Top Cultural Highlights in Guatemala
Tikal National Park
Walk among ancient pyramids at sunrise, guided by local experts trained in Maya cosmology. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-see, but we go beyond the usual tour.
Antigua Guatemala
This colonial city blends Spanish architecture with Indigenous expression. Join a chocolate-making workshop, browse local galleries, or learn about jade carving from Maya artisans.
Chichicastenango Market
One of Latin America’s most iconic markets, it is home to handwoven textiles, traditional medicine, and spiritual rituals. These make it more than a shopping stop—it’s a living cultural experience.
Hidden Gems Few Tourists Discover
Uaxactún (Petén)
Explore quiet Maya ruins still inhabited by local families. Archaeology meets anthropology in this off-the-beaten-path site near Tikal.
Almolonga & Zunil
Known for colorful traditional dress, hot springs, and powerful Mayan-Catholic ceremonies led by local shamans.
Ixil Triangle (Nebaj, Chajul, Cotzal)
Remote, resilient, and culturally rich. Learn about textile symbolism, oral history, and post-conflict healing with expert local guides.
