Family

If you are looking for a unique experience, come and live with a Guatemalan family. Students will experience life in Guatemala, first hand. Our families are typical, middle class Guatemalans who enjoy opening their homes to foreigners. Middle class homes in Guatemala are not luxurious, but they do have the main essentials. You will have a private room, a key to your room and to the front door, a hot shower, three meals per day (vegetarian meals available upon request), and quality conversation with the family.

 

Only one student is placed in each family, but if you would like to stay with a friend or partner in the same house, this can also be arranged. All of our host families live within 3 to 500 meters of the school. This means that you will be within 1 to 15 minutes walking distance of the school and it will be easy to go out at night with other students because they will live close by.

 

Students will receive typical Guatemalan cuisine in their home-stays that is safe and nutritious. Purified water is always available. If you are vegetarian, the señora of the house can plan your meals to include vegetables, fruits and grains.

 

Living with a Guatemalan family is an excellent experience. Guatemalans are very open and caring. By living with a family, you will have the chance to participate in their daily activities. Living with a local family provides a unique view of everyday Guatemalan life that each student has the opportunity to experience while studying at I.C.A.
