Chichicastenango Market & Lake Atitlan Tour

At the designated meeting point on Calle Oriente in Antigua Guatemala, we will begin our journey towards the highlands of Guatemala. Our first destination will be the charming indigenous village of Chichicastenango.

Upon arrival, we will visit the renowned Chichicastenango Market, where the rich local culture is palpable. The market is a vibrant hub, offering an array of goods ranging from fresh, locally sourced produce and homemade treats to exquisite handmade crafts.

Following our market exploration, we will proceed to the Church of Santo Tomás, a significant landmark in the town. This church, built in the 16th century, stands atop an ancient pre-Columbian temple platform, with the original Mayan steps still utilized by local priests. Afterward, you will have a chance to enjoy lunch at your leisure (not included).

With refreshed spirits, we will continue our journey to Panajachel, the largest town nestled along the shores of Lake Atitlan, known for its breathtaking beauty. The stunning views of the volcanoes surrounding the lake are sure to leave a lasting impression.
