You haven’t been to Guatemala until you spend time with Guatemalans! We can introduce you to locals who are eager to share their culture. On the Caribbean coast you can meet Garífuna people, who keep African musical traditions alive. You can also visit villages where people still speak dialects of the Maya language.
PLANNING A COMMUNITY VACATION IN GUATEMALA
Community vacations are quite different from all-inclusive, resort-style vacations. You'll be immersed within a Guatemalan community, and you’ll have direct access to the people and activities unique to Guatemala. We can even arrange for you to partake in a homemade meal with locals.

I think efforts are being made, and change can be slow. People are aware of the problems of pollution in the air and lake.

We Dreamt. Then We Went.
When we told our family and friend that we were going to Guatemala, their first impression was your kidding. The country is not safe. Let me say we had a fantastic time from beginning to end of our trip. Guatemala has a lot to present and the country has a lot of history and the people are wonderful. I would come back again. In general I would say we had no issues with the Itinerary and the drivers of Anywhere were very professional and most of all kept us safe where ever we went. The hotels that we stayed were very nice and in safe location.
