The True Value of a Student Trip to Guatemala

Balanced Adventure

Our Guatemala student tours are carefully crafted to align with the objectives and curriculum of schools and universities. While the cultural experiences have an educational component, they are still fun and rewarding, all while students can achieve their intended goals for this trip to Guatemala. Whether the focus is on cultural exchange, Spanish immersion, or social work, we ensure a perfect balance.

Why is balance necessary? Because we understand that for many students, this is their first time away from home, and traveling abroad can be overwhelming. We create space for travelers to process and share their thoughts and feelings, plus, we also leave downtime for students to explore on their own and share with their peers and create new friendships.

Passionate Team of Local Hosts and Trip Leaders

Our team of young, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable trip leaders, guides, and local hosts bring every itinerary to life! From engaging group dynamics and sharing fascinating facts to creating an upbeat atmosphere with plenty of laughs, we ensure that everyone—students and chaperones alike—relaxes, learns, and enjoys themselves during their student trips to Guatemala. Our Guatemala student tours are led by experts who make learning engaging and amusing, ensuring a memorable experience for all participants.
