PROJECT: COMMUNITY-LED INITIATIVE TO REDUCE GLOBAL POVERTY
Limited to 30 expeditioners:
The picturesque nation of Guatemala bridges Mexico with all other Central American countries. While quaint in geographical size, the native people radiate a happiness that is larger than life. CHOICE expeditions focus on the indigenous Q'eqchi' communities of the pleasant Polochic region, amidst the breathtaking cloud forest of the Alta Verapaz state.
