Description
WE COMING BACK AFTER LONG TIME!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! I'm Javier and I have a little but busy hostel in the centre of Puerto Natales.
We are settled near the bus station to go to the National Park and you can also visit many places around here (like Cueva de Milodon, Laguna Sofia, Cerro Benitez, Cerro Dorotea...).
We need two different kind of help. It depends from the season:
FROM SEPTEMBER TO MAY: We need somebody to work at reception and is looking for a long term stay in Patagonia. Ideally for the whole season. September to may. We need someone who can speak both english and spanish. If you have some experience working at a hotel or hostel it would be perfect. Also if you studied a carrer related to tourism and want to do an internship job we are open to receive you.
At the hostel we have two mixed dormitory, three double room and a little apartment in a boat settled in the garden. We can host 24 guests. You can also sell some tours or rent some equipment for Torre del Paine. You will never be bored..
Once a week or when we need you can also do the cleaning of the rooms, or of the shared kitchen because our charwoman need rest sometimes :-).
FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER: We need help with maintenance of the building and we need someone that wants to use the hands. It is better to have some knowledge about maintenance, but I can also give all the information about painting, working with wood or something like this.
