My experience at the lodge has been nothing short of transformative, nourishing, inspiring and rewarding. I immediately felt welcomed by the volunteers, community, and the family. the lodge grew to feel like home for me– I am so grateful for the deep immersion in mother nature, access to the river, and many local places to explore. the lodge has a unique essence that allows deeper connection to not only others, but to yourself. The work/life balance is one of the best I have ever experienced as a volunteer– the hours are fair, work is intentional, and rest is honored. Thank you the lodge🤍✨🌿

My stay at the lodge was nothing short of magical! I felt so welcomed immediately and the tasks were laid out clearly. As a volunteer I had plenty of free time to explore the area, swim in the river, and I even took local Spanish classes at the hotel (thanks Josúe!) and was able to practice and improve my Spanish a lot. It honestly felt like I had my little jungle family on this stay. Pia was a great host and always made the time a fun one! The trade is very fair and I always felt so cared for during my stay. This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was such an incredible time for me!

Honestly, a home away from home. From the start to finish it felt like a family. The most special humans, special animals , and special environment. You learn so much from everyone around you and share stories like friends forever. Treated like a guest off your shift and on haha ! But Pia and the rest of the team made sure you are comfortable and looked after all the time. A very special place in our hearts and anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beautiful jungle, no other place better. For us this was not a goodbye, but a see you again ! Xx

I arrived late at night and was welcomed with dinner (pizza night) and dessert (cake) and a table full of other volunteers who laughed and shared their stories with me as though I was already family! In the morning, I awoke to a beauty unparalleled: the jungles of Guatemala, the river, the birds, and peace! Pia, Mario, and all team of wonderful people that work at the lodge made me feel a part of a unit almost immediately. And the other volunteers: Julio, Sarah, Victor, Jacqueline, Jack, Alexa, Karla, and Hannah were a burst of pure joy. Family dinners with them were my absolute favorite!

I received a good introduction at the beginning and was able to settle in well. While working in the kitchen, I was constantly supported by the managers, which made communication easier. They were always available to answer questions. The relationship between what I received (food, accommodation, benefits) and the work I had to do was also very fair. I had a great time and felt very comfortable. It's a wonderful, transformative experience to be in this place, surrounded by nature.
