Guatemala offers a rich and diverse experience for interns. A culturally and geographically diverse country, an intern can experience volcanoes, pristine mountain lakes, the rainforest, the coast, and lush mountains. Home to many ethnic groups, including a significant indigenous population, it allows an intern to gain incredible insight into a world very different from mainstream U.S. culture. IE3 Global Internships offers internships at both urban and rural locations that are not typical tourist destinations, allowing the intern to interact with the local population.
Long Way Home (rural) is located on the outskirts of the small town of…
