I'm so greatful for my time at the lodge. Go there with an open mind and you will be amazed by what you can learn from everyone there. Each person taught me something different and the land it's self taught me so much. There is something magic about the lodge and I truly hope to return some day soon. I can't say it will be the same for everyone, but for me it was perfect. I miss everyone and the doggos so much.

The lodge is a wonderful place, they really have good goals and they work with the Mayan q'eqchi' community in an amazing way. I enjoyed my stay in here, you get full immersion with nature and have plenty opportunities to learn about sustainability. Luis and Carlos were amazing hosts and even tho I spend much time alone it was a good balance between connecting with nature, myself and the community. Thanks for this experience!
