Hi! Let's experience Guatemala in an out-of-tourists-scope way. I love the countryside, its lifestyle and outdoors activities but I'm devoted to living culture. Therefore I decided to study something different than the conventional careers and that was it! I'm a licensed Tour Guide since 2004, a graduated Archaeologist since 2011 and since 2010 I've been able to combine these two areas when started teaching the courses of History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism in several rural communities, universities and educative establishments around Guatemala. All of these experiences together allowed me to know off-the-beaten-path destinations and making friends! But the most important thing has been expanding my vision of how cultural and natural richness is being managed but specially about Guatemala's social reality. And as I myself am a traveler, I totally understand time can be just not enough when visiting beautiful places as those in my country! So, when travelling with me, you'll get: - Knowledgeable guide and fluently in English/Spanish. - Patience and flexibility to experience Guatemala (history, traditional values, sharing with local people, nature landscapes, etc. ). - Amazing off-the-beaten-path destinations. - Comfortable vehicle and enough space for luggage. - Convenient and safe places for intermediate stops during the transferring. - Access to ongoing archaeological investigations, restricted museum collections and restricted areas in wildlife conservation centers. - Someone willing and ready to assist you and show you Guatemala. - Tour guide license - Archaeologist - Cultural Property Manager - Driver license Type C - Don't go hiking to the crater of Pacaya / Fuego Volcanoes, it's prohibited, but only permitted areas. - Don't support any offensive behaviour or discrimination against indigenous people. - Don't stop at places excluded of the tour schedule if unsafe.

Overview of your Antigua tour

History and architecture made of Antigua Guatemala gain the honor to be a UNESCO World Heritage but it's also about coffee. Can you believe there are 8 different coffee regions only in this small country? Guatemala produces premium coffee that you can even buy in Starbucks! In this tour we'll go exploring the plantations located at the skirts of the Agua Volcano to know the conditions and processes in which small-scale farmers produce the Antigua Region Coffee, a great quality coffee, later you'll get the chance to share time with the family at their own house, know the artisanal grinding process and taste this excellent beverage.

Your Antigua tour itinerary

Regular schedule of the tour is: 09:00 Meet and pick up at your hotel in Antigua 09:05 Transfer to village where coffee plantations are located 09:30 Coffee Tour: walk and explanation in the plantations, visit to farmer's house to learn about the artisanal process that you can help with and taste the beverage in the Guatemalan way 11:30 Back to your hotel in Antigua End of service ADVANCED REQUEST NEEDED As optional, we can do the walking tour in Antigua before starting or after finishing the coffee tour, but I need an advanced request to organize my schedule. If you prefer to go to some sites by car instead of walking, then I can work it out too, it's no problem for me. But please also notify me of this in advance too. It's a 45 minute tour (only sightseeing of main attractions). COFFEE TOUR COMMENTS Notice that only during the coffee harvest season that is from November to January (it may extend to February), you can help collect beans and see farmers working in the plantations.
