Hola from Antigua! Soumya and Ryan here, sharing about our first few days as a group. We landed in Guatemala in the wee hours of the morning and made our way to the outskirts of the beautiful city of Antigua. At the peaceful Earthlodge retreat, we dove into getting to know each other through games, lessons about safety and cultural norms, nighttime gatherings in the temescal (traditional Mayan steam room), and a hike through the hills that surrounded us. Every morning we woke to the sunrise over the beautiful volcanoes and at night we enjoyed watching lava explosions from afar. Finally, we forayed into Antigua and the students got to explore the city on a scavenger hunt!
