About This Tour
This five-day Snapshot Tour offers a glimpse into the beautiful scenery of Guatemala and the indigenous culture of the Mayan people. You will have the chance to deliver much–needed textbooks, inaugurate brand new computer centers, and interact with students, teachers, and families who benefit from CoEd’s programs while visiting schools across Guatemala’s Western Highlands!
Whether you are a solo traveler or a group, all are welcome! So individuals, friends, couples, and families with children ages 10 and up (suggested), this is an amazing experience for all, especially as your first trip with our organization.
