Dettagli del programma

We at Lava Trails focus on operating high quality, overnight tours to the active Acateanango volcano!

As a volunteer, you would be assisting our hiking groups before and after their hike. You recieve them for breakfast in Antigua, join them on the bus to our supply center and you make sure they are fully geared and ready for the hike. After the hike, the next day, you are the friendly face welcoming them back to the supply center.

The tours itself are guided by professional local guides. You wont be a guide on our tours, more a community manager making sure everything runs smoothly and everybody feels seen and well prepared.
