Rejseplan
Vi afhenter rejsende fra hoteller i Guatemala City og Antigua Guatemala. Kørslen fra Guatemala City til Chichicastenango tager cirka 3 timer, afhængigt af trafikken. Undervejs kan vi gøre stop for toilet pauser, ATM brug, snack køb, eller bare for at strække dine ben. Din komfort er vores prioritet, hvilket sikrer en glat og sjov rejse til denne livlige destination.
Denne historiske kirke, der går tilbage til 1540, er en fascinerende blanding af katolske og maya traditioner, der viser en unik religiøs synkretisme. For at nå dens indgang, skal du klatre op ad trapperne linet med leverandører, der sælger røgelse, blomster og stearinlys - tilbud for dem, der kommer til at bede. Indenfor er luften fyldt med duften af røgelse og blomster, og du vil være vidne til bønner, der smukt blander katolske ritualer med gamle mayanske skikke. Det er en fængslende oplevelse og en kraftfuld måde at observere troen udtrykt i en virkelig unik form. Gå ikke glip af dette utrolige kulturelle og åndelige møde!
Et af højdepunkterne ved at besøge Guatemala er at udforske dens travle åbne markeder, fyldt med levende kultur og tradition. Mens vi vandrer gennem det omfattende marked, vil du finde farverige maya tekstiler, håndlavede souvenirs, sølv smykker unikke for regionen, og håndværksmæssige tilbehør. Det er en sensorisk fest af farver, håndværk og tradition - en must-see oplevelse!
Byen kan prale af en af de smukkeste og mest farverige kirkegårde i verden med levende, rigt malede gravsten, der står omkring ejendommen i et kalejdoskop af farve. Hvis heldig, ser du en maya-ceremoni ved den.
Efter at have udforsket Chichicastenango tager vi en naturskøn 1-timers køretur til Panajachel, porten til Atitlán-søen. Her besøger vi byens hovedgade og dens livlige brygge, hvor du vil nyde den betagende udsigt over søen og dens majestætiske vulkaner. Lunch er på egen hånd på en af Panajachel mange dejlige restauranter, før vi tager tilbage til byen.
I slutningen af vores vidunderlige tur tager vi dig sikkert tilbage til dit hotel i byen. Du kan udnytte denne tid til at slappe af eller tage en lur, hvis du ønsker det.

I booked this tour for my husband and I for our weekend getaway. It was worth every penny. Rubin was AMAZING tour guide. He was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was lovely to have a tour guide who is past about what he does. The vehicle was comfortable and clean. The drive was about 3 hours but it went fast because we stopped at a wonderful restaurant for breakfast. Plan for a long day. We left at 7:00 am and didn’t return until 7:00 pm. Chichicastenango was everything we expected and more. Panajachel was beautiful. The only feedback I would give was that I wished we had more time to see Panajachel and the lake. We ate a buffet lunch at a beautiful historic hotel in Chichicastenango. We spent about an hour or so there. I would’ve preferred to skip lunch and head over to Panajachel which was an hour away. We spent 20 minutes in Panajachel which was sad because the town had a lot to offer. With that said, we still enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this tour. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Happy Travels ☺️

WOW! I can not say enough great things about this tour with Carlos as driver and Ruben as guide. Ruben was full of fascinating information and so friendly and kind. The drive to the market was 2 hours but the break was nice and it went by quickly learning about Guatemala. Ruben made the trip so memorable by taking me (I was the only one on the tour) to the best stops and photo ops in Chichicastenango. The drive to the lake was beautiful and although the day was cloudy it was still a beautiful afternoon and delicious lunch. I did a few other tours in Guatemala and this was by far my favorite! Gracias a Carlos y Ruben :)
