Mareika- thanks for your answer and appreciate hearing that children come along and that there are animals at the Escuela. I hope you don't mind this follow up: Did you feel safe traveling to a rural part of Guatemala? Also if you are female, how did you find traveling around? I am an East Asian woman and was fearless in my youth traveling around the world but now I'm not as nimble as I once was...
Hi Blake! There are safe spaces to run here, but usually we recommend you don't go alone. One of our teachers that stays at the school during the week runs in the mornings, and usually there are one or two students who want to run. Usually they run into a local finca in the mornings. There is also space on our property to exercise and run! Hopefully that helps :) --Amelia, Coordinator, La Escuela...
