Step into the vibrant heart of the mercado of Antigua with Due South Travels and discover a side of the city most visitors miss. Winding through a colorful maze of stalls, you’ll experience the sights, sounds, and rhythms of daily life as locals shop for everything from fresh produce and spices to textiles and household goods.
Along the way, your guide will bring the market to life—explaining what you’re seeing, how it all works, and why this bustling space plays such an important role in Guatemalan culture. You’ll sample seasonal tropical fruits you may have never seen before, taste traditional Guatemalan sweets, and even try your hand at making fresh tortillas the way locals have for generations.
To round out the experience, we’ll sit down together at a humble, authentic market comedor, where you’ll have the chance to enjoy a traditional Guatemalan meal and learn more about the country’s rich culinary traditions. (Lunch is not included, but estimate Q40 per person.)
