Experience Guatemala. Connect with Communities. Support the Next Generation of PiLA Fellows.
Join Princeton in Latin America (PiLA) for a week exploring Guatemala alongside the people, organizations, and communities that have shaped our fellowship program.
Throughout the trip, participants will visit PiLA partner organizations—including Hospitalito Atitlán, Mayanza, Puerto Abierta, and Antigua International School—meet current and former Fellows, and learn from local leaders working to strengthen their communities. Along the way, we'll also explore Guatemala's history, culture, and landscapes, with time built into the itinerary for participants to discover the country on their own.
Whether you're a PiLA alumnus, family member, donor, supporter, or simply interested in Latin America, Discover Guatemala offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the region while gaining a firsthand understanding of PiLA's work.
With only a few spaces remaining, we encourage interested travelers to reserve their spot soon.
