Day in the Life: Rural Guatemala Experience

$140.00

Step out of tourist mode and into real life.

This hands-on cultural experience drops you into a working Guatemalan homestead where you’ll spend the morning learning how daily life actually happens — the way families here have done it for generations. Expect dirt under your nails, smoke in the air, and a whole lot of laughs.

You won’t just watch… you’ll do.

You may find yourself milking a cow at sunrise, grinding corn and pressing fresh tortillas by hand, feeding pigs and chickens, or learning how meals are prepared over an open fire. Depending on the day, you might help harvest vegetables, make fresh cheese, or prepare coffee the traditional way.

This isn’t polished or staged — it’s real life, shared generously by local families. Come curious, leave full (and probably smelling like a farm).

Possible hands-on activities include:

✅ Milking cows

✅ Hand-making tortillas from fresh corn dough

✅ Feeding pigs and chickens

✅ Collecting eggs

✅ Harvesting vegetables or herbs

✅ Traditional cooking over fire

✅ Fresh cheese or coffee preparation

✅ Learning about rural farming life

Perfect for travelers who want connection over comfort — and a story you’ll be telling long after you’re home.

Minimum 2 people (Single Supplement available) 

Includes:

  • Bilingual Guide (English and Spanish) 

  • Roundtrip Transportation from Antigua

  • Financial contribution to local families

  • Snacks and bottled water

Not included: 

  • Souvenirs

  • Additional food and beverage

  • Optional tips
