THANK YOU for your interest in creating a custom Service Trip to Local Hope's Xela AID Complex and Eco-Guest House in the Guatemalan Highlands. This form is meant to be filled out by an individual who (1) prefers to create their own schedule rather than choose our two-week package "Volunteer in Guatemala!," (2) is arranging a Group Trip (registering multiple people -- the "Group Leader") or by an individual who is joining a Group Trip. If you are interested in our two-week package, check out our Volunteer in Guatemala offering. Please set aside 30 minutes to complete this form, and have your passport available. If you are registering a group, please have each member's first and last names and an idea of the interests and talents they may wish to share during the Community Service portion of your trip.

Guatemala City Stays - Travel to our Complex takes approximately five hours including meal and stretch stops. Because of flight schedules, many travelers choose to arrive in Guatemala City one day prior to travel to our region, and/or stay an extra night in Guatemala before their return home. If you wish to stay in Guatemala City pre- or post-trip, we recommend the Barcelo Hotel which provides free shuttle service to and from the airport beginning early in the morning, and can arrange a transfer for you if you are arriving exceptionally early or late. You may learn more or make a reservation through a third party such as Hotels.com, or here: HOTEL BARCELO
Antigua, Lake Atitlán - Our most popular trips look like this:
1. Pre-night stay in Guatemala City
2. One night (or two) in Antigua
3. Five nights (four service days) at Local Hope's Eco-Guest House at the Xela AID Complex, San Martín Chiquito
4. Two (or three) nights at Lake Atitlán
5. Return to Guatemala City (hotel, or catch a flight out).
Should you wish to travel to Antigua or Lake Atitlán before or after your Service Trip to San Martín Chiquito, we are happy to book reliable transportation for you.
