Day 1

Arrival in Antigua

The trip was well organized and they w”graciously accommodated an early departure! The farm day was educational. The service day painting at the school was good. However, the trip seemed like it tried to blend a little tourism with a little service and wasn’t able to do either justice. We recommend much more focus on service. The surfing day was not worthwhile for anyone who wasn’t a beginner.

It was a seriously incredible student trip to Guatemala! The itinerary was well-balanced with culture, adventure, and time to connect. Highlights included exploring Antigua, visiting Lake Atitlán, and learning from local communities. The experience was eye-opening, meaningful, and a great mix of fun and growth. Highly recommend!
