Description
We are friendly owners who try to do our best to make people happy. The hostel is a set of 9 bungalows with thatched rooftops spread across our jungle like tropical garden and a little pool right in the middle. Our beautiful deck overlooking the ocean surrounded by nature is perfect to see the daily sunset and chill out on one of our many hammocks, it is also our popular yoga studio, we offer classes everyday.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is a place where many internationals come to enjoy the natural life, it's a small town but filled with great energy, you will be able to meet people from all over the world and exchange cultural experiences, interact with our local staff, receptionist, house keeping and one of the owners are Mexican, some of them don't speak english so you'll have a chance to practice your Spanish skills. You will also meet the locals and learn about the Mexican culture, they are great loving people. Surfing is one of the biggest activities to do in Puerto, it's one of the most important surfing spots in the world.
Help
We need help with the general running of the hostel in different areas such as reception, bar, common areas, helping welcome the guests and make their stay special and unique. Some outdoor gardening maintenance may be required.
We are a resting hostel, meant to relax and reconnect with the natural environment around us, we are not a party hostel. We request serious people that want to experience the cultural exchange with our local staff and learn about the Mexican culture. We don't have facilities to host couples, we apologize. The time requested is minimum two months of stay and the hours are up to 25 hrs a week, may be less. We provide one meal a day.

What else ...
Nice hostel 100m from the Beach in Puerto Escondido located in between La Punta and main Zicatela beach.
Local Markets are near by, you'll find fresh produce at super affordable prices. Most of the interest places in la Punta are within walking distance, but Public Colectivos run along the main road so you can visit other parts of town.
Yoga classes have discount price for volunteers (teachers have to make a living out of teaching and are not part of our Staff).
You will have free access to all the facilities, pool and terrace, free wi-fi, bed linen and towels, private room and bathroom and shared kitchen.
We only have 2 positions open for volunteers.

Before we closed the doors to the hostel, I helped in the restaurant/bar serving customers, checking guests in and out of the hostel and kept an eye on the place during the quiet times. After shutting down for quarantine I spent a lot of time reading on the terrace… read more
