We welcome visitors with caring hearts by offering short-term trip opportunities to El Tejar, Guatemala, in the Central Highlands. Trip leaders can simply get a group of 5-25 people together and coordinate the group's airfare to Guatemala City. We take care of the rest! We coordinate lodging, local transportation, meals, service programs, and visits to make each trip a wonderful experience!
