The experience

¡Hola! We’re two French travelers running a small, friendly hostel near Flores. Our place also includes a restaurant and a small tour operation. Once a week, we organize a community clean-up with local kids — collecting trash, sharing cake, and teaching a bit of French or English. 🧁 This activity is free for them and brings lots of smiles! We’re just a short walk from the beach and the peaceful lakeside. 🌅
