Itinerario
Raccogliamo viaggiatori dagli hotel di Città del Guatemala e Antigua Guatemala. Il tragitto in auto da Città del Guatemala a Chichicastenango dura circa 3 ore, a seconda del traffico. Lungo il percorso, possiamo fare delle soste per pause bagno, uso del bancomat, acquisti di snack o semplicemente per sgranchirsi le gambe. Il vostro comfort è la nostra priorità, garantendo un viaggio fluido e piacevole verso questa vivace destinazione.
Questa chiesa storica, risalente al 1540, è un'affascinante miscela di tradizioni cattoliche e Maya, mostrando un sincretismo religioso unico. Per raggiungere il suo ingresso, salirai gradini fiancheggiati da venditori che vendono incenso, fiori e candele, offerte per coloro che vengono a pregare. All'interno, l'aria è piena di profumi di incenso e fiori, e assisterete a preghiere che fondono splendidamente i rituali cattolici con le antiche usanze Maya. È un’esperienza accattivante e un modo potente per osservare la fede espressa in una forma davvero unica. Non perdetevi questo straordinario incontro culturale e spirituale!
Uno dei punti salienti di visitare il Guatemala è esplorare i suoi vivaci mercati all'aperto, pieni di cultura e tradizione vibranti. Passeggiando per il vasto mercato, troverai tessuti Maya colorati, souvenir fatti a mano, gioielli in argento unici nella regione e accessori artigianali. È una festa sensoriale di colori, artigianalità e tradizione: un'esperienza da non perdere!
La città vanta uno dei cimiteri più belli e colorati del mondo, con lapidi vibranti e riccamente dipinte che si trovano intorno alla proprietà in un caleidoscopio di colori. Se sei fortunato, vedrai una cerimonia Maya.
Dopo aver esplorato Chichicastenango, prenderemo una panoramica 1 ora di auto a Panajachel, la porta del Lago Atitlán. Qui, visiteremo la strada principale della città e il suo vivace molo, dove godrai di una vista mozzafiato sul lago e sui suoi maestosi vulcani. Il pranzo è da soli in uno dei tanti deliziosi ristoranti di Panajachel prima di tornare in città.
Alla fine del nostro meraviglioso tour, ti riporteremo sani e salvi al tuo hotel in città. Puoi approfittare di questo tempo per rilassarti o fare un pisolino se lo desideri.

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 :)
