You are invited to join HDR for a week-long cultural immersion in Guatemala during January. This exceptional opportunity promises an enriching experience that allows you to engage with the local community and explore the country’s diverse attractions.
During your stay, you will have the privilege of participating in three days of stove-making, providing you with hands-on experience in this artisanal craft. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to visit three renowned tourist destinations, each offering unique insights into Guatemala’s rich cultural heritage.
We eagerly anticipate the prospect of welcoming you to this transformative journey.
