Workaways joining us can get a lot out of their stay here. We offer a super experience, the opportunity to have some discounted and/or free tours, the possibility to learn about hostelling from an award-winning hostel (if you are interested!?), and a chance to make some good friends :) With our hostel being popular with a diverse range of international travellers there is a huge cultural exchange taking place and definitely the opportunity to practice either your Spanish or English!

There is so much to do during your time off as we are located in the adventure capital of Chile! Trekking, kayaking, swimming, lazing at the beach (lake beach), coffee/restaurant/bar hopping, skiing/snowboarding (winter only!). Plus the countless tours and activities like volcano climbing, rafting, hydrospeed, canyoning, horse riding, rock climbing, etc. You get the idea ;).
