The Sanctuary
Santuario Fuego
A 2-acre sanctuary + hospitality haven with a million-dollar volcano view — where people help dogs and dogs help people. In memory of my brother.
The vision: ~2 acres on a hillside with open views of Agua, Fuego & Acatenango. A working dog rescue & sanctuary and a human wellness retreat, paid for by a small cluster of short-term rental casitas, a farm-to-table restaurant, and the experiences travelers already book through Fuego Tours. Hospitality funds the mission — every stay, tour, and bag of coffee feeds it.
Dog sanctuary
Kennels, shaded play yards, a clinic corner, and adoption space for rescued dogs.
Human sanctuary
A wellness lodge for yoga, sound therapy, recovery and quiet — open to guests & locals.
View casitas
Short-term rentals with volcano views. The revenue engine that keeps it all free for the dogs.
Farm-to-table restaurant
Volcano-view dining open to guests & the public — sourced from the on-site garden. Another stream that funds the rescue.
Doggie spa & grooming
Fear-free by design — quiet dryers, warm hands, one dog at a time, garden views. Street-dog glow-ups & guest-pet pampering; every bath funds the next rescue.
A base camp for travelers, every single night
It’s not just a place to sleep. Every casita guest gets Blue the AI guide, a built itinerary, airport pickup, and on-site experiences — coffee tours, volcano hikes, yoga, sound therapy. The property becomes their basecamp for Antigua, and every booking from it funds the rescue.
