Cultural & Learning Activities in Quetzaltenango
Cultural and learning activities are coordinated by our Quetzaltenango staff to give you the opportunity to learn about the traditional and rich history of the Spanish and Mayan Quiche people and to understand the issues faced by the local community. These insightful activities provide a cultural context to your volunteer work, and help you gain an appreciation for the role that you have, and the work of the Partner Programs.
In Quetzaltenango these activities include weekly Spanish classes and insightful discussions with guest speakers about the region and the struggles of the Guatemalan people. Excursions are also offered and may include a guided walk through the historical part of the city, a visit to the hot springs, tours of the nearby Mayan ruins, and visits with local textile and weaving merchants.
