Guatemala



  • About
    The smell of strong coffee. A jumbled rainbow of woven fabrics. The clack of a wooden loom. Steam rising from natural hot spring.

    Escape to a magical country where the ancient traditions of the Maya people live on alongside bustling modernity. From the cobblestone streets of Antigua to our base in the mountains of Quetzaltenango, you’ll connect with local people in a meaningful way. We’ll also visit Lake Atitlan and the surrounding communities.
