I second traveling the world. It helps you grow as a person and you become more human.

My grandfather used to say: there are two types of people in the world: those who simply take trips (even if to other countries) and then those who travel (and take in the experience and, hence, grow).

Here's a possible itinerary for you:

Arrive at Guatemala City

Take a 40 min ride to Antigua, a beautiful place. Stay in Antigüa as your HQ.

On day one, explore Antigua, drink the coffee and eat chocolates.

Day two: hike a volcano, called Fuego

Day three: visit a coffee plantation

Day four: go to lake Atitlán and stay in San Marcos for several days. Take in the local festivities as there is always something being celebrated.

Day five: travel by boat in the lake to other towns, like Panajachel. Go to Hotel Atitlán for a great and hefty meal.

Day six: visit a women's cooperative in a town around the lake. Use the tuc tuc service to travel around as the drivers are also great tour guides because they know their towns.

Etc etc.

"become more human" bothers me. First of all, you're either human or not. It a binary thing. Hopefully I don't have to explain that on this site. Maybe you could use that when talking about computers "becoming more human" or perhaps an embryo "becoming more human" as it develops in the wound. But I think we can assume the poster is a fully developed "human".

And according to his/her question. He's just looking for ideas for some cool things to do with his/her time off.

It's so vague. Maybe the phrase you're looking for is it "broadens your perspective". Maybe something else.

And there are better places than Guatemala. Like Costa Rica.
