I had a wonderful time at trece cielos! Tom, Iulia and also the lovely local girls working in the kitchen create an amazing atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the beautiful Lake Atitlán. This is not just a café, it’s a community hotspot and the most amazing place to meet beautiful people. The work is clear - and honestly really fun - and after your shift you can take a little break from the buzz in your own private room. Just one warning if you choose to volunteer here, you might not want to leave anymore (and develop a slight cacao addiction ;))

I couldnt reccomend this experience more to travellers who are looking for a social but still slow paced volunteer experience !! Tom has created a magical space within this café that provides a safe haven felt by everyone, whether guest or volunteer- the beauty of this place is a nonstop topic of conversation - the warmth and kindness tom also provides to every person who comes into this space is something i will remember for a lifetime. MUCH much love to our kitchen girls as well- jacinta,lucia & cruz, who are some of the most sweet and curious (even if shy) local girls ❤️

Hola,
este proyecto me encantó! El café está situado cerca de la orilla del lago y decorado hermoso. El trabajo está tan justo y recreativo. Se puede hablar con linda y interesante gente, sobre todo viajeros. Atitlán está rodeado de bonitos pueblos que se pueda visitar. Todo el tiempo me sentí muy cómoda. Además se tiene su propia habitación y hay apoyo y consejo si los buscas. Los días con Tom y las otras del equipo estaban llenas de buenas risas! Recomendado 💯!

I have trouble finding any words that can reflect even the tiniest bit of what this place, and Tom in particular, has ment to me. After travelling through Latin America for 10 months, this has been the absolute best experience I ever had. Coming to Trece Cielos was like coming home. And meeting Tom was like meeting family. This cafe is so much more that just a cafe - it is the anchor of the whole community. I could write a whole book and words would still not be enough to tell you how much I recommend you to apply for volonteering at this café. Tom - I love you, thank you for everything.
