I had an amazing experience in Guatemala and I loved being able to practice Spanish and gain more teaching experience. The location is quite far from any of the other locations that I wanted to visit however, it was accessible with a bus ride that was fairly cheap. I really enjoyed being able to spend time with Sylvia and I was able to experience a world I would not have otherwise been able to experience. If you are looking for a visit in a more royal location than this is the place to go. I felt like I had an authentic experience of life in Guatemala.

I loved the strategy of teaching the language and the nicest thing is that we could communicate, and even though I'm a bit far from everything, literally I'm in the center of Guatemala... so all the experiences and trips to the communities were great with your company.

My experience was very beautiful, I connected with the local culture, Silvia and her family welcomed me and treated me with a lot of love. I can only be grateful for the moments shared ❤️ I will definitely return to Cubulco
