725km of Culture: Running Across Guatemala

On September 5, 2024, Daniela Andrade took on a challenge that no one had ever attempted before: running from Tikal to El Paredón, covering over 700 km in just 10 days. But this is more than just a physical feat—it’s a mission to showcase Guatemala’s beauty, its rich culture, and the urgent need to protect its water resources.
Despite being a country with abundant water sources, 90-95% of Guatemala’s water is contaminated, and a significant portion of the population lacks access to clean drinking water, severely impacting public health.
With every kilometer, Daniela strives to raise awareness and funds for environmental sustainability, proving that sports can be a powerful tool for change.
Follow her journey as she pushes her body to the limit, crosses the heart of Guatemala, and proves that nothing is impossible.
