Description
Our hostel wishing to boost the touristic activity in the north of Arica. Located in Villa Frontera (Gallinazo or Chacalluta), 10km away from the city center but close to the beach (NOT WALKABLE DISTANCE FOR SURFSPOTS, WE COULD LEND YOU A BIKE :). Owned by 'Ariqueña' surfer family, so we can show you this local lifestyle and introduce you local people!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Arica is a highly cultural place, theres a coexistance of different communities: aymara, quecha, afro, peruvian, chilean. There are frequent andine festivities to go, the biggest one the carnival "Con la Fuerza del Sol". We have the oldest mummies in the world, from Chinchorro culture, you can visit them in different touristic spots. From our close friends you can learn about local surfers life and how it has been growing the last 10 years, turning Arica the city with more national surf champions (Yeah, a lot more than Pichilemu!). Our dry and sunny days make Arica a perfect spot to enjoy the beaches in the day and to observe the sky at nights!
Aide
The main we need is a very sociable person willing to help in out high season (until the end of March). Main help needed is making beds, cleaning, painting, basic carpentry and probably some basic building. Minimum stays are for 2 weeks, though the longer the stay the better.
Besides that, for our maintenance tasks we prefer carpenteers for helping with recycled pallets, painting and photographers to help us with our digital marketing strategy. All the volunteers need to help with the cleaning. If you have artistic talents to make our day to day living better u are welcome to !Langues

We have a private room for the two volunteers staying longer and a shared room for shorter stays. You will be provided with a basic food basket and total use of the facillities of the hostel: kitchens, bathrooms, swimming pool, barbeque places and entertaining zones. We could provide surf lessons or take you to enjoy the beach depending on the season.
Autres infos...
To get to the Surfcamp there is NO LONGER public transport (after COVID) but Uber works well. We have a bike for volunteers and I can give you rides to the beach or to the centre whenever I can !

Besides that, he ended up building 4 high chairs, 2 benches and small tables (all from pallets). His excellent and detailed woodworking also defines his commitment to the wellnes of his workmates and the hostel. He was… read more
This was my first Workaway and it will be hard to top. I spent about 6 weeks at the surf camp building furniture and helping out generally with upkeep (I originally planned to only stay 2 weeks).
