We had an amazing time on this trip! The group was full of wonderful people, and the overall experience was truly memorable. The food was delicious, and it was such a relief not having to think about what to eat since everything was already vegan. The accommodations were comfortable & GORGEOUS, and I really appreciated that we stayed in boutique hotels that supported local businesses.
I also loved that our trip directly contributed to local communities—supporting over 40 businesses and portion of proceeds donated to help fund education for Guatemalan locals. The tours, from making tortillas to visiting a coffee farm and a chocolate workshop, were so fun and immersive. The boat rides on Lake Atitlán were stunning, and Antigua was absolutely breathtaking—I could see myself living there!
(The hike was much harder than expected. While we all made it (ha), it would have been good to have a clearer difficulty rating, especially for those with asthma or other concerns. We all would've still came though, just nice to know for mental & physical preparation 👌🏽)
Overall, this trip was an unforgettable experience! The mix of cultural immersion, ethical travel, and great company made it so special. I made amazing friends, and I’ll always cherish the memories. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful adventure! Loved everyone I met, thank you for showing me around Guatemala! ♥️
