Activities

So many things to do!

La Democracia offers countless ways to explore the wonders of Guatemala. Cheer on the local fútbol team, climb a volcano, go see a play, take dance lessons .... it can be hard to choose!

We believe participation in these activities will give you a more complete experience of Guatemala’s heritage, culture, and breathtaking landscape. All local activities are included in the price of tuition. Additional fees may apply for activities outside of Quetzaltenango.
