WeatherWe are 6500 feet up in the mountains of Guatemala, so the weather is quite nice even though we are near the equator. Highs for the month of March average 79 degrees and then cool off to around 56 degrees at night. We travel during the dry season so we don't usually expect much rain.

This was my first mission trip and as everyone keeps asking me how my experience was, even though I've said it a million times, I don't think I'll ever get tired of telling our stories - of how God used us for just that one week and how He personally has transformed my heart." Belinda

Again, you must purchase one of these exact flights. No other flights will be accepted for this trip. The cost for these flights ranges from $600-$1300 depending on when you purchase your ticket. In our experience, the sooner you purchase the ticket the better the price will be. |
