MayaWorks Tour of Guatemala  

MayaWorks offers 10-day tours of the western highlands of Guatemala. Participants have the opportunity to visit MayaWorks artisans and enjoy the beauty of the country as well gain insights about Maya culture and fair trade. The trip will be highlighted by knowledgable and friendly local guides.

Tours provide an opportunity to meet a variety of Mayans involved in women’s economic and education issues and to learn first-hand about their lives. There is also time for enjoyment of the incredible beauty of Guatemala and to reflect with the group on our "one world" connections.

Past tours included people from all over North America; college students, teachers, managers and administrators, professional church workers, artists, and social workers. These tours are specifically designed for women and men who would like to become involved or want to increase their participation in MayaWorks when they return to the States.

Over the course of the days together, tour groups forge bonds of friendship with each other and a shared commitment to the women of Guatemala and MayaWorks.

Cost:  $1,350 including a $150 non-refundable security deposit; includes all hotel accomodations (double occupancy); ground transportation; all meals; flight to Tikal and bilingual guide.
