Explore Guatemala

 

We offer bespoke day trips to surrounding areas of Antigua  or further afield including Lake Atitlan, the Pacific coast, Amatitlan lake, Pacaya volcano, the beautiful region of Tecpan (famous for its restaurants) and the often overlooked Mayan sites of Iximche and Reino Poqoman.

We can provide transport to local markets and towns outside of the tourist areas to get a real feel for Guatemala, such as Pastores (order some custom made leather boots), Santa Maria de Jesús (local market) located on one side of Agua volcano, the tranquil hilltop village of San Cristóbal el Alto, and San Juan del Obispo (take a Convent tour at the site of one of the oldest Catholic buildings in Central America or sample a cup of local artisanal hot chocolate).

​

Guatemala city has many wonderful places to visit including having the best museums in the country. There are wonderful artesanal markets, restaurants, bars,  cafes, central plaza, and shopping centres.

​

Please feel free to contact us if there is something you would particularly wish to do outside or in addition to the main tourist destinations.

About Me

Lhess is Guatemalan and is a Dentist in Antigua. He studied Mayan culture for four years and has extensive knowledge of Guatemalan history and current affairs. He was born during a period in Guatemala´s civil war where the country suffered some of its worst atrocities.  From a young age he travelled with his mother, an Anthropologist, to areas particularly affected by the war.  These experiences had a great impact on his appreciation of its history, culture and strength of its people.

Over the years Lhess has always availed of opportunities to travel in Guatemala alongside his work as a Dentist , including providing private tours.  He takes security of his passengers very seriously from his knowledge of the roads, as well as considerations such as the impact of weather conditions and times of the day when best to travel.  He is passionate about showing the best that Guatemala has to offer and hopefully this will shine through if you choose to take a tour with him.
