The lodge is an amazing place to volunteer at if you are looking to submerge yourself in nature. There are some beautiful hikes you can take yourself on and the surrounding jungle is perfect for exploring. The food is delicious and plentiful and there is an opportunity to work alongside the local mayan women which was a truly unique experience. The team who work at the lodge are friendly and chilled and the dogs are just gorgeous.

I've stayed in the lodge as a cooking volunteer for one month. My working schedule was as described, so I had 3 days off and then work for 4 days in row. It was a big advantage for me to speak spanish so that I could communicate easily with the kitchen staff. You definitely need to know how to cook, because you are coming up with the menu of the family style dinners and you will lead the kitchen. There is always one woman working with you, so you are never alone, but it is a lot of work with cleaning the dishes by hand and making dinner in busy season for 30+ people. I def learned a lot.

I honestly did love it here, definitely fully immersed in nature which has its ups and downs. The high points would be the tours that you can go on and meeting locals, one big low point was the mould that is in the dorm room that does eventually get to your clothes and bags. All volunteers have had the same problem and you can clean everything repeatedly but unfortunately the mould is inescapable I do wish I had known that to better prepare myself. Other than that i would recommend this experience as the actual hotel was really nice and the food they give you is amazing.

The lodge is a beautiful spot surrounded by the stunning nature of Semuc Champey, offering a peaceful atmosphere to connect with nature. I had a great time there, meeting wonderful people. However, if you're looking for a project focused on sustainability and social change, it might not meet those expectations, as it seems to operate more like a traditional hotel. Also the volunteer agreement specifies 30hrs per week, but the workload can sometimes exceed that (37hrs) if there are not enough volunteers. Female travelers should also be aware that some local workers may catcall on a daily basis.

The lodge is set in a beautiful tropical forest, is a special place to get close to nature and meet international travelers. The weather varied quite a bit when I was there so it's nice to bring layers to be prepared but when the sun shone the place really lit up and a walk down to the river is a must. My time there was made really great with the other volunteers as we played games, hung out by the fire and walked to other nearby hostels. If you are staying at the lodge you will have a lot of downtime.

Mi experiencia en Utipia fue hermosa, un lugar para conectarse con la naturaleza y tu interior, el río en días cálidos es perfecto, las tareas del bar son sencillas, siempre hay algo que hacer, no se peguen en el teléfono 😅 muy agradecida de Pia, y los manager, Mario, Raquel y Belen, son máximos 🤍 , y de las canak de la cocina gracias por sus ricas comidas de siempre, las llevo en mi corazón, también manchis , anaguan y domingo de la gran manada 😍 , hasta una próxima 🥳🙏🏽

La experiencia en utopía fue increíble!! 🤩 Estar inmerso en la naturaleza, durante 6 semanas fue un detox de muchas cosas externas que a veces nos andan trayendo “waxiru” jajajaj (locos). Pia, Raquel, Mario, Belén y todas las personas que trabajan son una tremenda familia, donde te harán sentir cómodo y en casa desde el día uno. Sin duda es un lugar que recomiendo totalmente, si buscas desconectarte, conocer la cultura, y estar inmerso en la naturaleza a cambio de horas de trabajo. Gracias por tanto familia utopía, son lo máximo!! 🤍

I'm so grateful I got to volunteer at the lodge! The people are amazing, the work is easy, and the nature is unbelievable. Be prepared for LOTS of insects, but it's def worth it and I'm a much braver person now. The Mayan women who work there are so funny and kind, it was an honor to get to know them. the lodge has a great vibe for relaxing in a hammock or by the river. I think a 4 week stay is the perfect amount of time to volunteer for. Pia & the managers are very flexible and understanding of your needs. Thank you to the whole the lodge team (& Munchies) for making my time with you so special xoxoxo
