Since 2014, he has led multiple student and alumni trips all over the Mayan world. In January 2017, Aaron will transform his passion for the Guatemalan culture, food, ruins, topography, and people into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our WAC community! His seasoned team of academic and adventure travel professionals have created an unforgettable, WAC-tailored, nine-day journey through the modern, colonial, and living Mayan culture. It is natural exploration at its best! From the moment we arrive, every aspect of this journey will be chaperoned by Aaron and his team of Guatemalan gurus. Enjoy private transportation, luxurious lodging, and spectacular views, and make forever memories on this extraordinary adventure.

We'll have the opportunity to connect with and witness how our support improves the lives of the people of San Juan La Laguna. Travel activities include: coffee and rum tastings, fine dining, exploring ancient Mayan ruins, strolling Central America's largest market, visiting rural artisanal villages, connecting with local business owners, optional volcano hikes and cliff jumping, and much more.
