Tour of 2026 to Guatemala!

In 2026, Horizons of Friendship Educational Tour was to Guatemala!  We explored the heart of Central America while engaging with our partner organizations and our inspiring projects that empower women, promote sexual and reproductive health, and reduce gender-based violence.
 

Other Highlights of the Tour:
📍 Antigua – strolled cobblestone streets lined with colonial churches and monasteries, explored local museums, and immersed ourselves in Guatemala’s vibrant culture.

🚤 Boat Tour – spent the day on the shores of Lake Atitlan, exploring the highlands, with stops at viewpoints along the way.

🍫 ChocoMuseum Experience – explored the history of cacao from bean to bar (and tasted the results).

🏝  Flores, Petén – wandered this picturesque island town and soaked in its colorful charm.

🏛  Tikal National Park – stepped back in time to discover the ancient Maya city, a UNESCO world heritage site surrounded by lush rainforest.

This tour wasn’t just about seeing the sights – it was about connecting with people, ideas, and history, while understanding social changes that the country is facing.

Our travel group came home with new knowledge, new friends, and a deeper understanding of Guatemala’s resilience and experienced first hand the real on the ground impact of Horizons and local partners.

“We have been telling everyone we encounter what a wonderful experience we had and how beneficial it is to see how contributions are being used. An opportunity to witness the work carried out by a charitable organization to which one entrusts donations is truly valuable.”  – Tour participant
