Adventures and Sponsored Challenges

Hike, kayak, cycle or surf. Guatemala’s unique landscapes offer a breadth of adventures for visitors. Take part in guided tours, complete a sponsored challenge, or organise a group expedition as part of your visit to The School of Hope. 
If you’d like to participate in a challenge or adventure on behalf of The School of Hope, or just explore what Guatemala has to offer, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Climbing Volcanoes

    Experience sunrise and sunset at the summit of volcanoes, and come up close with lava fields. A trip to Antigua would not be complete without exploring the dramatic landscape that surrounds it. Get in touch with Soy Tours, experts in the overnight Acatenango volcano trek.

  • Highlands Hiking

    Traverse Guatemala’s rural highlands on a multi-day trek - staying in small villages, exploring beautiful mountain scenery, and learning about Guatemala’s history and culture on the way. Find out more with Quetzaltrekkers, a charity organising trips for every ability.

“I cannot recommend enough experiencing Acatenango volcano for yourself.”

Trekking not for you? Many more adventures await in Guatemala’s diverse scenery - tackle the jungles, lakes and temples in the north, or visit the Pacific coastline for black sand beaches and surfing.
