Iximche

After pickup from your Antigua hotel, venture northwest approximately an hour to the dusty town of Tecpán. Here, explore the Mayan ruins of Iximché, once the Kaqchiquel Maya capital and a Guatemala must-see attraction. Upon entering the ruins, you'll see four ceremonial plazas, which are surrounded by tall temple structures and two ball courts. Tour the site with your knowledgeable guide and discover the ancient history of Guatemala.

After exploring the Ruins of Iximché, continue your day trip to Chichicastenango. You'll feel like you've stepped back in time as you walk through the town’s narrow cobblestone streets and past its red-tiled roofs. In the main town plaza, visit the famous Chichicastenango open-air market, filled with locally made products like ceramic pots, wood carvings and handmade goods, as well as fruits and vegetables. Browse the local wares and pick up a souvenir or two to take home!

A good day but a long day.

Long day (11 hours). Know that Chichicastenango and Iximché are not very close to each other so about half the day is driving. That said both are well worth a visit and i felt we had enough time at both places. Our guide was good though did not have much to add during the long drives. Adding wifi to their vans would be nice in the future.
A Long Good Day

Be prepared for a long day (11 hours start to finish, and while Iximché and Chichicastenango were very interesting each in their own way it is quite a distance between the two. Our guide was good with excellent English, though didn't offer much other insights on the long drive there, between, or back. The van was comfortable, and it was just four of us in total. the guide did make some special stops at our request for some pictures. If you are going to do this tour choose a Market Day in Chichi (Thursday and Sunday). Since it is such a long ride Wifi in the van would have been nice. Maybe a USB charger or two. I am glad we did this tour. Well worth it

Quite an interesting adventure, to see both the Mayan beliefs merge with catholism, superstitions, and great things to buy, souvenirs, mask fabrics, etc

Carlos is an excellent guide! Thoughtful, warm and engaging. Carlos would communicate readily in both Spanish and English for those from the States and Colombia. He wanted the small group (two pairs of mother/ adult daughter) to be comfortable and enjoy the experience. The driver Ariel was focused and made the route from Antigua to Chichi and back safe and secure. Chichicastenango is bold and colorful! Go order some food from the market sellers! The ruins of Iximche and the surrounding grounds are really nice to explore in the later afternoon. Really glad I booked this trip and with Carlos Ordóñez.

It was historic. Oscar was a really good guide, he knew all of the historical facts and the nuances to be able to explain it and link both sites together.
Nice day

Gustavo was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The two sites were small but beautiful. And are 7,000+ feet so be careful if you have elevation issues.
A must see

Tour guide was very friendly and informative. He clearly had a passion for what he does and that passion added to our group’s experience. I highly recommend this tour Chichicastenango is a must see and the ruins in Iximché are very interesting as well.
LONG DAY BUT WORTH IT!

Our trip to Chichicastenango and Iximch was perfect. Our guide Oscar was very knowledgeable and enthusiatic about Guatemala and Mayan history. We got to watch a Mayan ceremony at the ruins. Would've loved to spend more time at the market but these 2 places are very far from Antigua and the market closes at a specific time. Just means we have to go back!
Iximche was the highlight of this trip

Very good tour just not sure if Chichicastenango is worth the 3 hour drive. Iximche was fantastic however. Our guide was very good and knowledgable

The best part was to visit the Ixmiche ruins. Chichicastenango and the market are not worhted the time you spent on the bus. Would be great to have a trip that goes to the ruins and perhaps the lake.
