Reiseverlauf
Wir holen Reisende von Hotels in Guatemala-Stadt und Antigua Guatemala ab. Die Fahrt von Guatemala-Stadt nach Chichicastenango dauert je nach Verkehr etwa 3 Stunden. Unterwegs können wir Stationen für Toilettenpausen, Geldautomatennutzung, Snackkäufe oder einfach nur zum Strecken der Beine machen. Ihr Komfort steht bei uns an erster Stelle, um eine reibungslose und angenehme Reise zu diesem pulsierenden Ziel zu gewährleisten.
Diese historische Kirche aus dem Jahr 1540 ist eine faszinierende Mischung aus katholischen und Maya-Traditionen und zeigt einen einzigartigen religiösen Synkretismus. Um den Eingang zu erreichen, klettern Sie Stufen hinauf, die von Verkäufern gesäumt sind, die Weihrauch, Blumen und Kerzen verkaufen – Opfergaben für diejenigen, die zum Gebet kommen. Im Inneren ist die Luft mit den Düften von Weihrauch und Blumen erfüllt, und Sie werden Zeugen von Gebeten, die katholische Rituale mit alten Maya-Bräuchen wunderbar verschmelzen. Es ist eine fesselnde Erfahrung und eine kraftvolle Art, Glauben zu beobachten, der in einer wirklich einzigartigen Form zum Ausdruck kommt. Verpassen Sie nicht diese außergewöhnliche kulturelle und spirituelle Begegnung!
Eines der Highlights eines Besuchs in Guatemala ist die Erkundung der lebhaften Märkte unter freiem Himmel, die voller lebendiger Kultur und Tradition sind. Während wir durch den weitläufigen Markt schlendern, finden Sie bunte Maya-Textilien, handgefertigte Souvenirs, Silberschmuck, der einzigartig in der Region ist, und kunsthandwerkliche Accessoires. Es ist ein sinnliches Fest der Farben, des Handwerks und der Tradition – ein Muss!
In der Stadt befindet sich einer der schönsten und farbenfrohsten Friedhöfe der Welt mit lebendigen, reich bemalten Grabsteinen, die in einem Kaleidoskop aus Farben um das Grundstück herumstehen. Wenn Sie Glück haben, werden Sie eine Maya-Zeremonie sehen.
Nachdem wir Chichicastenango erkundet haben, machen wir eine malerische 1-stündige Fahrt nach Panajachel, dem Tor zum Atitlansee. Hier besuchen wir die Hauptstraße der Stadt und ihren belebten Steg, wo Sie einen atemberaubenden Blick auf den See und seine majestätischen Vulkane genießen. Das Mittagessen erfolgt auf eigene Faust in einem der vielen herrlichen Restaurants von Panajachel, bevor wir zurück in die Stadt fahren.
Am Ende unserer wunderbaren Tour bringen wir Sie sicher zurück zu Ihrem Hotel in der Stadt. Sie können diese Zeit nutzen, um sich zu entspannen oder ein Nickerchen zu machen, wenn Sie möchten.

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 :)
