Overview

  • Experience the Guatemalan highlands like few travellers do: a day that combines imposing nature, living Mayan culture, and postcard-perfect landscapes.

    We start in the market of Chichicastenango, one of the largest and most colourful indigenous markets in Latin America, active only on Thursdays and Sundays. Here you will walk among stalls of textiles, ceramics, and crafts while getting close to the daily traditions of the K'iche' Maya people — with time dedicated to exploring and buying unique pieces.

    In the afternoon we arrive in Panajachel, where you will enjoy lunch time (Not included)

    Panoramic view of Lake Atitlán, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Formed more than 85,000 years ago and surrounded by three majestic volcanoes, Atitlán offers a breathtaking backdrop that few photographs can fully capture.
