What is in Guatemala?

Guatemala creates the perfect balance between immersing yourself in rich cultural traditions and exploring the stunning natural beauty of Central America. Get ready to wander through the cobbled streets of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage city, and discover its colorful colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and deeply-rooted history. Venture into the surrounding highlands to explore active volcanoes, and the serene Lake Atitlán. Along the way, engage with local Maya communities to experience their artisanship.

Who is this for?

Spiritual Seekers: If you’re looking for a deeper connection to yourself and your ancestors, Lake Atitlán offers a transformative experience with an indigenous-led cacao and fire ceremony. This ancient ritual that promotes healing and releasing, and connection to your ancestry. It’s truly special.

Adventure Seekers: If you love to explore, hike an active volcano, Volcan Pacaya and at the top roast marshmallows as a reward! Also enjoy zip-lining across the Nature Reserva, and experience hikes with a view along the journey.

Indigenous Art Lovers: If you are interested in learning more about art and overall the Mayan civilization, history, and roots you’re in for a treat. Experience the artisanship, weaving workshops, cooking lessons, and learn about the locally sourced stone, Jade.

Foodies: If you are a passionate foodie, you're in for a treat. Savor the rich and flavors of Guatemalan pupusas, and explore all Antigua’s trendy foodie spots.

So far, I’ve been to Fiji and Guatemala with TWWU (with more planned in the future). Each itinerary is intentionally built with love and logic, fulfilling your best travel dreams, immersing you into the culture of your destination(s) while also always giving back to the communities you’re visiting! It’s NOT about just going on “vacation”.

Testimonials from our past travelers:

“Every single World Within Us trip I've been on has far exceeded all my (very high) expectations. I've made such incredible memories and life-long friendships during these experiences and already have 2 trips booked for next year!.”

Jordyn Cotton (Chicago, 28 years old)

“My traveling experience with The World Within Us is unmatched. I have done 4 trips and, each time, I’m in awe at the balance of the itinerary. Combine that with the fact that I just pack and show up and I don’t have to plan a thing and I’m in heaven!! I definitely identify as someone who finds it hard to plan out a trip on my own and TWWU makes it so easy.”
