About
The tour of the Guatemalan highlands is a unique contrast of nature and culture. Our first point to visit will be the Chichicastenango craft market, which is only installed on Thursdays and Sundays. In this place we will know the daily living of the Quiche Maya and we will have time to make purchases of crafts, a very important part of the experience. In the afternoon, the visit continues in the town of Panajachel, where we will have lunch and enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful Lake Atitlan, formed more than 85,000 years ago and currently guarded by three imposing volcanoes. At the end, the return to Guatemala City begins.
