I LOVE THIS HOSTEL! The staff and owner, Sirce, are absolutely incredible. My world packing experience was focused on working on the hostel's social media and update the website. Sirce gave me full flexibility to create my own schedule, which is perfect for this type of work and was super open to learning so that she can continue the work once I left. The vibe is the hostel is really great, they make you feel like family. <3 Puerto Varas is an awesome town to visit and would recommend this place to anyone.

This was my first experience traveling with Worlspackers. I loved the days I spent at the Vermont hostel, the people working at the hostel are very nice and caring, Sirce is a fantastic person! About the city of Puerto Varas, it is small so in a few days it is possible to know all the cool points that travelers are looking for, I believe that one week is enough.

El hostel es un hostel hermoso, Puerto Varas es bellisimo! Pasé unos dias muy lindos, conocí mucha gente y recorrí las zonas cercanas. La ubi del hostel es excelente, las tareas pueden ser cansadoras por momentos porque se hospeda mucha gente, pero no son dificiles. Y me divertí mucho con Manu y Elkin quienes trabajan allí, nos recibieron super bien y le ponian mucha onda a todo. Gracias!!
