    Sobre o programa

    In Guatemala, the use of sustainable farming methods is increasing, however, sustainable farming does not come without a cost, as local farmers need more people to work in the field to maintain the best production they can. You will be working with local farmers just outside of the city of Antigua, where you learn about eco farming and volunteer on the coffee and macadamia nut farms.

    You will learn and provide assistance in every step of production, from growing, harvesting, and processing the crops and yield. Be prepared to put in some hard work on this manual project!

    Location
    Eco-Agriculture volunteers work in a farming community at the base of a volcano in the Guatemalan highlands. Work on farms just outside the city of Antigua, which was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. This is a popular tourist spot due to the pretty colonial buildings and ancient ruins. From the streets and rooftops, you can even see volcanoes towering over the city. Antigua’s Central Plaza has plenty of restaurants, shops, markets, and regular cultural events, making it an exciting city to call home.

    Tikal Ruins
    These Mayan ruins are set amidst the jungle of northern Guatemala and close to the borders between Belize and Mexico. The incredible ruins are a little hard to get to but have a spectacular backdrop. The ruins used to be one of the most influential cities in the Mayan empire.

    Semuc Champey Pools
    Another destination a little hard to get to (think long and windy bus ride) but definitely worth it for the incredibly blue pools of water you will find here, all surrounded by Guatemalan jungle. You can go swimming in the pools too!

    Acitve Volcanoes
    Pacaya, Santiaguito and Fuego are active volcanoes which visitors can climb up. These 3 are still active but Guatemala also has 37 volcanoes dotted around the country. If you love hiking, then make sure to try one of these treks for spectacular views.

    Lake Atitlan
    Lake Atitlan is a place where you can easily spend several days. This pretty lake has the backdrop of volcanoes and pretty wildflowers around the edge of the water. There are lots of small towns around the lake to explore, or you could simply relax by the sparling water or try SUP and kayaking.

    Indian Nose Hike
    This is a spectacular viewpoint which will only take around a 45 minutes climb. Situated close to San Pedro, this mountain is known for incredible sunrises, but we would recommend going with a tour group for this, for safety reasons.
