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

Let's enjoy Antigua through this sightseeing walking tour, in which history and baroque style buildings will take you back to the Spanish times. Did you know this type of architecture made Antigua become a World Heritage city listed by UNESCO in 1979? But coffee is also in the menu! Can you believe there are 8 different coffee regions only in this small country? Guatemala produces a worldwide recognized coffee. 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 this 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.
