We are looking for a volunteer with a good level of English to help the host improve their English through one-on-one lessons, conversation, and practical exercises. The teaching method primarily involves a tour of Chichicastenango, visiting the most attractive and interesting places, including the host's ecological reserve. This will allow for conversations on various topics and an exchange of thoughts and ideas, making the learning and teaching process more enjoyable. Since the teaching is very interactive, we can offer the volunteer the tour itself, including all its tourist attractions, as a reward. You will learn about the culture, customs, art, worldview, traditional foods, music, and much more. The host also provides accommodation camping and breakfast on Sundays, the host also offers admission to the local archaeology museum. Any other privately owned places of interest that have an entrance fee and that the volunteer wishes to visit will be at their own expense and can be conveniently visited in their free time after their volunteer hours have ended.
In the night you will be able to listen to the harmless nocturnal wildlife that inhabits this preserved forest and the songs of various birds at dawn.
