Kevin was helpful from the beginning; eager to show us local food spots, help us get groceries, climb the volcano with us, and even when I got very sick, he took me to the hospital! He’s fun to be around and flexible/understanding. What stood out most was the cultural exchange. He also works (transport), so there are days when he is only present for one meal, but in that time you get to know your fellow 1-2 other volunteers, the cats, and his brother who comes by during the day to eat:). for a more coffee focus, come in jan/feb; summer is more household work. 1000% recommend this experience!!

Kevin is very nice, smiling and ready to help whenever you need. The house is a little rustic but you'll have everything you can need. It's a good place if you are looking for peace, calm, and take a break from work or cities. I stayed only 3 days so I didn't da lot, just washing the floor, water the plant, peel and sort the coffee.

Volunteering at Kevin's was a great experience. Since I was there in January, we spent a few days on his coffee farm (from where you can watch Acatenango). The rest of the time we spent in his family's florist or small garden.
Although San Antonio is a small town, Kevin makes sure you have the best time there. During my 2 weeks stay he took me on a nice hike and we did Acatenango hike overnight together. Despite me not speaking Spanish it was still a great experience and I'm sure would have been even better if I did. I'm very happy that I've volunteered at this particular place in Guatemala.

Staying with Kevin was an amazing experience! The town is small but right next to Antigua and it has a really nice local vibe. The coffee farm is beautiful and in walking distance from the house and honestly I could stay there for hours. Learning about the coffee production process was really fun to me and Kevin was an amazing and generous host. This project is also amazing if you like being close to nature, as you have lots of hiking options around. Watching the volcano at night is also a very unique experience! Definitely recommend this project:)

I had a truly wonderful experience volunteering at this coffee farm. The family was incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous with their time and knowledge. From the first day, they made us feel like part of their home, sharing not only their work but also their culture and daily life. The work on the finca was rewarding and gave us a real insight into the process of coffee production. I'm so grateful for this opportunity and for the warmth and hospitality of this amazing family. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a meaningful and authentic experience!

The two weeks I spent with Kevin were amazing! He is such a nice, fun and accomoditating host. It was too early to collect the coffee beans so we did some gardening (which is so soothing) and we separated the bean from the shells from the coffee harvest of the previous year. We cooked together and made some hikes in the beautiful nature around. It's such a relaxing experience and Kevin really cares about making his volunteers feel at home. 100% recommend spending some time with him.

The work is very simple, it can be anything from helping at Kevin's home to garden work when there's no work at the coffee farm. The working hours varies, but can be discussed. The town itself is very small but charming, the bus ride to Antigua is around 20 min. The house is very primitive, but with great people around, Kevin and his family are one of the most generous people I've ever met! <3

I loved my stay with Kevin & his family! I felt so welcomed and comfortable (especially as a solo female traveller & being the only volunteer there at the time!😊) The work was enjoyable and easy, I stayed here outside of coffee season so my days involved plant watering, cleaning the floors & I also helped out a little at his sisters plant store! On my day off we went on a sunrise and waterfall hike which was amazing!! Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience Guatemalan culture & practice their Spanglish ;) ☺️☺️

Kevin and the whole family are super friendly and I felt at home instantly. Kevin made breakfast and we had a slow morning before starting the tasks of the day. Lunch was alsways at his sisters house which is also a plant store. The food was very good and I enjoyed spending some time with the family and the small kids. All in all it was a fun but calm week filled with a lot of nature, good talks, paternas, macadamia tree planting and a beautiful sunrise hike.

Depending on whether it is coffee season or not, you help on the coffee finca or with their plant business, but kevin always made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing & super flexible when it came to working hours! In addition to getting to know the cute pueblo in the mountains, you're also a part of their family:) Kevin is very understanding, open minded, patient & always happy to recommend activities or places nearby & depending on his own workload to even come along! not my first, but definitely my best worldpackers project so far😌
