CASA GUATEMALA is a non-political and non-sectarial charitable organization dedicated to helping children. It is supported solely by private contributions from around the world, receiving no funding from the government of Guatemala. Foreign volunteers make up most of the staff of CASA GUATEMALA.

After twenty seven years of hard work, the children’s village CASA GUATEMALA has a large number of teenagers. These youth are going to higher education leveled schools, i.e.: High school or University, or are training in different career fields. As an alternative for the teenagers, CASA GUATEMALA is now giving them the opportunity to develop and merge in to the tourism industry.

In staying at Hotel Backpackers you are supporting a career for our adolescents and, at the same time, helping to feed the children at the orphanage. We welcome you to visit CASA GUATEMALA, 20 minutes down river from the hotel. Tours can be arranged at the reception desk. Thank you very much for giving our teenagers the opportunity to do their job.
