  Description

  Hi there!! I am Nery, an engineer born in South America who grew up in La Antigua Guatemala. I am running a super chill hostel with cozy/homie vibes here at El Paredon Guatemala. I have previously lived in Venezuela, United States and Canada and now I am back in Guatemala. The team is always small but changes with time as it's me and my volunteers. We always make sure all guests feel like they are at a holiday beach house surrounded by friends!
