Dettagli del programma
Our volunteer program is an exchange: you contribute your time and energy to help us run our boutique hotel & hostel on Lake Atitlán, and in return you receive accommodation, community, and the chance to live in one of the most beautiful places in Guatemala.
Volunteers join our small team and support daily operations in reception, guest experience, bar/restaurant service, light cleaning, and activities. Tasks can include checking in guests, answering questions about the area, helping organize and host events, supporting yoga sessions, tours and activities, and helping keep common areas and rooms tidy (making beds, basic cleaning, etc.).
You’ll usually rotate between morning, afternoon, and/or evening shifts according to a schedule planned in advance, with fixed days off so you can explore the lake. We value responsibility, communication, and respect: in return, we offer a welcoming environment, a shared dorm bed, use of common areas, and the opportunity to connect with travelers and locals through genuine cultural exchange.
This is a place for people who enjoy nature, hospitality, and community life. We expect volunteers to arrive on time for their shifts, stay for the agreed minimum time, and bring a positive, proactive attitude to the team and our guests.
