I look forward to sharing Guatemala and leading adventures with the goal of providing a genuine immersion to Guatemalan culture. I help you connect with the authentic essense of the Mayan culture and its people, deepening your understanding of the world, its cultures, and yourself. My goal is to inspire and guide those who travel to Guatemala, and will guide you in your quest to connect with the people and experience their culture. I am a life-long adventure traveler, always looking for the path less taken. In 2005, I settled on the shores of Lake Atitlán and fell in love with the lake and its people. I have years of experience as an adventurer; rafting, hiking, biking, rock climbing, camping, and teambuilding.

Overview of your Antigua tour

Santa Catarina is a small village that is easy to explore on foot. There are several womans weaving cooperatives where you can see the beautiful textiles being made into table coverings, clothing, and bed covers. The colors used on this side of the lake are bright vibrant blues, purples, and reds, woven into elaborate and beautiful designs. You will walk through terraced fields of onion and garlic as they have been maintained for hundreds of years, and visit with the farmers. Visit the home of a local Mayan healer (curasera). She will perform a healing or protection ceremony specifically for you. You will experience the ancient healing arts practiced by the Mayan for thousands of years. This is a unique opportunity to visit a local home and experience Mayan life for your self.
