Senderos offers many ways for you to see first-hand the impact being made in Guatemala, to experience the unique culture of the Maya people, and to learn more about Guatemala and its history. There is no substitute for first-hand experience, so come travel with us and see the work for yourself.
No matter your age, your experience traveling, or your Spanish language skills, our trips allow you to experience and change the world, and come back changed!
At least once a year, Senderos organizes trips led by David LaMotte and Sarah Robinson that are open to the public and you can learn more about those here.
Senderos also works with churches, Universities, and private groups to form a trip that can be personalized to highlight certain aspects of our work in Guatemala such as music, women’s issues, or early childhood education. These trips can also have a component of service, though we focus mostly on experiential education and cross-cultural relationship building. To learn more about Senderos putting together a trip for your organization, please read more here.

If you have further questions, please check out our FAQ, and if your question isn’t covered there, drop a note to Sarah. We are grateful for your interest, and we look forward to knowing you better.
Upcoming Trips
Rotary Club of Asheville
The Rotary Club of Downtown Asheville is preparing for its third visit to Tzanchaj, where members helped build a small community school. During this trip, Asheville Rotarians will connect with fellow Rotarians in Antigua and around Lake Atitlán, joining local Guatemalan leaders in a service project identified by the community itself.
The impact of Rotary’s work—both globally and in Guatemala—cannot be overstated. Their commitment to service continues to build meaningful connections and lasting change across borders.
May 2026
Senderos and Mars Hill University have been partnering to support Guatemalan schools since 2016. With funding support through the Hester Center for Peace and Justice, trips focus on cultural exposure and understanding with educational components as well as service activities.
If you have a church, school, or civic group that would like to organize a trip, please contact Sarah.
July 9-19, 2026
This summer, Senderos will be taking a group of 10-20 people, led by David LaMotte and Sarah Robinson, to learn more about Guatemala our work there. Group participants will enjoy the rich culture and beautiful landscape and explore how best we can have a positive influence on the world around us, in partnership and community across lines that sometimes separate us. The trip will focus on cultural exposure and understanding. Our time together will have educational components, and opportunities to get to know and support some of our Guatemalan partners and their work.
The itinerary includes two nights in Guatemala City, three nights in Santiago, Atitlán, three nights in El Tejar, Chimaltenango, and two days in Antigua, Guatemala.
