Description
Hey there! We're a backpacker hostel located right in center of Puerto Vallarta and one block from the beach. We love to entertain our guests! We like going on adventures during the day, and going for a night out on the town. We work hard and we play hard. We strive to make our place as clean and comfortable as possible, and love getting into projects and artwork. We host backpackers from all over the world, and we treasure the social time we spend with them. We are an LGBTQ friendly hostel.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Although Vallarta is a big tourist destination, it's still very much Mexico. The people are friendly, the food is fantastic, and the culture is rich.
It's also a great jumping off point for a lot of wonderful things to see and experience in this part of Mexico. It's an excellent place to immerse yourself & learn about the traditional Mexican lifestyle and culture. You will have plenty of time to explore, make memories, eat tacos, go to the beach, learn Spanish, see free, live entertainment, make friends, and much more. What are you waiting for?
Help
We are searching for open minded travelers who love meeting new people and can warmly welcome new guests.
Helping at reception means you will explain the rules, show them to their rooms, and help them get settled in. Speaking English is a must, and intermediate Spanish is necessary, you will definitely improve your Spanish while volunteering here
We will need help with cleaning. Generally, that will include help in bathrooms, common areas, laundry, and making beds for new arrivals. Occasionally, we may need help with ongoing art projects.
As a hostel, socializing with guests will be a requirement. We will ask that you take people on hikes, to the beautiful beaches in the Bay, for a fun on our rooftop bar or a night out on the town. Yep, you read that right! It is our goal to show our guests the way the locals do PV.
We spend some time to train new volunteers, please DO NOT apply If you have less than a month to stay here.

What else ...
Our location cannot be beat! The hostel is located in between the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the main square (adjacent to the city hall). We are also a block away from the main area of the Malecón: the seahorse statue and the outdoor amphitheater (right next to Los Arcos). We are located in the heart of Vallarta's downtown, just a few minutes away from the main beach, few steps from the Zona Romantica and a great variety of bars, art galleries, night clubs, restaurants. etc.
