Guatemala is known as the Land of Eternal Spring and offers rich natural and cultural experiences. The country faces malnutrition and infant mortality challenges, with rural indigenous communities often underserved. We partner with vetted local organisations and charities in the Quetzaltenango region that provide healthcare to underprivileged communities.

25 x pre-departure Spanish lessons are included to help you immerse yourself in local life and make a difference during your stay.
