Description
Hi! I’m Gustavo, and I run a cozy and friendly guesthouse located in Punta Arenas, Chile, at the gateway to southern Chile. Our hostel welcomes travelers from all over the world who come to explore this unique region.
We offer a warm and peaceful atmosphere, with a focus on good hospitality, cleanliness, and creating a relaxed space where guests and volunteers feel at home.
Our team is small but very friendly — we like to share experiences, stories, and good moments together. Volunteers usually help with reception, cleaning, or interacting with guests, and in return, they get to enjoy a meaningful cultural exchange and the experience of living in the far south of Chile.
If you enjoy simple living and meeting people from different countries, you’ll love being part of our place!
