FuegoCommunity & Green

The good stuff isn't a donate button.

Fuego works with local NGOs and community projects across Guatemala. You don't unlock discounts at these places — you unlock rare stamps that can't be bought, only earned by showing up.

🌱 The Green Partner badge
🌱 Green Partner

Look for this badge on any business in the app — restaurants, cafés, hostels, bars, shops. It means they compost their food waste with Green Mama instead of sending it to the landfill — verified, not self-declared.

Antigua's businesses throw out a staggering amount of organic waste and single-use plastic every day. Choosing a Green Partner is the easiest good decision you'll make on this trip.

Three things to earn the badge:

1Composts with Green Mama — verified by them, not self-declared. (Businesses with no kitchen: sort and drop off.)
2No styrofoam, no plastic straws, no plastic bags. Takeaway and packaging in paper or reusables.
3Free water refill for anyone who brings a bottle — look for 🚰 Refill here on the map.

The badge can't be bought. Ever. If a place loses the habit, it loses the badge.

Santuario Fuego
Dog & people sanctuary · our own mission

The reason Fuego exists. Every Pass, coffee bag and booking funds the sanctuary — rescue, vet care, and a place for both dogs and people to land.

🐕
Partner rescues
Antigua & beyond

Local rescues we route volunteers, donations and adopters to. Walk a dog, foster for a week, or fly one home as a flight volunteer.

How volunteering earns you something real
1Pick a project — compost day, dog walk, beach or turtle release. Dates live in the app.
2Show up. Staff confirms you were there.
3Blue drops a stamp that can't be bought — plus XP toward your level. Collect all of them and you're a Fuego legend, not a tourist.
