Volunteering in Guatemala: an unforgettable experience

One of the best things about volunteering in Guatemala is that you will have the opportunity to get to know locals and make friends! You will also get to practice your Spanish skills in this beautiful Central American country. 

To help you to find the right position for you, Worldpackers offer an intuitive design with lots of filters that you can use, such as travel length, host types, additional benefits, purpose of the trip and so on.

Things to do and see in Guatemala

While helping with a project in Guatemala, you can enjoy some of its best cities, like Antigua Guatemala, which is a colonial-era Spanish city with a beautiful landscape; San Juan and Jocotenango. The ancient Maya site of Tikal is also a must-see. You can explore beautiful lakes, rivers, and forests while you are volunteering in Guatemala.

Another great thing about the country is that there are plenty of delicious foods to try. From tamales and empanadas to pepian and jocón, there are plenty of tasty dishes to keep you satisfied. 

Guatemala is also home to some of the best coffee in the world, so be sure to try a cup while you are there.

Volunteering in Guatemala is an incredible experience that you will never forget.  Whenever you are ready to dive into this, sign up at Worldpackers and have the best support and cost-benefit!
