  Was noch ...

  Cancun is a Mega Touristy place so lot of flow and people and interesting activities to do around. Lot of Mayan ruins and the culture is vast. plenty of recommendations once you are here.
  
  We have lots of power tools *Care, attention, experience and common sense is needed to handle tools to avoid accidents or damaging of tools.*
  
  Our location is a bit remote from the city and public transpotation not so closet, so volunteers with their own transpotation are ideal.
