Where partnership, culture, and adventure connect you to the people solving global problems from the ground up.
Somos Impact Travel began with a simple belief. Travel should do more than move you, it should connect you.
What started as a few service-based journeys has grown into a movement of curious, compassionate travelers.
Each trip we design is developed in partnership with grassroots nonprofits, rooted in cultural respect and mutual exchange, and built to leave more behind than we take.
Because when we travel with intention, we return with more than memories. We return transformed.
More than travel, we create immersive journeys that spark connection, inspire growth, and leave lasting impact for both our travelers and the communities we serve.
Transformative service journeys inspired by curriculum and designed for students to connect with local leaders, support real projects, and grow through cultural exchange.
A team that works alongside conservation leaders thinks differently. We design custom expeditions for companies ready to align their team culture with their environmental and social values with measurable outcomes, real partners, and no performative shortcuts.
Built for Rotary clubs and donor groups who want authentic interaction, our programs connect you directly with vetted grassroots organizations aligned with Rotary’s areas of focus: environment, education, and economic development. Led by a fellow Rotarian on the ground.
Be part of a community of travelers who show up as learners, not tourists. Every Somos Impact Travel journey directly supports local nonprofits and grassroots initiatives in the regions we visit. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to go all in, your adventure creates ripple effects that matter.
Somos Impact Travel partners with Rotary and donor clubs across North America to plan meaningful service trips in Guatemala and beyond. Led by a Rotarian and designed for hands-on impact, our programs connect youth with local nonprofits, foster leadership growth, and deliver safe, immersive experiences. If you’re planning your first club trip or a return visit, let’s build something powerful together.
