Pachamama Tours & Beyond Borders

Pachamama Tours is more than a tour agency—it’s a dream in motion. Every step we take up Acatenango Volcano, every sunrise we share, and every traveler we welcome brings us closer to something bigger: the rebirth of our nonprofit, Beyond Borders.

Beyond Borders will soon begin its work supporting local children, creating social programs, and, in time, offering spaces for mental health and psychology initiatives. It’s our way of giving back to the communities that have given us so much.

Right now, every tour we lead helps lay the foundation for this vision. When you travel with Pachamama, you’re not just hiking a volcano—you’re helping build hope for the people who need it most.

Join us on this journey—where adventure has a purpose, and every experience helps create a better tomorrow.

At Pachamama Tours and Hostel Esperanza, we are more than a team—we are a family that grows every day, working towards a self-sustaining future to reopen our nonprofit. Volunteers have always been at the heart of our journey, and each one has left a lasting impact with their dedication and support.

We understand that arriving in a new country can feel overwhelming, but here, you’ll find guidance, support, and a welcoming community from day one. Before your arrival, we coordinate a video call to introduce ourselves, go over our guidelines, and explain your tasks and schedule.

Once your dates are set, we provide three important documents to review and sign: a confidentiality agreement, child protection policy, and our terms and conditions.

About the experience in: Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala

It was my first volunteering experience and I think it was the right place; the work doesn’t feel like work, it’s just walking the dogs, which is very calming, and during the walk you can have nice views of the city. The way the staff treats you is also very pleasant from the first moment, really incredible.

I spent 3 wonderful weeks volunteering here. Jhonatan, Fernanda and the whole team are very kind, respectful and welcoming. I helped answer WhatsApp messages and assisted travelers with their the organization. I really enjoyed being part of the agency, meeting local people, trying delicious Guatemalan food, and getting to know the country. The place is lovely, the dogs are adorable and everyone made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I definitely recommend this experience 🇬🇹🩵

This is the second time I'm returning, and I hope there will be many more times ahead. 🫶

They are my home in Guatemala ✨ being with Jonathan, Fer, and the rest of the staff feels like being with your family; there is mutual support, and if you seek to connect, things will turn out better 💖
Taking care of the puppies is a simple activity but deeper than it seems; you have to take care of them and love them a lot, and if you manage to connect with the babies, you'll realize that their energy can guide you, each with their own distinct personality, they can teach you a lot.
I'm going to miss you all, I hope to see you soon. ✨✨
Thank you, thank you❤

Kaisla was absolutely wonderful! She has such a calm, peaceful, and kind energy, and that really showed in the way she cared for my puppies. She was gentle, patient, attentive, and treated them with so much love. I always felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands with her. She was also respectful, responsible, and simply a lovely person to have around. Highly recommended! ❤️🐶

At the organization I met people committed to the development of Antigua and its people, and that was really inspiring. The whole staff is incredibly kind, but I will always be especially grateful to Jonathan and Fer for everything they taught me and for making me feel at home.
The schedules allow you to enjoy Antigua and they also help you discover experiences in the surrounding areas. Thanks to the organization I did things I never imagined I would be capable of doing, I carry a lot of affection for the project 💞
