Detalhes

Descrição
We just opened a new 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 ! Owned by a classic 'Ariqueña' surfer family, so if you want to learn to surf or to live this local lifestyle this is the place for you!

I have an hydraulics and environmental engineer degree so I'm wishing to get a good team of conscious people to work with. The projection of the hostel is to be sustainable in solar energy, organic food, good use of well water and reciclying. We want to show local people that sustainability is posible !

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
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!
Ajuda
The main we need is a very sociable person willing to work in out high season, probably most of the time boosting our bar and making entertainment activities for our guests. Minimum stays are for 2 weeks, though the longer the stay the better. We expect a funny person to join our solid summer team.

Besides that, for our maintenance tasks we prefer carpenteers for working with recycled pallets and artists to paint murals. 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 !

Trabajé principalmente pintando pared,puertas y teto, también hay que hacer un poco de limpieza,pero es tranquilo y dividido entre todos los voluntarios.Ademas para las personas que les gustan hacer arte, hay mucho material y espacio para dejar su marca en este espacio genial.Algo que me gusto es que hay dos piezas exclusiva para los voluntarios.Pasé buenos momentos en este lugar, siempre cocinábamos juntos,salimos para conocer la ciudad o pasar el día en la playa y hicimos el famoso assado chileño también.Para dejar esa experiencia más especial, tiene dos perros lindos Pulga y Surf que viven en el hostal y son muy cariñosos.O que más me gusto en esa experiencia, después de las personas geniais que conocí, fue las clases de surf hecha por Antônio que es un óptimo maestro. Arica definitivamente es la ciudad perfecta para aprender a surfear o praticar más, ademas de ser linda y tener mucho o que hacer y conocer.Quiero volver pronto! Gracias por todo Antonio y Juanjo! Fue re lindo este tiempo y guardaré con cariño todos los recuerdos en mi corazón.

Estive em sitio, por quatro semanas e me sinto sortuda de encontrar esse lugar no meu caminho, o ambiente é incrível. Sempre tem muitos voluntários para compartilhar, hóspedes bacanas, uma piscina grande, praia bonita perto, mini market ao lado e noites divertidas com violão e vinho. O trabalho geralmente é um turno que começa das nove da manhã e vai até as duas da tarde, muito tranquilo e explicado por Juanjo.Trabalhei principalmente pintando parede, porta e tetos, também é preciso ajudar na limpeza e essa tarefa é dividida entre todos os voluntários.Além disso, para as pessoas que gostam de arte, tem muito material disponível e espaço para deixar sua marca nesse espaço maravilhoso.Algo que eu gostei foi que os voluntários tem dois quartos exclusivos.Passei bons momentos neste lugar, sempre cozinhávamos juntos, saímos para conhecer a cidade ou passávamos o dia na praia, e também fizemos o famoso churrasco chileno. Para deixar essa experiência ainda mais especial tem dois cachorros lindos Pulga e Surf que vivem no hostel e são muito carinhosos. O que eu mais gostei dessa experiência, depois do fato de conhecer pessoas incríveis, foi as aulas de surf feitas por Antônio que é um excelente professor. Arica definitivamente é a cidade Ideal para quem gostaria aprender a surfar ou para praticar mais. Além de ser linda e ter muita coisa para fazer e conhecer. Quero voltar logo!

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Carina) para o anfitrião

Thanks Antonio for being a friendly and caring host! My time at your hostel allowed me to see some stunning wildlife at the nearby beach as well as meet the cutest stray dogs!

Summary: Relaxed place but no fixed work times/ times off (which works if more than 1 volunteer is there at the same time, but during the 1 week when I was the only… read more volunteer there => next to regular work I was on a kind of standby 12+ hours a day). "Property manager" Juanjo only speaks Spanish. Quite expensive to go to town.
I stayed 2 weeks (Dec. 2018/Jan. 2019). Left 2 days early due to reasons outlined below.

The atmosphere in this hostel is very relaxed and during my two-week-stay there were barely any guests (apparently the hostel is not properly open yet?) and as a result not much to do (cleaning floors/kitchen/bathrooms, washing windows, hoovering, doing dishes, making beds, checking people in, answering the doorbell etc.). Apart from guests, sometimes groups rent the place to hold a (pool) party and then it can get fairly noisy at night.
Antonio was friendly and helpful, but due to work commitments rarely around. Thus Juanjo was the go-to-person. He was on the property most of the time, ONLY spoke Spanish, and can best be described as friendly but quite the character. Unfortunately I barely speak Spanish so some communication issues arose.
Some people might prefer not having a fixed schedule but I would have prefered fixed working times and fixed times/days off. In my first week there where 2 other volunteers and it worked out well. My second week I was alone with Juanjo and apparently he thought that apart from the regular work I would be on standby 12+ hours a day. Whenever he thought of something, he told me to do it right this moment, no matter if it was 9am, 10pm, or if I was having a late afternoon nap. This combined with the cost for going to town to run errands was why I left 2 days early.

