Aventuras
en Educación, SA, is an outgrowth of Adventures
in Education, Inc. Since 2000, the two companies have collaborated 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 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.

While
the prices of our established tours are directed toward the budget-minded
traveler, we can readily upgrade the quality of transportation and lodging
at a reasonable price increase. Specialists employed at Aventuras
en Educación, SA, are fully qualified in their
subject fields. Tour group leaders typically hold degrees in Latin
American Studies and are bilingual in English and Spanish. Portuguese
and German-speaking tour guides are also available.
Richard J. Morgan,
Jr., is company founder and CEO. He holds MA degrees in Education (Seton Hall
University) and Latin American
studies (University
of Arizona). He
is a retired military officer with extensive world travel experience both
in the military and since, while traveling and writing about worthwhile
tour destinations. Mr. Morgan is also the author of the critically
acclaimed Guide to Historic Missions & Churches of the
Arizona-Sonora Borderlands and three more recent books dealing with Lake Atitlan and the Living Mayan culture
found there.
