I'm your Guide to Authentic Guatemala I am passionate about Guatemalan culture, history, and sustainable tourism, and I love creating immersive experiences that connect travellers with the heart of this beautiful country. With a background in strategic leadership, philanthropy, and community engagement, I have dedicated my career to ensuring that tourism directly benefits local communities. Holding a Master’s in Digital Marketing and extensive experience in project management and fundraising, I have led community-driven travel initiatives that support artisans, farmers, and cultural guardians. Whether it’s a walking tour through historic Antigua or a hands-on weaving or coffee workshop, I strive to make every experience meaningful and unforgettable. Join me on a journey beyond sightseeing—immerse yourself in Guatemala’s traditions, meet its people, and take home stories and connections that will last a lifetime. Let’s explore together!
