Resplan
Vi hämtar resenärer från hotell i Guatemala City och Antigua Guatemala. Bilresan från Guatemala City till Chichicastenango tar ungefär 3 timmar, beroende på trafiken. Längs vägen kan vi göra stopp för toalettpauser, bankomatanvändning, mellanmålsinköp eller helt enkelt för att sträcka på benen. Din komfort är vår prioritet, vilket garanterar en smidig och trevlig resa till denna livliga destination.
Denna historiska kyrka, som går tillbaka till 1540, är en fascinerande blandning av katolska och maya traditioner, som visar upp en unik religiös synkretism. För att nå dess ingång klättrar du uppför trappsteg kantade av försäljare som säljer rökelse, blommor och ljus – offergåvor för dem som kommer för att be. Inuti är luften fylld av dofter av rökelse och blommor, och du kommer att bevittna böner som vackert smälter samman katolska ritualer med gamla Maya seder. Det är en fängslande upplevelse och ett kraftfullt sätt att observera tro uttryckt i en verkligt unik form. Missa inte detta extraordinära kulturella och andliga möte!
En av höjdpunkterna med att besöka Guatemala är att utforska dess livliga utomhusmarknader, fyllda med levande kultur och tradition. När vi promenerar genom den expansiva marknaden hittar du färgglada mayatextilier, handgjorda souvenirer, silversmycken som är unika för regionen och hantverksmässiga accessoarer. Det är en sensorisk fest för färger, hantverk och tradition – en upplevelse som du måste se!
Staden har en av de vackraste och mest färgglada kyrkogårdarna i världen, med livliga, rikt målade gravstenar som står runt fastigheten i ett kalejdoskop av färg. Om det är tur ser du en Maya-ceremoni vid den.
Efter att ha utforskat Chichicastenango tar vi en naturskön 1-timmes bilresa till Panajachel, porten till Atitlánsjön. Här besöker vi stadens huvudgata och dess livliga brygga, där du kan njuta av fantastisk utsikt över sjön och dess majestätiska vulkaner. Lunchen äter du på egen hand på någon av Panajachels många härliga restauranger innan vi beger oss tillbaka till staden.
I slutet av vår underbara rundtur tar vi dig säkert tillbaka till ditt hotell i staden. Du kan utnyttja denna tid för att koppla av eller ta en tupplur om du vill.

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 :)
