In Antigua your homestay in a private room is thoroughly vetted with regular feedback and inspections. It is centrally located, provides 3 meals daily and always hosts two or more guests. You also have access to a ‘Social Enterprise Hub’ operated by Cambio/Niño’s de Guatemala with a help desk open during normal office hours providing program support and ideas how to enjoy your free time. This is where Spanish lessons are taken and free weekly cultural activities.

Even outside the sea turtle nesting & hatching season - which runs from approximately June to January... there is still lots of work to do at the sea turtle hatchery preparing/cleaning the 300 x 3 (900 total) nesting sites and looking after the welfare of other animals looked after here.
