Beschreibung
We are a German-Chilean family running a small, independent Bed & Breakfast. We live, work and play in Punta Arenas and our surroundings in Southern Chilean Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego.
Originally, we started our business as a local tour operator focusing on adventure and nature travel, where we gained years of experience organizing and running tours throughout the Southern tip of Chile and Argentina.
Although we still have plenty of first-hand experience and inside knowledge when it comes to traveling in Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego, we now prefer to focus on our small hostel (currently 5 double rooms and 1 six-person dorm, hence 16 beds total) and share this knowledge in a different way than before - that especially includes way less e-mails/screen-time and way more face-to-face conversation! -

Arbeit
Your tasks include doing pretty much everything from help cleaning the beds/ rooms, bathrooms (although we have full time staff for cleaning), check-in & out to running the front desk. We organize tours and help our guests with information and tour planning. Non of this is particularly difficult, but requires dedication to the magical world of hostel life. This position is very fun and extremely rewarding, but hostel work is also challenging: you've got to have a smile on every single day!
Besides the normal tasks in the hostel there is a lot of other things to do in our house.
It's helpful if you:
- speak German and English and some Spanish would be useful too
- are open-minded and enjoy working with people
- have creative ideas
- have experience working in hostels
Minimum stay should be 3 weeks - longer preferred. -

Unterkunft
We have space for one volunteer in a very simple, warm and clean room in the backyard. We like to refer to it as the "cabaña", the cabin.
Free breakfast, lunch, laundry and Wi-Fi . -
Was noch ...
On the free time, we will drive to the volunteers to discover the main atractions in town and surrounding.
We will also talk about the last trek at the end of the American Continent, a real adventure in Patagonia! -
