    Description

    My mom owns a small but so special hotel, which has a coffee and restaurant. This project started nearly six years ago and she started by making some improvements and expanding the house she grew up. It has become a perfect place to spend the afternoon, chilling, and enjoying every corner which my mom has focused on making it look interesting, curious, cute or special. Surrounded by nature, it has become a little lung in the center of Cobán, the city of Alta Verapaz, a place which is filled with many places with natural beauties, Semuc Champey is probably the most popular attraction around the area and probably of Guatemala too :).
    She owns a Coffee Farm called Finca Chapultepec, this place has more than 100 years of family history, now my mother (the great-granddaughter) takes care of some areas and visits the place every once in a while, which you would get to go if you accompany us in this journey :).
    How can you help us?
    We need people to attend our customer in English or any other language. Give us some tips on how we can improve our business, the local people can bearly speak Spanish , they talk the native language - kek´chi, and because of the lack of education they dont know much about customer service. My mother travels a lot to the farm and the city and she needs always someone who she can trust and can help while she is absent.
    Also we do need follow up our clients´ satisfaction and promote us in social media and other rental platforms.

    What else ...

    Alta Verapaz in my opinion is the place in Guatemala that has the most natural beauties, everything is relatively close from one place to another, you can have moments full of adventure, and really get to experience what nature has to offer.
    Some of these are Semuc Champey, Lankin Caves (mytical Mayan underground entrance), Black water tubbing, bunging, rafting, canopy, horse back riding,daylife experience, orchid and coffee tours and living authentic experience of Mayan culture from the inside.
