Work environment

About the role

The partner in the archaeological expedition. The cultural tourist who books a private car to the Ruta Puuc for a full day — visiting Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, and Labná across 8 hours — is spending an entire day with their driver. The driver who waits patiently at each site, who has cold water ready when the guest returns from the heat of the ruins, who knows to depart Uxmal by 4pm to avoid the afternoon traffic on the return to Mérida, who recommends the right roadside restaurant for lunch — is a travel companion, not just a driver. That relationship quality determines whether the guest recommends the service.
