Overview

Mobile ticket
The tour of the Guatemalan highlands is a unique contrast of nature and culture. Our first point to visit will be the Chichicastenango craft market, which is only installed on Thursdays and Sundays. In this place we will know the daily living of the Quiche Maya and we will have time to make purchases of crafts, a very important part of the experience. In the afternoon, the visit continues in the town of Panajachel, where we will have lunch and enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful Lake Atitlan, formed more than 85,000 years ago and currently guarded by three imposing volcanoes. At the end, the return to Guatemala City begins.

Culture and shopping.

5.00It is very interesting to experience the culture of the town and the guide's explanations were punctual, with good transportation and timing. You should wear comfortable shoes, a cap, and a willingness to walk. Look for prices in the market.
Colorful and beautiful trip

5.00Vet responsable and great communication. Brian was an amazing driver and took us to meet a tourist guide who gave us an amazing tour of the market and churches, then later at Panajachel he was very patient and let me stop in every colorful vendor on our way to our destinations. I recommend it!

5.00The lake is beautiful, warm and with an incredible view. Chichicastenango is a sociological experience. Mayan culture unites with Christianity in the same place (church, old Mayan temple) the cemetery is totally colorful

5.00My guide Eloida was absolutely fantastic. Spent a wonderful day at the Chichicastenango marketplace. Unfortunately rain stopped our visit to Ixichme, but it was still definitely worth the trip.
