Our journey begins in Las Majadas, known for its Asian community. Next, we'll visit the Kaminaljuyu ruins, an ancient Maya city from 1200 BC, where we will learn about its history and admire the archaeological site from the exterior, including remarkable ceramics and sculptures found there.

Our next stop is the Cerrito del Carmen, where a Catholic church has been rebuilt three times. We will then visit the historic center of Guatemala City to admire the Metropolitan Cathedral exterior and continue to the Miraflores Museum for the Maya exhibit.

We will enjoy traditional Guatemalan cuisine at a local restaurant, with a refreshing drink. Energized, we'll stroll along 6th Avenue to Plaza Berlín for a panoramic view of the mountains and volcanoes. After between 7 and 8 hours, we will return to the starting point.
