Los Amigos Hostel
First a little bit about Flores Island! The picturesque island of Flores is the capital city of the most northern department of Guatemala:the jungly Petén.
The colonial island is located in the beautiful Lake Petén Itza.For many tourists, the main reason to visit Flores is its proximity to Tikal, the most famous Mayan ruins in Guatemala, which are just a one hour drive away.
Nowadays Flores is a true backpacker hotspot. How could it not be? A lake that’s always the perfect temperature, lush jungle all around and the most beautiful sunsets ever.
All in all, Flores is definitely one of the most tranquilo and safe places in Guatemala
We are very proud of our diverse team, made up of young and older people, all of them 100% local. The Los Amigos staff counts approximate 50 beautiful souls that you will be working closely with. Talking about a full cultural immersion! We are a very friendly family ! the jokes and nick names will not miss it ! you will invite to joing to parties and visit to different places around and for sure you will improve your spanish, You will be one of us !

Me gustó mucho mi experiencia en Los amigos, por la comida, ubicación y respetar las labores acordadas, la Isla Flores es muy bonita y tranquila, dentro del voluntariado hay muchas opciones de poder generar dinero para continuar tu viaje y eso es un plus a comparación con otros voluntariados, yo enseñé yoga y tuve mi espacio y soporte de todos para realizar mis clases, es muy fácil ser amigos de todos, las vibras son positivas y las personas que trabajan ahí son muy felices y eso agrada mucho a la hora de convivir aquí. Tendrás mucha ayuda y comprensión

Overall had a good time volunteering at los amigos everyone was friendly and helpful I mainly worked in the garden bar which was a great place to work. I am vegan and they were accomodating of this just make sure to be clear to kitchen staff when you order your dinner. Make sure to check your room has AC as it’s hot in Flores!

El hostal los amigos fue una experiencia hermosa. Todo el staff es un amor, la comida es deliciosa, un ambiente fiestero pero relajado en el día. La verdad estoy sumamente agradecida por la hospitalidad que me brindaron y espero volver algún día. Muchas gracias ❤️

My four weeks at Los Amigos were far more than I expected in the best way possible. Teaching yoga in the mornings and working reception in the evenings was the perfect schedule for me. The volunteer house is separate from the hostel which allows the volunteers to really bond and get to know each other well. Meals are delicious and be sure to do all the tours you can with the discounts.
Heads up: Learn/practice as much Spanish as you can before you arrive and bring LOTS of mosquito repellent as there’s many in Flores.
Muchas gracias! <3
