EXAMPLE TRAVEL WITH WANDERWORLDTravel
8.5 months - Guatemala, Peru, Panama
START YOUR JOURNEY IN GUATEMALA
1st start of your journey : Guatemala
You fly to Guatemala City and are driven by a driver to your accommodation in Antigua. There you will meet the first other volunteers who are also about to start their Guatemala adventure. You will then meet Alejandro, your contact person in Guatemala. Alejandro will show you around Antigua, take you out for a typical Guatemalan meal and answer any questions you may have about the country and your trip. He will then show you the best places to withdraw money and get you the SIM card you need for Guatemala.
Thanks to our detailed travel preparation documents, you will know how to reach your first project and can start your 2-week language course at Lago Atitlán in a relaxed manner. You have chosen a host family so that you can come into closer contact with the culture and test the Spanish you have learned on your language course in a safe environment.
After the 2 weeks you are sad to leave your host family, but are already looking forward to your next project: the teaching project in Antigua. You will now spend the next 2 months there. During the week, you will help out at the school, run workshops with the children and give English lessons. At the weekend, you will go on excursions through Guatemala with the other volunteers. Your highlight is a night hike to the Acatenango volcano. The 2 months are over so quickly and suddenly you're on a plane to your next destination country and feel how much you miss the children and your fellow volunteers.
SECOND DESTINATION: PERU
2. explore Peru
Excited about the new country, you start your introductory days in Peru. The other volunteers and you get to know Carlos and spend a wonderful time with him in Lima. You get to see the beautiful murals in Miraflores and try a delicious pisco sour for the first time. Afterwards, you set off on your next project and this time it's off to the jungle...
When you arrive at the Rainforest Reserve project, you meet your team, who give you a warm welcome. Nature is so incredibly beautiful that you still can't get enough of it after your two months in the project and wish you could stay a little longer. But you and another volunteer you met on the project have been bitten by the travel bug. Now you are spending your month traveling in Peru with hikes through the Andes, a visit to Machu Picchu and many other great adventures. Sad, but full of exciting experiences, you say goodbye to your new-found friend at the end of the month and set off for your final destination: Panama.
CONCLUSION OF YOUR TRIP IN PANAMA
3. make Panama unsafe
When you arrive in Panama, you suddenly think about what it will be like to come home again, how everyone will have changed - or not. How time went by so quickly, but at the same time you were able to experience an infinite number of moments. You quickly feel at home in your new project in Panama on the cocoa farm, which is also due to all the cute animals running around there. You also notice how your Spanish has become so good over time that you can understand people well despite their accent. Once again, the month on the farm goes by far too quickly and you go swimming in the sea one last time before you start your final project...
In your last project, you really unwind before heading back home. In the hostel where you help out, you've made some good friends with whom you always go partying or explore waterfalls at the weekend. They all speak Spanish, but your Spanish skills make it easy for you to talk to them (and of course you can always ask them in English if someone has spoken too quickly). After your time in the hostel, you spend another month traveling on your own, meeting extraordinary people, exploring incredible places and getting to know yourself from a completely different perspective. Time flies by and as you drop off your luggage for the flight back home, you suddenly feel melancholy and think of all the special people you've met, places you've seen and adventures you've had. And you know for sure: I'll be back...
When you arrive home, your family and a few friends are waiting for you at the airport and you don't even know where to start. You realize that everything is somehow a little different and yet still the same. You feel your eyes sparkle with a thirst for adventure with every story you tell and wonder where you're going next. After a few weeks at home, you sit down at your laptop and write an experience report. One that is full of emotion and adventure. Just like the one you read back then that sparked your curiosity about Latin America.
