You’ll visit the homes and communities of sponsored friends and learn about their joys and challenges while experiencing the beauty of the people. Sponsors will have the opportunity to meet with their sponsored friends in our Guatemala program. You’ll stay in simple accommodations at our facility in San Lucas Tolimán, with the first and last nights spent in a hotel in Guatemala City. San Lucas Tolimán sees average highs in the upper 70s and lows in the mid-50s. The rainy season runs through the end of November. During this time, it typically rains for a couple of hours in the afternoon and overnight. The weather in Guatemala varies dramatically based on elevation. Though you will sleep at 5,064 feet above sea level, you may visit areas at elevations between 1,000 and 9,800 feet above sea level. Travel within the country is typically by bus for two to four hours on winding and scenic mountain roads.

Trip highlights:

• • Gather with your sponsored friends at the Unbound Regional Center for a day of fun and games.
• • Be welcomed into the homes of other sponsored members to understand their daily challenges and their goals, and to see the impact of the Unbound program.
• • Travel by boat across stunning Lake Atitlán and witness the traditional cultures of Guatemala in the colonial capital of Antigua.

*On these trips to Guatemala, expect a more strenuous itinerary during which Unbound families and staff will teach you about their work, culture and lives through hands-on activities such as planting trees, grinding corn to make tortillas, or harvesting coffee and vegetables on local farms. On this unique trip, you may be walking a mile or more up and down steep, narrow dirt paths and participating in agricultural work in the sun at elevations over 9,800 feet above sea level. Excellent balance and mobility is a must.

**On the August 2025 and the July 2026 trips, the group will travel deeper into the western highlands of Guatemala to visit Quetzaltenango (often shortened to Xela, pronounced “sheh-lah”). This trip is 8 days and involves longer road travel than other trips. The roads will be winding and difficult at times. Xela and the surrounding area sits at 8,000 feet above sea level, and you may visit communities up to 10,000 feet above sea level.
