Discover Guatemala with Maria
Meet Maria.
Maria lives with her mother, father, grandmother and two brothers in a simple house in the community of San Pablo. While she lives a rather typical life for a young girl in her community, her family is proud to open their home to guests and share their culture, food and way of life.
- Learn to cook tamales with her grandmother using the family’s secret recipe
- Blow bubbles with the kids while they teach you new phrases in Spanish
- Pick some fresh coffee beans off of the plants growing behind her house.
And that’s just one afternoon!

“I loved it. Everything about this trip surpassed my expectations. I expected a high quality trip where I saw the important sights and did some volunteering, but I got much more than that. The ladies at the Home Base became like family, and I left a piece of my heart with the children at the school. Orlando, the guide, feels more like my Guatemalan brother than a staff member. I never expected to be so moved by a vacation. I came back with a new perspective on life and a love for Guatemala.”
