Why Choose the Trails & Waves Program?
- Adrenaline-Pumping Activities
This isn’t your average gap year program. With Trails & Waves, you’ll dive headfirst into thrilling activities that will get your heart racing and your spirit soaring. From mountain biking on your gap year down volcanoes to surfing the Pacific waves, every day brings a new adventure. Whether you’re hiking through lush rainforests or kayaking on tranquil waters, you’ll experience Guatemala’s stunning natural beauty in the most exhilarating ways possible.
- Authentic Cultural Connections
Traveling isn’t just about the sights; it’s about the people and the culture. In Guatemala, you’ll have the chance to forge genuine connections with locals. Practice your Spanish language skills, share meals with Guatemalan families in your homestay, and immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions and customs of this incredible country. These authentic experiences will deepen your understanding of the world and leave you with lasting memories.

AdventureEXP’s Trails & Waves program is the ideal complement to our US Travel and Work Program. Start your gap year with a rewarding work experience in the US, where you’ll gain valuable skills and earn money, then take your adventure international with a $500 discount on your Guatemala program. This combination of work and travel ensures a well-rounded and fulfilling gap year experience.
- True Adventure Travel
For those who thrive on adventure, Guatemala is a paradise. Picture yourself hiking through the lush landscapes of the Sierra de las Minas, exploring the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal, or zip-lining through the jungle canopy.
