Join our living lab in the heart of the Mayan Biosphere, Guatemala

  Descrição

  Hi, I’m Jon, part of the team at a jungle-based Living Lab located in the heart of the Petén forest, within the Mayan Biosphere region of Guatemala. We live and work on-site as a small, committed team, developing a long-term project focused on rewilding, community life and regenerative practices.
  
  The land is home to several interconnected initiatives, including a rewilding and land-restoration project, small-scale conservation efforts, creative and cultural activities, and the gradual development of shared spaces for retreats, gatherings and hosted experiences.
  
  Rather than a single activity, this place is an evolving ecosystem — a place where people, ideas and practices come together to regenerate land, host meaningful encounters and explore new ways of living in balance with nature.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are looking for grounded, proactive people to support our jungle-based Living Lab through a structured work-exchange rooted in rewilding, shared responsibility and community life.
  
  help can take different forms depending on your skills and experience. Current focus areas include:
  
  • Land & Agro / Permaculture Support – gardening, planting, composting, trail care, basic agroforestry work and maintaining shared natural spaces.
  • Property Host & Community Support – preparing and maintaining common areas, light kitchen support, small DIY projects, general upkeep, and assisting with the hosting of groups and small events.
  • Content Creation & Communication – photography, short-form video, social media support and helping develop simple communication or promotional materials aligned with our values.
  • Mobile Library Outreach (La Fantástica) – supporting rural community visits; experienced drivers may apply to help operate our manual transmission library bus on jungle roads.
  
  All roles are integrated into the life of the reserve. While each position has a primary focus, we value flexibility and collaboration. Creative skills are welcome, but the core of the exchange remains land restoration, responsible hosting and community support.
  
  This is not a resort-style volunteer experience — it is a living, evolving project where initiative, maturity and teamwork matter.

  Algo mais...

  On days off, Workawayers can rest, explore nearby towns, swim, read, write, create, or simply enjoy the jungle. The surrounding area offers a unique mix of nature, culture and history, including access to lakes, forest trails and nearby communities.
  
  Because of our remote location, we encourage people who enjoy calm environments, meaningful routines and intentional living. This is not a party place, but a space for learning, contribution and genuine exchange.

  - Yes, we are in a remote jungle area, so connectivity can be limited or slower than in cities. - While this is a living, natural environment with animals around, we have certain restrictions around allowing pets beyond the animals that are already on-site. - Smoking is limited to designated areas only. - We have shared co-working areas. At the same time, your presence will help us continue shaping the space into something functional, balanced and respectful of the environment. This is a great place for focused work, but flexibility and patience are important due to our remote location.
