Description
Live in one of the most beautiful cities of Mexico. UNESCO HERITAGE
Our hostel is set in a small and picturesque colonial building in the centre of Puebla. We pride ourselves on its chill and homely feeling, and the small, close knit team that work here. If your friendly, outgoing, and love to laugh you'll fit right in here. It'd also be a great opportunity for you to pracitise your Spanish!
Puebla is the perfect city to use as a base, away from the smog of the big city, but central enough to be accessible to the rest of the country (5hrs from Oaxaca, 2 hrs from CDMX, and 4 hrs from Veracruz). The city itself feels more like a small town with its beautiful colonial architecture and lack of high-rises.
We would welcome volunteers who are responsable and enthusiatic about sharing their travel experiences and helping out guests with our own. We also look for people who would like to bring their own unique skills to bear on the hostel. Whether you're a graphic designer, social media expert, or event organiser, let us know what you can bring to the table.
Please, if you can't stay with us for at least a month, don't apply. Thank you

A hard worker and friendly person. He performed excellently during his time in the Hostal.
A great asset with great knowledge in different languages. Skilled and kind in nature.
Too bad he couldn´t finish the four week period.
