The solar powered Centro Turistico provides visitors and volunteers with a comfortable sanctuary in an inspirational natural setting. Our lodge sits at the entrance to Guatemala's newest protected area, the Seacacar Cañón Natural Reserve. Visitors enjoy spacious rooms, furnished common areas, a riverside restaurant, stunning views and immediate access to hiking trails, natural swimming pools and a traditional Q'eqchí Maya village. Most important, visitors help fund efforts to end extreme poverty and protect the Rio Sauce watershed. All proceeds go to Seacacar's Q'eqchi Mayan people.
