilcara is a beautiful place, there are several spots to explore and it's great to use as a base to reach farther places. The tasks are super easy and relaxed; I really had a lot of free time and I was very comfortable. Mari and Fabri were very calm, kind, and attentive to anything you needed. Thanks for having me!! :)

I highly recommend this experience; Tilcara is a beautiful place and it is a halfway point on the map to explore the quebrada. The hosts are excellent, very hospitable; since I arrived I felt very comfortable. The tasks are simple and the space is comfortable. It is a lovely family-run hostel and I made friends with other travelers who passed through here. Without a doubt one of the best volunteering experiences!

It was very nice to return to the hostel after two years… it’s a very quiet hostel, just like the activities to do there; Fabri and Mari are very attentive and very good people… thank you very much for the good vibes and for accepting me again as a volunteer.
