The original local craft tour

During this incredible experience, get to know the colorful villages of La Antigua Guatemala, and visit the Chocolate and wine workshops where you will be given an explanation of how they work in the colorful city of San Juan del Obispo. As well as a tasting of different artisanal wines and cocoa.

In both places, it is necessary to leave a tip to help the artisans of these picturesque places and the growth of the community, to encourage them to keep going and contributing to their economy. In both places, there is a shop to buy artisanal wine and cocoa; it is not mandatory but it is suggested to give tips to the small artisans!

Then we will visit the colorful town of San Pedro Las Huertas, known for its ultra-baroque church from the 16th century and its water tank, which is the largest in Antigua Guatemala. You will also visit a jade workshop where an expert will give you all the information about jade, which was very important for the Mayan civilization.
