Upon arrival at Guatemala City Airport, your private transfer will take you to the enchanting colonial city of Antigua Guatemala (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours).

Once checked into your hotel, you may relax on the terrace or head out to explore the city at your own pace. Today you’ll have the chance to wander through cobblestone streets full of life, admire colorful facades, and soak in the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage treasure.

Your culinary adventure begins today. Your local food expert will pick you up at your hotel and guide you through Antigua’s central market, where you’ll gather all the ingredients for your hands-on cooking class.

Then, roll up your sleeves and learn how to prepare three traditional dishes: tamales, pepián, and a refreshing local drink.

A private boat will carry you across Lake Atitlán to the colorful town of San Juan la Laguna, known for its murals, stunning textiles, and breathtaking views.

Today’s experience will be with an inspiring collective of Maya women weavers. In an open-air space surrounded by nature, you’ll learn the ancestral art of natural dyeing and weaving, from spinning cotton and preparing plant-based dyes to mastering the techniques of the backstrap loom.

A day of discovery in the communities of San Antonio Palopó and Santa Catarina Palopó.

Your first stop will be in San Antonio, a tranquil town that has remained off the radar of mass tourism yet stands out for its exquisite textiles and remarkable ceramics.

This craft was introduced by the renowned artist and master potter Ken Edwards, whose legacy continues today in four locally owned workshops. Here, you’ll witness the creative process firsthand and learn about the three unique types of clay found in the Guatemalan highlands.
