UNESCO World Heritage Site
Antigua
A Warm and Authentic Welcome
Your journey begins with a traditional Guatemalan welcome dinner. Greeted by the country’s famously warm and friendly community, you'll be introduced to flavors that burst with local spices and indigenous recipes passed down through generations.
A Journey Through
Time & Tradition
UNESCO World Heritage Sites: We step into the cobblestone streets of Antigua, where colonial charm meets vibrant culture. We dive into Guatemala’s rich cultural heritage with a guided tour that displays local crafts and traditions. Witness Chokojol Juyu Weavers in action, observe the intricate process of spinning, dyeing, and weaving, passed down through generations.
Then we venture into the countryside for a farm tour where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the earthy scents of macadamia orchards, using sustainable practices that have sustained local communities for centuries.
A Night of
Fire & Fury
The Acatenango Experience
Volcano Experience
Imagine standing on the slopes of Volcano Acatenango, gazing across at Volcán Fuego as it lights up the night sky. Bright red lava bursts against the darkness, creating a natural light show that feels almost unreal. It’s one of those moments where time stops — pure awe, pure wonder, pure adventure.
🚙 4x4 Adventure + Short Hike
For those who want the volcano experience without the full trek, hop in a 4x4 vehicle that takes you close to the top. From there, enjoy a short hike to reach stunning viewpoints. If you choose this option, you’ll stay back in Antigua for the night, with plenty of activities, dining, and culture to explore.
Overnight Hikers:
The exhilarating ascent up Volcano Acatenango may test your endurance, but the reward is breathtaking. At the summit, you’ll witness Volcán Fuego (the Volcano of Fire) erupt in bursts of glowing lava. Since you’re staying overnight, the night sky comes alive with bright red streams from Fuego, a natural light show unlike anything else. It’s truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure — a hiker’s dream. Standing there, you realize this is what travel is all about: raw, unforgettable, and filled with awe.

Stunning Sunrises & Mayan Murals
A short trek will lead us to a stunning viewpoint offering panoramic views of Lake Atitlán. We’ll pass vibrant murals that tell the stories of Mayan heritage and local traditions. At the top, we’ll watch the sunrise cast golden hues over the lake, lighting up the volcanoes and villages around it.
Dare to Leap: Cliff Jumping Adventure
For those who crave exhilaration, the tour includes an unforgettable cliff jump into the cool, inviting waters of Lake Atitlán. This moment of adrenaline encapsulates the spirit of adventure of our trips.
Optional Paragliding Over Lake Atitlan: Defy Fear Together
Imagine standing on the edge, heart pounding, ready to take the jump. But here, in this moment, we don’t face it alone – we take the leap together! We face any fears and jump, the wind grabs you, and you’re souring above the deep blue waters and volcanos that surround Lake Atitlán. Talk about an adrenaline pumping activity with a show stopping location. We fly together, turning the fear into strength.
