While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $36 a day this sits a little under the $48 median for language. It is cheaper than 10 of the 13 language options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Guatemala
- 1 other option in Guatemala, starting with backstrap weaving and natural dyeing in San Juan la Laguna from $300.
- When to go
- Runs year-round, so this one bends around your calendar rather than the other way about.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 28 days, but the honest range is 7 to 180. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
