About Vista Hermosa
Vista Hermosa was once known as “Los Chujes” or a Mayan sauna. In 2005, when the municipality of Cantinil became independent from Chiantla, each community had the opportunity to choose a new name if they’d like.
That’s when “Los Chujes” became Vista Hermosa which means beautiful view because of their beautiful landscapes.
A majority of the community works in masonry, coffee plantations, and vegetable gardening. The people of the community are known to be humble, helpful, and hardworking.
Vista Hermosa has partnered with 410 Bridge since 2017.

Sponsor the Community of Vista Hermosa
When you sponsor the Vista Hermosa community through 410 Bridge, you support programs and projects that allow the people to fix their own unique set of barriers. Every chance we get, we want to empower and lift up people to recognize that God has given them giftings and skills to move their communities forward to a better and more self-sustaining place.
Sponsoring the Vista Hermosa community, whether for $18, $23, $35, or more a month, allows for this to happen.

Stories from Vista Hermosa
How Sponsorship is Transforming a Life
Thanks to the sponsorship program of 410 Bridge, a boy who lost his parents and faced enormous challenges is now discovering the power of learning and dreaming.
When Yowin López was just eight months old, his mother—already ill—held him tenderly in her arms. That moment, full of love, would be the last time he felt her warmth. Yet it marked the beginning of a story defined by faith, family, and opportunity—an opportunity brought to life through sponsorship.
Today, at ten years old, Yowin continues to write a story of hope and resilience, made possible because a sponsor believed in him.
A Kitchen Built on Faith and Unity
In the heart of Vista Hermosa, surrounded by mountains and hope, there is a community that refuses to give up. The community of Altamira has faced real challenges—most notably, a school kitchen that was deteriorated and lacked the proper conditions to prepare meals for children. It was a space that didn’t reflect the care these children deserve. But today, something powerful has begun to change.
Today, we’re not just celebrating a renovated kitchen. We’re celebrating a transformation built with love, effort, and unity. This community dreamed of a dignified space for their children, and through prayer, hard work, and collaboration, that dream became a reality.
A Bright Future Begins Today
Across the hills and valleys of rural Guatemala, you’ll find classrooms filled with potential. Children eager to learn. Teachers devoted to their calling. Communities that believe in the power of education to transform lives.
But too often, what you won’t find are the basic materials needed to make education truly effective.
