Our Guatemala Trips

From Antigua, we currently offer a small selection of optional Trips that can be incorporated into your holiday plans.

Over time we plan to add additional trips, not just in Antigua but in others parts of Guatemala such as Lake Atitlan and Flores.

These Trips can last anything from a couple of hours to, as with the Acatenango volcano hike, an overnight stay.

Please note however that these Trips can only be booked as part of a complete holiday itinerary.

    Antigua Coffee Tour

    4 hr/s 09.00 Antigua Daily

    The Azotea Coffee estate is located just outside Antigua and has been in operation since the end of the 19th century. Tours begin at the Museum, which explains the history of coffee, before heading outside and amongst the coffee trees where guides will explain how coffee is cultivated, harvested and processed. Of course, no tour is complete without a visit to the toaster where you can see, smell and taste the coffee for yourself. In addition to the Coffee Tour, the Azotea estate is also home to K'ojom House, a private, non-profit museum and research centre dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of traditional, Mayan music.

  • Colourful textiles at San Antonio Aguas Calientes

    Antigua’s Surrounding Villages

    4 hr/s 09.00 Antigua Daily

    Depart Antigua and head to the nearby village of San Antonio Agua Calientes, famous for its textiles and handicrafts, before continuing to the indigenous village of Santiago Zamora. Here you will learn about the MayaKaqchiquel culture and have the opportunity to interact with a group of women artisans called Ixoki’ aj Quiema’, who make beautiful and elaborate textile products, using techniques passed down from generation to generation. After a traditional lunch you will return to Antigua.
