Visit our campus

Seeing is believing. Tour our program in Guatemala City and see firsthand who we are and what we do.

Safe Passage offers bilingual tours on Thursdays and Fridays -- which can be scheduled upon request.

Each tour lasts approximately 3 hours (plus travel time) and includes a viewing of the Guatemala City garbage dump from the city’s General Cemetery. Tours visit our Preschool, Elementary and Middle Schools, as well as our Educational Reinforcement Center.  

Our community is one of extreme poverty. Visitors may see difficult scenes of violence, addiction, and animal neglect. We recommend that visitors be at least 15 years of age; children under age 15 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Throughout the tour, trained Safe Passage staff provide historical and cultural information relevant to our community, our programs, and our mission. We encourage you to ask questions.
