Educational Travel & Service Learning
We live at Lake Atitlán and lead the organizations you’ll be supporting. Our team has hosted thousands of travelers and planted over 100,000 trees through Wellkind Guatemala, the environmental NGO we founded.
Teachers planning student service trips, Rotarians exploring fellowship opportunities, and families wanting to give back all work with us to experience Lake Atitlán authentically while supporting local communities.
Experience Lake Atitlán's Best Adventures
Here are some of the most visited destinations.
Lake Atitlán isn’t one destination. It’s twelve villages, each with distinct offerings. Where you stay determines what kind of trip you have. Party scene or meditation retreat. Luxury hotels or budget hostels. Tourist infrastructure or authentic culture. Most visitors choose wrong because they don’t understand the differences. We break down each town so you can match your base to your priorities.
