    We have a space inside the house for volunteers to stay with beds, hammocks and bathroom. We also have a kitchen, pool and plenty of common areas in and out doors. The house has in addition, some cabins that often are available for volunteers to stay. Everyone buys, prepares food and cleans the kitchen.

    What else ...

    Even though El Zonte is known as a surf destination, there are mountains and rivers you can hike to and amazing people to meet. Also, the house is a three minutes walk from the beach. I like people that come and stay with us to be respectful to the culture and committed to justice and evironmental issues.
