OX Expeditions

Easy job, great location, SUPER DISCOUNTED VOLCANO TOURS, & nice team. We are centrally located and this work exchange will give you plenty of time to explore this ancient city.

Working in our office we have our reception staff, guides, guide manager, office manager and cook though there are often only 2 or 3 people in the office daily. The staff is nice and helpful and you can spend as much or as little time interacting with us as you want outside of your shifts. We are all willing to help with showing the ropes and telling you about all the great things to do in Antigua, Guatemala. Accommodations are humble and we are always open to volunteers willing to help improve things, however, that's why we keep the working hours minimal. Volunteers get to live alone in the space located right in the heart of Antigua and are responsible for keeping things clean and tidy. I am the office manager, Kelsey and have lived in Guatemala for 4 years and am excited to tell you about life here. Send me a whatsapp for faster responses! +17739699662 US number

This was our first experience volunteering and we absolutely loved it! Ox Expeditions gives you easy manageable work and the expectations are very clear from the start. Kelsey is very approachable and helpful - she responds to WhatsApp messages quickly and appreciates your efforts. Whilst in Antigua you can do so many fun things with your free time such as visit Hobbitenango, go to museums and hike. The people we meet here will be our friends for life - the age range of volunteers was perfect for us. There’s so much nightlife in Antigua to enjoy!

It was amazing. The work was simple and the hours were respected. There was good communication between staff and volunteers. Getting to do the free volcano tours was such a treat. I fully recommend to anyone considering the position

I honestly don't know what to do add here that hasn't already been said by other Worldpackers but OX is a sensational place to stay! Antigua is a beautiful city, all of the other volunteers made working and social hours so much fun and Kelsey is a very flexible host! It goes without saying that the highlight was the hike to Fuego, reaching the summit and seeing the volcano erupt regularly was outstanding but it was very enjoyable seeing other visitors return from their hikes and seeing what they made of the experience too, I highly recommend OX!

I had an amazing time volunteering at OX! The hosts were friendly, supportive, and clear with communication. The tasks were fair and well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The space is clean and comfortable, and I loved connecting with other volunteers. I also had plenty of free time to explore.
