During the trip you will see many different landscapes, you will go from hot to cold as we will go to the highlands. Enjoy the road.

After our time on the road, we will arrive at the Mayan city of Iximché. This was the last Mayan city in Guatemala before the coming of the Spanish conquerors. Get ready to know its history full of wars, conquests, betrayals, kings, and more. You will be accompanied all the time by a tour guide specialized in archeology and history, so rest assured that all the questions you may have will be answered. This site is frequently visited by people of Mayan descent to carry out different ceremonies. They can be ceremonies of a petition, gratitude, etc. If we are lucky and if the local people allow it, we will be able to witness a Mayan ceremony.

After a perfect visit full of history, we will go to Pueblo Real in Tecpán so you can enjoy a delicious lunch. Enjoy your free time and eat deliciously. Then we will head back to Puerto Quetzal back to your cruise ship.
