Puerto Quetzal
We will start this tour immediately after picking up all our passengers at the cruise ports, either Puerto Quetzal or Marina Pez Vela. We will take advantage of the time on the road explaining all the interesting facts about Guatemala and its vibrant culture. We will take you to a lovely town near Antigua Guatemala, this town stands out above the others since the majority of its female population continues to wear their traditional costumes. In addition, they are the ones who are in charge of weaving these traditional costumes and continuing to maintain the ancestral traditions of their ancestors. We are talking about the town of San Antonio Aguas Calientes. Getting to this town will take us an hour and a half. During the tour, you will see beautiful landscapes. Enjoy the road.
Visitors will see Mayan Ladies weaving in the very old fashion style. They also will see how many and how beautiful are those hand-made fabrics and the ability of Mayan weavers to combine so many colors and Making them look so nice.

NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE

2.00The excursion did not meeting our expectations from the description given. We will not downgrade the experience due to the deplorable conditions of the roads nor the fact the handicap accessibility was down right dangerous with a very steep narrow ramp with 90 degree turns on narrow platforms with no guardrails. Ramon, our guide, repeated the history of the eruption of the three volcanoes hidden in the clouds three times on the trip to the village with very little other commentary coming or going. At the museum, he got us inside and sat down to eat his lunch. No description (or translation) of any of the methods used, history of the patterns. What little we learned was from pantomiming questions, a young woman's translation and the limited English of one of the weavers (mostly her sales pitch). He did take some pictures of us that he sent to our travel agent and pointed out an early church and the local laundromat which had wifi. My husband is a weaver and we selected this shore excursion to learn about a very unique and special skill being passed down for generations. Our knowledge came from our reading on the Internet NOT as we expected from a knowledgeable guide. A very expensive day for a mostly look around ourselves.
