Living at the guest house and working in Poptun will always have a special place in my heart. There was a lot of creative freedom in the role. Living here is a rustic experience in the middle of the forest, so being prepared for that helps. The wifi wasn't available in specific places but the hotel is currently updating it. Come with a lot of insect repellent and anti-itch meds as the mosquitoes are always there! As a photographer, I was able to come up with news ways to tell Finca's story and will come back again so I'd recommend it :)

I had a fantastic stay at the guest house, your stay will really take you back to nature. The hours and days off were all as agreed, I had a lovely private room and a shared bathroom. The horses were so sweet and I loved every minute of working with them. They took me to see the caves one day and they were stunning.

My time at the guest house was a truly incredible experience. For my first volunteer position I did not know what quite to expect but this placement has given me a lot of confidence to volunteer in the future. I want to highlight above all else just how incredible the people at Finca are. I had minimal experience with the Spanish language, but everybody was so patient while I struggled to explain what I wanted to say! I will miss the friends I made - we had a lot of fun, and hope to go back one day!

Working at the Finca was truly a really great experience. If you are really into living in the jungle and learning how to problem solve around power outages then this is perfect. It really felt like a home away from home. One tip I would say is to use google translate if you don't know Spanish or try to learn a bit before hand because almost all the staff just speak Spanish. The food they provide to cook with was always fresh and I never felt nervous to ask for a favor or ask about the culture in Guatemala. I will truly miss all the staff at finca they were wonderful.

I couldn't have asked for more! The finca is a magical place, totally surrounded by nature. I had my own cabin and you can choose from the food they have and cook yourself whatever you want. The hours where a little different from what they said on Worldpackers. In total I was working 36h a week, but I didn't mind at all because I loved the work environment and the people I was working with. I got to improve my Spanish a lot, because not many people speak English. They are really nice and are patient with you if your Spanish is not that good yet. I definitely recommend the Finca!

Estuve en la casa por dos meses en el área de marketing y fotografía, fué una muy buena experiencia, pude desarrollar mis habilidades y conocer tanto locales como viajeros de todo el mundo. La cabaña que me tocó era cómoda pero no servía la regadera y solo había internet en el restaurante. Tuve un accidente y pase más de una semana en muletas, los trabajadores de la finca se portaron excelente conmigo, me hicieron de comer, me llevaron al hospital y me hicieron compañía. El trabajo es razonable y los horarios flexibles. Ideal para personas proactivas sin miedo a la naturaleza.

La casa es un gran lugar y la gente aún mejor, todos siempre dispuestos a ayudar y pendientes. El lugar para dormir es muy acogedor. La comida es rica pero debe prepararla uno mismo y hay restricciones sobre algunos alimentos. Hice el voluntariado con mi hijo y los demás trabajadores fueron muy atentos con él. María y Carole son muy buenas anfitrionas, súper recomendado

This experience is very different to what is described on here. 36hrs per week not 30, 1 day off not 2. 3 meals a day is really access to the kitchen and use of SOME things there. We found a note asking us not to eat the apples after we had one. There are rules like only 1 avacado per week etc. Room was the smallest on the property, 2 single beds & when the lower bed was out it filled the floor space & door couldn't open so getting out for toilet etc was a struggle. Not a fair exchange. When we voiced our concerns Maria said she would speak to us again, but disappeared for days instead👎

Realmente la pase muy bien, me sentí muy comodo. Las cosas claras desde el inicio hizo que no haya malos entendidos y generar un mal clima. Muy agradable el clima de la gente, siempre dispuestos a ayudarte, mas si tenes algun problema. Carole y su gente me hicieron sentir como un miembro mas de su gran familia y eso lo voy a agradecer eternamente. Gracias por todo. Quiero volver!
