Francisco was so kind and welcoming from the minute that I arrived. He shared so much about his life and Mayan culture with me. He took me and my friend to Tikal and it was an amazing trip. His property is beautiful so I had so much time to relax.

We had the best time working and living at Franciscos place! The work was easy and interesting and we felt really welcomed. Francisco showed us all the cool local places around Flores, including the project ruines and he was the best tour guide! We recommend this project to 100 percent 🙌
