Program Details
Itínera is a community project that seeks to create a space for meeting, learning and connection with the territory. Through volunteering, we invite people interested in becoming part of a community based on respect, collaboration and the exchange of knowledge. The objective is to build ties between people from different places and the cultural, natural and human roots of Mazunte, actively participating in the care and development of the space.
Volunteers are welcomed as part of the Itínera team, in an environment where they can learn new skills, share experiences and contribute to a living project. In exchange for their collaboration, we offer a yurt for one or two people, wifi, bathrooms, showers and the possibility to cook on site.
