We Are Green Deal Certified

A Green Deal certification for a hotel, restaurant, or travel agency tells customers that the business has taken steps not only to improve service to clients, but also to protect the environment, conserve energy, and comply with health and sanitation standards. The Green Deal standards are monitored by the Rainforest Alliance, a well-financed, worldwide organization based in New York. The certification, conferred on the basis of on-site inspections, is managed in Guatemala by the Asociación Alianza Verde. The names of companies holding the Green Deal certification are posted on the Internet.

Welcome to Buga Mama Restaurante - Livingston, Guatemala.

Buga Mama, meaning "Mouth of the River" is a "Golden Fork" award winning retaurant and a tourist destination when exploring the Rio Dulce in Livingston, Guatemala. Stop by for refreshments or our delicious shrimp entrees!

This place enjoys the best location of any restaurant in town, and profits go to the Asociación Ak’ Tenamit.

There's a wide range of seafood as well as pasta and fajitas. All of the workers are trainees in a community sustainable tourism development program which enables them to continue individual growth as well as taking learned skills back to their rural villages.

Buga Mama is owned and run by students from Ak’ Tenamit, a school built nearby that engages 500 students of the Mayan culture in educational activities such as agriculture and hospitality. The students are trained at Cafe Tatin, a cafe on the Ak’ Tenamit grounds, then transferred to Buga Mama to complete their training.

All proceeds from food and gifts purchased at Buga Mama are used to support the 500 students at Ak’ Tenamit to work toward a better life through education.

While boating past on the Rio Dulce in Livingston, Guatemala, don't forget to stop by and shop at our gift shop as well as enjoy our refreshing Lemonade. You won't be sorry that you stopped to help support these students.

Stop by and support the Ak’ Tenamit students and have a delicious meal!
