| Adventures in Education, Inc., and Aventuras en Educación,
SA, are affiliate companies that collaborate to provide recreational vacations and memorable learning experiences through non-traditional
packages tailored to individual and small group interests. We are located at world-class Lake Atitlan in the Central Highlands of
Guatemala. Atitlan has been judged by such notables as Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) as among the most beautiful lakes in the
world. With a population that is 90% indigenous and traditional in manner, this is truly the "Land of the Living Maya."
Los Encuentros Posada y Centro Cultural
is our joint activity center at Lake Atitlan and offers lodging, study facilities, and a fitness
center. It also serves as an information center and springboard to a full range of leisure and cultural experiences around the Lake and
beyond. See our page Posada Los Encuentros for a description of our accommodations. Our other
pages provide a description of standard packages.
Our study programs stress a flexible, dynamic approach to learning. Our methodology promotes learning through direct contact with
the subject matter and the environment. Our teaching resources are specialists who act as learning facilitators and mentors. Programs
range from scheduled study tours to customized packages that fit individual and special interest group needs.
Most of the programs described are offered "on order" and posted prices
for small groups. However, we encourage you to
propose your own program itinerary and ask us to price it. |
