I had a lovely the coliving at the coliving! Daniel and Alexxis are very kind and welcoming hosts, not to mention flexible and trusting with your work. Our main tasks were painting and gardening, as well as occasionally being responsible for guest check-in/outs and dogsitting Chucho, a very characterful and affectionate dog. Overall, straight-foward but rewarding work, which I had the pleasure to share with the great company of other volunteers! San Cristobal itself is a charming city and the hostel incredibly beautiful, inviting, and well-located. Would highly recommend ☺️

The experience was very good. Alexis and Daniel were welcoming and very grounded people, which made us feel comfortable far away from home. It is a lovely place to volunteer, and the tasks were easy to do. They trust in what you do so you have a lot of freedom.
If you want to learn about Mexican culture, Daniel is always ready to answer your questions.
We do definitely recommend this!⭐️

My experience in San Cristobal was amazing! I spent a wonderful time in this peaceful and beautiful place. Huge thanks to Alexxis for the warm welcome and to Chucho, the sweetest dog ever 🌞 The tasks are simple, well organized, and very meditative, especially the gardening. I also loved sharing this experience with another volunteer, Ana. The place is stunning, well located, and truly feels like a little haven of peace. I hope to come back to San Cristobal to discover more of Chiapas, and I would definitely return to the hostel, either as a volunteer or as a guest. Highly recommended! ✨🌿

My stay at the coliving was very warm and welcoming, I really felt comfortable at all times, Alexxis was always very attentive to us, I really appreciate that, we spent time together at breakfast, I enjoyed that a lot. The tasks are very simple, I did a bit of everything: gardening, making breakfast, painting, cleaning of common areas and bedrooms, among other things, every day there were different activities and that's what I liked as well, since thanks to that I was entertained and didn't get bored, I helped gladly, I hope to return and bring a gift to Chucho 🐶
