What Our Guests Say
'I stayed with Amparo and Oralia for three weeks in their home at Trama. I participated in volunteering for Trama textiles, helping Oralia with English, taking photos of products, practicing my Spanish, editing website photos, and even making some products out of the recycled fabrics that Trama have! From the moment I arrived I felt very welcome and fully immersed into the project. I had a weaving lesson from Oralia, and at the same time I helped her with learning some English phrases so she is able to teach weaving in other countries. I also had Spanish lessons with a private tutor (very cheap) and would definitely recommend this if you want to stay in Xela Quetzaltenango for a long time!" Alice C, England
"If you are looking for cultural immersion, true connection, and an authentic experience while you are in Guatemala…..look no further. A friend and I had the honor of spending 3 nights with Oralia, Amparo, and their families. To say it was more than I expected would be an understatement. We were welcomed in with open arms and felt like family right away. They prepared food for us, taught us how to weave, showed us the natural dying process they use, and even had the patience to try and teach us the art of tortilla making. Even though we do not speak Spanish, we had no problem communicating with Google translate and some basic phrases we picked up. We also had the opportunity to venture out to some nearby hot springs and the local market to pick up some groceries. These women and their families gave us a behind the scenes look at daily life in Guatemala. We also bonded over sharing some of our own personal rituals and offering them some foot massages and reiki. We came as strangers and left as friends. This was just a beginning in a life long connection with these women and the work they are doing."