Property info:
Basic breakfast is provided: buns, butter, milk, cereal, soft cheese, jam. Volunteer accomodation is basic at the back of the hostel with concrete floors and there is no washing machine available. There are no lockers but my room had a key to lock it. Bring insect repellant or the mosquitos will eat you alive.
The property is large, has lots of shady outside space and a swimmingpool. The WiFi works well and two adorable dogs roam the property: a large one called Sorf and a 3 month old puppy called Polga.
There is a small corner grocery shop right next to the hostel (a bit expensive). The city is 10km away (a 1-way trip with UBER - which is the easiest provider - costs between 3000-6000 pesos) and the beach is 3km away. Walking to the beach takes some 40 minutes in the sun, but there is 1 bicycle available to use. There is a bird sanctuary at the beach so one can see thousands of seabirds there.

The last station of our trip was Arica - for this it was the best decision. The city and landscape landscape are romantic and beautiful , especially because you always are close to the ocean close + you still can feel the Peruvian and Bolivian influences. The city center is a little bit touristic but you won’t go there often since the hostel is… read more outside of the city. The eco surf camp is a great place! The house is big, cosy and has a nice terrace as well they have a pool! Secondly the atmosphere is great since the host Antonio and Juanjo are super sweet , open-minded, funny and we felt really welcome!! As well you always feel the beach /surf / palm trees / ocean vibes in the hostel which is great and creates a relaxed atmosphere. The work included a lot of things and depends on the time you are coming. We cleaned a lot, changed sheets and prepared breakfast; on the other side we painted a lot : the walls, but also pictures for the new bar . Because the hostel is still in progress we could bring some influence by painting, suggesting ideas or bringing in new systems for something or starting your own little project. The hostel isn’t always crowded , so you also have days where it’s just the volunteers and a few guests, which can be very cozy and and relaxing but you also have days with all rooms and beds full and still everybody is sitting together in the terrace and it’s always like a big family.
Additionally you always the chance to go surfing. Antonio started when he was a child and is a really good surfer with a sister which Is the best in Chile(!) so they can show you how to surf, the best places to go and can tell you all about the ocean. They do have some boards and wetsuits which you can rent.
The only disadvantage is the transport to the city center or the beach. There is no bus from the hostel but we always could handle it well. A minimarket is just in front of the hostel and you can try to hitchhike with people from the village. So if you have a own car or enough Money for taxis / uber there should be no problems, otherwise you have to be creative. But still you got everything you need close by, there even is a laundry on the other side of the street.
So all in all we spended a amazing time in this beautiful place with all this lovely people and recommend it to anyone who loves the beach, surfing , people and good vibes!

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). Every day was a bit different but normally the volunteers would start the day around 830 with some light cleaning and then dive into… read more their specific projects for about 5 hours. I finished a bar started by another workawayer and built bar stools, benches, and an end table out of recycled wood pallets. The camp has a workshop complete with all the tools you might need and Antonia and Juanjo gave me lots of creative flexibility to make the furniture my way. If you are self motivated and a hard worker you will thrive here. If you're looking for a free place to stay to practice your Spanish and laze around, find someplace else.

Besides the work itself, the highlight of this place is the amazing surfing. About twice per week we would load the van up with surf boards and wetsuits and head to the nearest good break for a couple hours of great waves. I arrived an amateur and left as a solidly intermediate surfer, thanks to Antonio's instruction and the small, consistent waves (they can get big though).

I didn't expect to make such good friends and lasting connections but I did and I will never forget the amazing people I met here. Thanks Antonio and Juanjo and my fellow volunteers Guille, Noemi, and Giulia. I hope to cross paths with all of you again some day.

ESP
Este fue mi primer Workaway y será difícil de tapar. Pasé cerca de 6 semanas en Surf Camp construyendo muebles y ayudando en general con el mantenimiento (originalmente plané sólo quedarme 2 semanas). Cada día era un poco diferente, pero normalmente los voluntarios comenzarían el día alrededor de 830 con un poco de limpieza ligera y luego sus proyectos específicos durante unas 5 horas. Terminé un bar iniciado por otro workawayer y construyo sillas de bar, bancos, y una mesa, todo de paletas de madera reciclada. El camp tiene un taller completo con todas las herramientas que pueda necesitar y Antonia y Juanjo me dieron mucha flexibilidad creativa para hacer los muebles a mi manera. Si usted es auto motivado y un trabajador duro vas a prosperar aquí. Si usted está buscando un lugar gratuito para alojarse para practicar su español y holgazanear, debes encontrar otro lugar.

Además del trabajo, lo mejor es el surfing. Alrededor de dos veces por semana nos cargamos el van con tablas de surf y trajes humedo y diríjase a la mejor ola más cercano para un par de horas de buenas olas. Llegué al camp un aficionado y se fue como un surfista sólidamente intermedio, gracias a la instrucción de Antonio y las olas pequeñas y consistentes (tambien pueden ser grandes)

No esperaba hacer tan buenos amigos y conexiones duraderas pero lo hice y nunca olvidaré que gente increíble. Gracias Antonio y Juanjo y mis compañeros voluntarios Guille, Noemi, y Giulia. Espero cruzar caminos con todos ustedes de nuevo algún día.
