Experience Guatemala
Give your hearts & hands to the Mayan people.
If you love adventure travel, join us for the trip of a lifetime.
We promise you it will be life changing.
With our voluntourism program, you will visit beautiful, colourful Guatemala to install wood burning stoves in remote Mayan communities, improving the quality of life for many families. Then you will enjoy a week of sightseeing with local and Canadian guides. Through the Hearts & Hands Foundation, you will turn your vacation time into a meaningful and rewarding volunteer experience: a purpose-filled journey.
As one of the leading non-governmental organizations in Guatemala, we give Canadians the opportunity to provide humanitarian aid through safe travel in Guatemala.
Our team leaders pave the way for a safe, enjoyable and productive visit. Our two-week journeys to remote villages located in the department (province) of El Quiché in the central highlands of Guatemala will include one week of volunteering alongside the Mayan people followed by one week of cultural sight-seeing, including Santiago de Atitlán, colourful Chichicastenango, beautiful Antigua, and possibly Tikal.
You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a culture in ways that few people ever get to experience.
You will meet Mayan families, work alongside them, laugh with them, and sometimes cry with them. There is only one thing we promise you when you go on one of our trips. You will never be the same afterwards.
Volunteers cover the cost of airfare, hotels, local transportation, accommodation, meals and tours and receive a tax receipt for the costs incurred during the week of work.
