  Description

  I have started an ecotourism project, which offers the service of rural wooden cabins equipped in the middle of nature. I have two local workers and I would like to know if some workawayers are interested to visit my project. My place is located in Huehuetenando Department, 240 kms from Guatemala City, close to Mexico border. I am planning to expand the project and improve some aeas like reforest and gardening. I would be happy to hear from to plan activities together on the next months. Thank you.
