Utopia Eco Hotel

We're located about 285 Km from Guatemala City. 11 Km from Lanquin and in the Valley of Semuc Champey approx. 3.5 Km from Semuc Champey National Park, one of Guatemala’s hidden treasures. We have about 220 meters of River Frontage along the Cahabón River.
Here is where you will be able to do as much or as little as you like. We are a Family Friendly, Dog Friendly Eco Hotel with a vegetarian Restaurant. Situated on the Cahabón River, which is great for tubing or just relaxing on one of the large river rocks or take a short stroll down the path to the big swimming hole. You will find your home away from home nestled amongst exotic flora and fauna with at least 90 different species of birds to watch while your strolling along the many paths that have been cut though the wild flowers, coffee and cocoa trees. Utopia offers unique natural lodge style accommodation with custom one of a kind art work and furnishing.

You will be living in a remote place in the jungle with a handful of other volunteers, the management and a dozen local workers from the surrounding mayan villages. The atmosphere between the staff is very familiar. Every volunteer gets the chance to put his ideas into the steadily growing Utopia. You can put yourself into it as much or as little as you like. Feel free to participate in gardening, yoga, sports, hiking and many more...

Had a wonderful time living here and coaching yoga for 4 weeks! It was lots of fun to eat and hang out with the other volunteers and travelers. my room was comfortable and cozy, it's right next to the yoga shala which was really nice. The food is great, it was really amazing to have three fully prepared meals every day—you don't have to ever prepare it yourself, even lunch, which in my experience is rare for volunteers at other places. And it was a really great place to focus on projects for most of the day because you have so much time to yourself. very grateful I got to stay here for a month

I was there for 3 months, the nature is INCREDIBLY beautiful (the best part), and I had so much fun exploring it with others! However, nearest town is 30 minutes away w/ limited stores, so bring essentials like sunscreen, contact solution, etc. At our first meeting, Pia touched my braids and asked how much was my real hair. Tour guide Ronaldo catcalled me several times & a female guest told me he made her uncomfortable during tubing. Dani and Jake often made uncomfortable jokes about women. Great for nature lovers looking to reconnect with themselves, but I wouldn't stay longer than a month.

Can be a great place to be in the beautiful and quiet nature if you wanna be with yourself.

The place was pretty beautiful and remote area, which I needed time to adapt but I loved it at the end! I did yoga class and chocolate tour for volunteering and I was happy to do that! The food was delicious and other volunteers and people work there were also very nice. I would definitely recommend and would love to comeback!

Definitely recommend volunteering with the lodge. The people that live and work for the lodge are so incredibly kind and welcoming. Tasks are clear, accommodation is comfortable, food is delicious, and the lodge is located in a beautiful area. You are not very close to any major city so make sure you are ready for an isolated jungle experience! So grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone that loves nature and a very slow pace of life.
