This was my first time volunteering and it was amazing. I really love the tours, the city and the nature that I was exposed to. The tasks that you need to do are very simple and you have a good time for do your things.

Volunteering with Santiago was a brilliant experience, dogs were amazing and in addition to working at the shelter we also got to support some business development and artwork tasks, however Santiago made sure we were always comfortable. He was also committed to showing us the local culture and cuisine, and helping us advance our Spanish, he even ran a lesson for us and another guest!. Occasionally there was a lack of structure but this wasn't a problem for us, and they were grateful for our flexibility and patience. A great experience & we gained new friends from all over the world :)

Well well... what a mess!! First of all, the breakfast and dinner are not included as it's supposed to be. When i first arrived i had to buy my own grocery, one of the owner said that he will pay me back but it never happened and then an other owner play the card of : it was an error of worldpackers, nothing's included, anyway you work for us its not a free lil vacation and 20$ is not that much (which is not but is to simply respect what they offer in return of help). + that same owner was actually eating our food and never gave me back my shades. Oh and about the schedule, it is chaotic!

It has been quit an experience at the shelter! The first day we already found an abandoned puppy which we could luckily take home with us. After a week of giving him lots of food and love he really felt like home at the shelter and was everbody;s favorite. Also all the other are so sweet, if I could I would take them all home with me. The view of the Cotopaxi is amazing! And also the views you'll have during the walks with the dogs are stunning. If you love dogs and nature this is the place to be!
