From its high vantage point, the views are spectacularly tranquil: distant hills look blue, while up close, lush greenery fills the landscape. Alta Verapaz means “high trail of peace,” and on the surface, this really does seem like an idyllic place to live. But the families who make their home here paint a picture of their daily lives that’s anything but peaceful. Alta Verapaz is one of the poorest areas in Guatemala, with more than 8 in 10 people living in poverty — and more than half in extreme poverty. It’s also been affected by prolonged drought in recent years. Many people who live here are farmers, but soil erosion makes it difficult for families to grow crops.
