Details on arrival
Every Monday, all year round. The Eco-Agriculture project is located just outside La Antigua. Travel time varies from day to day, but participants can expect to spend 15-30 minutes traveling each way, by either walking or using local buses, taxis or a “tuk-tuk” (3-wheeled motorcycle taxi). For the first visit to the project, volunteers are taken by a Maximo Nivel representative using the local transport and given additional information about what transport to take. Local bus rides are very affordable and a one way trip will rarely cost more than Q8 (about $1). Taxis & tuk-tuks cost approximately Q10 to Q30 (about US$1.20 to US$3.50) one way within Antigua.
