Lodging

Live with a Family: This is our recommended form of lodging. Here you will have your own room, three prepared meals daily, and a hot shower. All houses are carefully inspected to make sure that you have a clean, comfortable place to stay during your time at La Democracia. All houses are stocked with pure drinking water.

Living with a family is an important part of understanding the culture as well as allows you many opportunities to practice Spanish outside the classroom. It is very common that students build strong bonds with the family and continue their relationships after the student leaves Guatemala.
