Welcome to Guatemala! Meet your fellow travelers at La Aurora International Airport, where you will depart to Lake Atitlan on private ground transportation.
Nestled in the picturesque highlands of Guatemala, Lake Atitlan captivates visitors with its stunning depth and breathtaking beauty. Known as the deepest lake in Central America, it is surrounded by majestic volcanoes and vibrant indigenous villages.
Explore Lake Atitlán, one of the most stunning lakes in the world. Watch the enchanting surroundings as you ride a boat and visit two indigenous Tz’utuhil villages.
Next, head to San Juan La Laguna to witness the traditional methods of dying thread with native Guatemalan plants at a women's weaving cooperative.
Afterward, take the boat to Santiago to visit the brotherhood of the local saint Maximón or Rilaj Maam. People of all different ethnicities come to Santiago to ask for health and prosperity. Regardless of your belief, make sure to enjoy this magical experience.

"My friend and I agree that this is the best vacation we have ever been on and the best travel company we have ever experienced. There was not one moment of disappointment and I literally laughed until it hurt. Jonno ensured that everything we did was effortless and enjoyable. The accommodations were stellar, the staff was local, the excursions were unforgettable, and the other travelers enhanced the experience tenfold. I can't say enough good things. If you are even slightly considering traveling with this family of amazing people, do it." -Ana A.
"Had an amazing trip to Guatemala! I love the small group, so you can build relationships with the other travelers as well as having a well-run itinerary. The experiences I had are unforgettable and I am definitely going to book another U30x trip!" -Nicole G.
"I went on a trip to Belize with Under30Experiences 2 years ago and had an amazing experience! I got to experience a culture in the way that the locals do (because the Under30 team personally knows the locals!) and I also made life long friends. It is great for people that want to travel at an affordable rate and want to travel with others rather than do the solo thing! It also allows for you to take very minimal time of of work since most trips are over the weekend! I can't recommend this company enough. :) It's an amazing community to be a part of." -Brooke T.
